A member of Bandon Athletics Club, Healy reportedly "began to fully focus on [athletics]" as a teenager.[4] A video of Phil Healy winning the final leg of the 4 x 400 metre Irish University Championships in 2016 went viral around the world.[5] Her winning run has been described as one of the best athletics comebacks of all time.[6][7][8] As she turns into the homestretch, having closed much of an 80-metre gap with the lead runners, the commentator is heard to shout "UCC from the depths of hell are powering through".[9][10]
She set an Irish 200m national record in July 2018. In the 2018 European Championships, she placed fourth with a time of 23.23.[11]
In a team which included Rhasidat Adeleke, Sophie Becker and Sharlene Mawdsley, Healy won a silver medal in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2024 European Championships.[12] Healy was also a member of the Irish team that came fourth in the 4 × 400 metres event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.[13]
