My career began in the medical field, first in orthodontics in Australia before returning to Ireland to work with children and special needs adults for the Health Service Executive dental services for almost twenty years.  I took a career break to raise my children and work from home. Always having a passion for horses and nature, I decided to pursue a lifelong dream to work with horses by becoming an equine specialist in the Eagala model of equine therapy in 2023.

I had always had an interest in health and wellbeing but like many I still found it difficult to meditate or even to get through a full yoga class! Breathwork is what changed everything for me as through focusing on my breath it brought me inward yet away gave me space between my thoughts. I knew I had discovered something profound that I wanted to share with others and so trained to be a breathwork coach to advanced level with the Blissful Breath Academy in 2024 and then combined it with a mindfulness certificate with the Irish mindfulness institute.

Afterwards I started up my popular Breathe with Horses sessions after having the idea to fuse both my equine and wellness experience, but after realising how many of my clients had issues with their functional breathing and so many health issues, I felt there was something more I needed to learn.

During that time I came across a physician-made breathwork method called Butekyo using evidence based science techniques to re-train daily breathing for better health and I was intrigued.

I began trying out some of these techniques myself and was genuinely amazed as a diagnosed neurodivergent person with high anxiety and sleep issues, that in a short space of time I was not only less anxious and more focused but my long term lower back pain had also eased dramatically.  

I had found the missing piece of the puzzle I was searching for and so I trained with Patrick McKeown and The Butekyo clinic international in 2025 and became one of only sixteen certified Buteyko instructors in Ireland.

This was both for me and I believe for the benefit of my clients, the perfect blend of science & holistic combined that i had been searching for and thus far, the results I have seen in my clients using these combination of methods has been remarkable and personally hugely rewarding.

I look forward to playing my part in your breathwork and mindfulness journey to better health.
