From an Irish background, I was introduced to Irish Dancing at a very young age and then went on to enjoy team sports and athletics at school. In my early teens I stumbled across a book on Hatha Yoga by Racquel Welch and explored the postures, along with the idea of awareness in each moment, this lead to further books and yoga classes which I drifted to and from for many years before developing a consistent practice.
Whilst I was drawn to sport and bodywork, I found myself following peers into Banking, with the intention of gaining some work experience before furthering her studies. It was many years before I came back to furthering those studies!!
I spent an intense few years gaining qualifications in Holistic (Swedish) Massage, Level 4 Sports Massage and Yoga Teacher Training. I am registered with the following industry bodies: The Sports Massage Association, Yoga Alliance, Independent Yoga Network and Register of exercise professionals.
My yoga practise helped me to remain calm and focused through the intense period of change. I found the physical benefits gained on the mat, such as improved breathing, strength and flexibility transferred across to my athletics and living more in each moment, improved mental stamina and accepting and letting go of conflicts past and present.
Off the mat I enjoy athletics, horse-riding, ski-ing and music, all of which continue to help me develop my understanding of the body and the impact the state of mind can have on our actions and performance. teaching draws on all of my experiences and teachers past and present.
