She has taught in various towns and cities in Ireland since then, including Dublin, Galway, Athlone, Cork and Killarney as well as internationally in London, Manchester and Tel Aviv.
She is a registered Psychiatric nurse but now spends her time helping people overcome chronic pain and illness through Shaolin Chi Kung.
