Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up playing guitar, flute, tin whistle, and harp — competing in Fleadh Cheoil from a young age and taking every opportunity to play that came my way. That early immersion in traditional Irish music gave me not just technical skill but a deep understanding of what music does to people — how it brings them together, lifts a room, and touches something that words can't reach. That understanding is at the heart of everything I do in Rhythm Room today.
I am a musician and educator with extensive experience working with people of all ages, from babies and young children to teenagers, adults, and older participants.
My work is grounded in a warm, inclusive, and student-centred approach, creating supportive spaces where learners feel confident to explore, express themselves, and grow through music.
Drawing on a background in community music, sound-based practice, and holistic wellbeing, I adapt my teaching to meet individuals and groups where they are, valuing creativity, listening, and connection as central to meaningful musical learning.
I am a qualified reflexologist with professional registration through the National Register of Reflexologists of Ireland (NRRI). My reflexology practice is grounded in a holistic, client-centred approach, supporting relaxation, balance, and overall wellbeing.
I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, tailoring each session to individual needs and creating a calm, nurturing environment where people can fully switch off and restore.
Reflexology complements my wider work in music and wellbeing, allowing me to support both physical and emotional health through gentle, non-invasive touch.
