After a life long exposure to all things holistic and spiritual, I began my personal healing journey in 2011. It was after an experience of physical burn out establishing my first career in the midst of a family crisis. I realised suddenly that it is next to impossible to get through life by sheer will alone, calling in something greater than yourself is essential.

In 2015 I began my first professional training as a Yoga Teacher, and began teaching in 2016. I completed my 2 year diploma from Yoga Therapy Ireland in 2017 while also travelling back and forth to India, and all over Ireland, visiting and communing with holy sites and temples.

From 2015-2019 I pursued in depth mentorship in meditation, mantra and voice. Having worked with energy in an informal way for years, in 2019 I was initiated into Reiki to work with energy healing more effectively. I went on to be reinitiated in Golden Tera Mai levels I, II & III and Akasha Seichim with Alvagh Cronin, Tera Mai Academy of Ireland.

In 2018, after my father died from dementia, I gave up my successful career in film (and a burgeoning career in third level education) and founded my business Macha Yoga Studio. Macha Yoga has become a widely recognised boutique studio with 50+ 5 star ratings on Google, we offer weekly classes, a wide range of fascinating workshops and teacher trainings there.

In 2020, during the Covid pandemic, I enrolled in a Masters of Philosophy in Intercultural Theology at the School of Religions, Trinity College, Dublin. I became pregnant during the course and the day I gave birth to my son, I received a 1st class honours and the prestigious James Haire Prize for scholarship.

In 2023, my greatest teacher, my mother Rose, passed away after a short and sudden illness. I continue the studio in her house as she envisaged, where I raise my son with my partner Daniel and our dog and cat in Bray, Co. Wicklow.
