She first engaged with this work when she was a final year BA music student at the University of Limerick back in 2005. She was instantly drawn to this holistic approach and undertook a research thesis on the benefits of the Alexander Technique for musicians and performing artists as part of her Masters in Traditional Irish Music Performance. Following this she was employed by the University of Limerick to facilitate weekly performance skills classes based on the Alexander Technique for BA music students which she continued for almost four years.
