A Life in Healing, Inquiry, and Presence
I was born in Milltown, Co. Kerry, Ireland, and from early years felt drawn to explore the deeper currents of life, how we heal, how we awaken, and how our bodies carry memory, resistance, and potential. What began with training as a nurse in Cork evolved into a lifetime journey of holistic healing, spiritual practice, and embodied inquiry.
In 1991, life upheavals called me deeper inward and outward, into meditation, breath, ritual, cultural traditions, and the many landscapes that shape the human spirit. Along the way, I raised two beautiful daughters and carried forward a deep love for living in full presence.
What Dancing the Worlds Means
The Heart of the Work: Embodiment, Healing, and Exploration
Dancing the Worlds was born from a simple but profound insight: life moves through us like a river. Our bodies, breath, and awareness are the ground on which we meet our patterns, memories, and deeper capacities.
This work is about embodied presence, learning not just with the mind, but through sensation, movement, breath, and lived experience. Our bodies hold wisdom: they teach us what thoughts alone cannot.
''WE HAVE A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH US, IT'S CALLED OUR LIFE.''
My Journey as a Healer & Practitioner
Path, Practice, and Ancestral Lineage
For over 25 years, I have studied and practiced a range of spiritual traditions, most deeply the Tsa Lung and healing sound practices of the Tibetan Bon lineage, guided by lineage teachers and grounded in reverence, not appropriation.
I have been privileged to walk with indigenous healers, shamans, and teachers across landscapes from the Andes of Peru to the Sahara of Morocco. These encounters have shaped my understanding of healing as something lived, somatic, relational, and open, not fixed or dogmatic.
In Peru, time spent with Q’ero shamans around Cusco, Pisac, and sacred mountains like Ausangate affirmed a deep truth: the land remembers, the body remembers, and through respectful practice we can both witness and release the patterns that bind us.
The practices offered here are drawn from embodied traditions that integrate body and consciousness, approaches that many seekers describe as transformative because they work with the whole person, not just the mind. These include:
Breath practices that support balance and emotional integration
Movement and embodied presence work to access somatic wisdom
Rituals informed by cultural traditions of connection and respect
Quiet practices that meet you where you are
The work is not about belief, it’s about experience, integration, and self-responsibility: learning to stand with your life, your body, and your breath as allies, not obstacles.
How We Work With Breath, Body, and Awareness
Growing Community, Shared Pathways
From workshops and individual sessions to long-form transformation courses, Dancing the Worlds continues to expand as a space where people explore what it means to be fully alive, in community, in nature, and in self-study.
Today I offer programs like:

Every path offered here is an invitation, not to become someone else, but to remember who you truly are.
