"I have been practising Taichi since 2005 and teaching it since 2011. I started moving into the much wider world of Qigong during the pandemic. My journey continues with both traditions, always going to greater depths and discovering parts of myself that I had lost contact with."

"My wish is that as many people as possible experience the joys and depths of Taichi and Qigong and start their own internal journey"

Eileen trained with Niall O’Flynn (Galway) and Master Wang Hai Jun (Manchester) in Chen style. When Eileen started to teach, Eileen changed styles to the Sun style of tai chi. Eileen trained under Dr Paul Lam’s programme for Sun style and also with Dave Whitfield (Roscommon) and Standwood Chang (Boston). However, when Eileen first saw the Yang style of tai chi, she was smitten.

Eileen trained under Jo Pender (Galway) to learn the Yang form, as introduced by Gerda Geddes to England in the 1960s, and Dave Whitfield for the yang sword form.
