She is an assessing clinician and educator for the British Association of Performing Arts Medicine (www.bapam.org.uk) and works in a thriving private practice near Cambridge (www.montaguclinic.com).

Additionally, she is in high demand as a teacher and speaker, and contributes regularly to School INSET sessions for visiting instrument teachers, INSET sessions at County Music Hubs, the Royal College of Music Junior Department, the Royal Northern College of Music undergraduate and post-graduate wellbeing curriculum, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic 'Careers in the Music Industry' Study Day, BAPAM 'well-being for musicians' education sessions, Musicians Union 'well-being for musicians' activities and the Benedetti Foundation.

During lockdown she has contributed to four books about musicians’ wellbeing - all currently awaiting publication.

Outside of work she is an enthusiastic amateur musician, singing in two choirs in Cambridge and playing the Double Bass (rather badly, but with deep joy) in a string chamber group.

She is the mother of two musical children and understands from a first-hand perspective, how utterly transformative and life enhancing music is for children and for their families.

She shares her home and garden with a cat who seems to not mind the singing and the double bass.
