Daire grew up in Ireland where she was educated at Trinity College Dublin. She trained independently in ballet and jazz dance and on graduation her first job was as a professional dancer. While pursuing careers in the theatre, as a familiar presenter on BBC Radio 4 and as a criminal barrister, Daire maintained her interest and training in dance and movement.

Diagnosed with cancer in 1999, Daire made a full recovery and became interested in complementary therapies as an aid to healthy living, pain management and disease prevention.

She began studying massage in her spare time and received her ITEC diploma in Holistic Massage in 2006. She has since achieved distinctions in her diplomas in Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Sports Massage. In 2006 Pilates was recommended to her for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
