In 2003, Ms Cullinan visited a number of health care sites in Ireland. During this visit, she met Ms Sally McKenna, an artist, community activist, and advocate of local practitioners in alternative care. Ms McKenna introduced Ms Cullinan to authorities in local government and community services. Ms Cullinan discussed information on therapies she had taught in the USA and that could potentially be used in Ireland. Interest in the concept prompted local newspaper articles and one radio interview. These events launched the MERI~MAC concept and its outreach mission.
