She spent three months in 1970 training under Linda Brauckmann inVancouver,British Columbia, Canada, and would later travel occasionally toLondon, England (c. 1975–1978), to learn from Gladys Hogg.[1]

Coulthard competed in both ladies' singles and pairs. With her first partner, Phillip Brown, she won the junior national pairs' title in 1968. Competing on the senior level, she and Mark Lynch became four-time national champions during the early 1970s.^[3]
