Beschreibung
Hello,

Born and educated in London, England, my parents owned a boarding house so I am used to living amongst people of other cultures and helping them during their stay.

My profession is in holistic therapies over a period of 30 years and I also helped to manage a healing and retreat centre in Mallorca, Spain where my work also included care of the finca and estate, housekeeping, permaculture, gardening, caring for chickens, orchards etc. I also gave talks, workshops and courses in Aromatherapy in Spanish as well as in English in Mallorca and in the UK.

Prior to that I worked in film, animation, office work, as partner and chef in a restaurant and was a member in a workers' co-operative wholefood shop and restaurant in Manchester in the late 70’s where my interest in healthy eating and lifestyle began. I love cooking and baking and enjoy housekeeping. I also volunteer at a local gallery stewarding and helping with tourists' enquiries. Presently I am concentrating on artwork.

I enjoy teaching conversational English to children and adults of any age, and make sure they get lots of practice whilst involving them in fun activities. I am told that I communicate well.

I’ve been a volunteer at the Tate Gallery in St Ives as part of the Family Learning Team and enjoy involvement in art with children. Helping at times with costume making and on-site catering for a local theatre group has been great fun and I enjoy working in teams as well as on my own.

I’ve also volunteered at a community gardening project helping to grow and sell organic vegetables, promote healthy eating and studied Organic Horticulture and Permaculture. I am interested in learning about community life and have enjoyed short stays at co-housing projects.

I like walking, folk dancing, body boarding, swimming, sewing, arts and crafts, Yoga and related activities and enjoy peaceful places close to nature when possible. I have two daughters and a grandson and now that I have more flexibility I enjoy the opportunity to travel and work whilst meeting new people, learning about their way of life and sharing skills.

Isabelle was a wizard in the kitchen! We'd never seen anyone spend so much time cooking and baking. And cleaning up afterwards. ;-) We all enjoyed eating her delicious meals and miss her already. She also helped with some sewing and introduced us to the world of aromatherapy and reflexology. Thank you for everything, Isabelle. We hope to see you… read more

What can I say! Isabelle was like bringing in another member of the family. She arrived with a little something for the children to play with, and often came downstairs with a small activity she had thought of. They were transfixed. We eat in very similar ways, so I was very happy to hand off the cooking to her periodically, knowing that we would… read more

I enjoyed my stay here, a beautiful and peaceful country estate a few minutes' walk from a secluded beach and open countryside. Nature is beautiful in these islands. There was plenty to do on the estate, it being the beginning of the season, and also sufficient time off to explore the lovely islands nearby. Louise is a generous host who made sure… read more
