Beschreibung
Hello! I am originally from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. I am 58 years ol and I have two grown sons who live on their own. I have travelled a lot in the past 10 years, in Guatemala, Mexico, Spain, the US and Canada. I am very allergic to cats and horses, have asthma and sensitivities to artificial scents like highly-perfumed laundry detergent. I am an omnivore. I do not smoke or drink or do drugs.
I have done 17 workstays in the last 10 years, through Workaway and HelpX. Some were challenging, but most were amazing! I really love meeting people and helping them in their homes.
These are the types of things I have done in my workaways:
- Helped families clean and declutter their houses and garages/sheds (I really enjoy this!)
- Taken care of children and elderly people
- Helped a beekeeper with research and marketing, and selling honey at the farmers' market
- Helped people with their small businesses
- Helped people set up AirBnb in their homes (including staging the home, taking photographs and setting up the online profile)
- Taught yoga at a boutique hotel
- Helped people decorate their homes
- Housesat and dogsat
I have many skills:
I am a musician. I sing and play guitar, ukulele, piano, and harmonium. I recorded my first album in 2022. My music is Canadiana/Americana folk, with some rock and country thrown in.
I have taught calligraphy and handwriting for many years. I also enjoy writing, and I have worked as an editor and a proofreader. I love to crochet, embroider, and also enjoy multi-media/collage. I love art of all kinds!
I am a yoga and meditation teacher. I meditate daily and have training as a mindfulness meditation instructor. I teach "Yoga for Round Bodies™️", an inclusive and gentle form of yoga that is great for every body. I founded and lead a Bhakti yoga chanting group here in my hometown.
I am able to teach a 5-day workshop in meditation and calligraphy. Please ask if this is something you are interested in hosting. I taught this workshop in Spain in 2017 and would love to teach it again. I have been teaching calligraphy since I was 18 years old.
I am a bird lover and I love to be outdoors, especially near water. I am good at teaching people the things I know how to do. I enjoy taking photos. I am friendly, calm, social and confident. I enjoy cooking and baking. I enjoy organizing and decluttering. I love dogs, but I am very allergic to cats and horses and quite a few other animals.

Your time with us was all too short but on a personal level, quiet transformational.
I learned so much, working with you on the Calligraphy course, about mindfulness and the power of true concentration and focus and the necessity to be in a retreat setting to truly learn and indeed it wouldn't have been possible to achieve so… read more

for me. She also cooked and cleaned and helped with the kids. She was respectful and polite. We really enjoyed hearing her play her ukulele and sing. We loved having her here and would be happy to have her back any time!
