    Description

    Single Mother living at a peaceful horse property in central Norway seeking help with childcare and animal care. We live a quiet and mindful life with great emphasis upon health, high vibrational home environment and positive energy. We try to limit EMFs and ask that whomever comes have their own spiritual practice and do the inner work to keep their energy clean with a positive mindset. We are primarily vegetarian. We welcome all diets but will only cook vegan/vegetarian meals.

    There are four horses on property and possibilities for horse care/horse love for those with interest and experience. Having your own car is a preference but not a requirement. We can do grocery runs together on a weekly basis (grocery stores less than 10 min away). We offer clean water and air and astonishing nature to bask in. Perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway and those with a passion for the outdoors. Amazing location for wildlife photographers.

    Seeking help with my young child and the schedule can be discussed and accommodated but approximately 25/hrs a week. Daily feeding of the horses and occasional mucking. Lght housecleaning/snow shoveling. There will be plenty of time for rest and to do your own thing. Possibility to borrow my car once I deem you a reliable driver. Options for both solo and shared exploration.

    Otherwise I'm an introvert and a highly sensitive individual so I'm very much aware of the need for solitude, peace and retrieval for those of you with similar personality types:-)

    A preference will be given those with an interest/passion for cooking home cooked and healthy meals. Opportunities to learn / practice intuitive animal/equine communication and equine energy healing.

    Another preference will be given to those spiritually oriented with experience within the healing arts (reiki, energy work, holistic healing, body work,.sound healing etc.). I'd love someone to sit in quiet meditation with too, especially out in nature.

    Additionally I am trained in equine assisted psychotherapy and mental health counseling. I am also a nutritionist so there will be opportunities to learn more about holistic health and healthy nutrition. We welcome stays any duration. Young, old, man or woman. Preferably someone mature, with great humor and a kind heart, grounded and with a positive mindset.
