    Description

    Single Mother living at a peaceful horse property in rural Norway seeking help with childcare and horse care. We have a dog and a cat too. We have two vacant bedrooms in our house at a quiet and beautiful location 3 hours from Oslo. Less than an hour to Beitostølen - an amazing ski resort town. Incredible nature and endless possibilities for hiking, skiing and wildlife exploration. Otherwise close to major stores and a couple shopping malls for essential shopping.

    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 don't have a TV but it can be considered with the correct use / intention. We are primarily vegan but can do fish, eggs and cheese upon occasion. We welcome all diets but will only cook vegan/vegetarian meals.

    There are eight 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 4- year old Son and the schedule can be discussed and accommodated but approximately 25/hrs a week. Also occasional horse chores and light housecleaning/snow shoveling. Random request would be help in creating a website for anyone skilled in the digital world 🙂 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. There are public saunas 20 min away (in Fagernes) and the possibility of renting skiing for those wanting to go skiing.

    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. Needs to be someone mature - grounded and with a positive and mature consciousness.

    What else ...

    Opportunities for local sightseeing, rental of skiis (alpine ski resorts closely), visits to the public sauna (20 min away in Fagernes or Beitostølen). Plenty of time to do your own thing so great if you're able to self initiate activities and excursions. Or if you wish to spend time relaxing, reading, writing, taking long walks in the forest etc., then this will be a perfect opportunity for such. The possibility of borrowing my car for trustworthy drivers :-). Otherwise some collective transportation available. A couple shopping malls nearby though relatively small compared to bigger cities. They provide all the basics. Direct bus to/from Oslo downtown and Oslo airport (Valdres- ekspressen). Around 4 hours and around 700,- NOK one way. Drop-off Nord- Aurdal or Fagernes and I will pick up. January and February is COLD and lots of snow so please be prepared :-) We will have some sunshine on occasion. Also occasional northern lights.
