Description

I'm a traveler at heart.

I appreciate spending time alone in nature or in the garden, just me, the Earth's vibrations and the quiet. I am also a sociable creature and enjoy learning about other people's experiences in life, exchanging stories and just spending time in the company of open-minded people.

I'm a hard worker and a massive advocate for relaxation and taking time to just 'be'. Balance is very important to me.

Along with being in nature, art and music feed my soul. Whether it's going to exhibitions or creating art, playing the ukulele, or singing jazz, I love the arts. Creative brainstorming is one of my favourite things to do along with discussions about creating a kinder, freer, more sustainable world.

My story in a nutshell:
I left England twenty years ago. I'm of Irish decent.

I lived in Asia for 11 years and that's where I studied healing practices including Reiki, yoga, meditation, voice activation and healthy eating. I worked for an innovation company as a creativity trainer for 8 years and am a Reiki Master Teacher and somatic healer for over 15 years.

In a northern Italian village I learned the very basics of permaculture for a year.

For the last 8 years I've been living in a green suburban town just outside of Paris. It's here in France where I co-managed a Japanese restaurant, taught Reiki and meditation and discovered my love of digital and paper collage.

I'm very independent and pretty practical:

- Painting (walls, fences, wooden furniture)
- Healing sessions (meditation, Reiki somatic healing, voice activation)
- Cook/ prepare vegetarian and vegan meals -I make a mean vegan banana cake
- Cleaning, organising
- I can put furniture together (if there are instructions!)

What else ...
