  • Description

    I love meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. I like to visit cities but I am a country girl at heart. I love to be and work in nature. I also love to help people shine to see their best side.

    My work background has been working with people doing art therapy and hypnotherapy/psychotherapy with individuals and groups. I am also an artist and love to be engaged in creative process. Everyone has an artist inside. My children are now living and working in the UK so I am free to explore new adventures. I am open and friendly.
    I continue to work with individuals on line so can do that in any remote setting with good internet. Last year I spent 10 days in Sardinia helping a family with gardening and painting furniture. We had a really special exchange. I was helping them with their English and we did some art together. The host came to visit me in my home in Ireland.

    I would like to travel more in Italy and I plan to go to Sicily. I am learning Italian so that I can integrate better with the local people. I understand a lot now and can be understood when speaking but I am still a beginner. I would like to stay for at least a month and maybe more. I am free from the middle of November.

    Looking forward to hearing from some lovely people if you need help.
