Description

Hello there 🙂

I’m a French woman who loves exploring, learning, and discovering the world.
My next big adventure, planned for Autumn 2026, is to move to Ireland — the country that has felt like home to my heart for many years — and begin a new chapter of my life. 🙏🏻✨☘️

Through WorkAway, I’m hoping not only to discover beautiful places and meaningful projects, but also to connect with people, communities, and ways of life that resonate with my values. As Ireland is where I hope to build my future, I see this experience as an opportunity to learn, contribute, and create genuine human connections along the way.

I have many passions: Nature in all its diversity (trees, plants, animals, stones…), music (singing, piano, guitar, and medicine drum), drawing, painting, embroidery, crochet, reading, writing, cooking, and finding wonder in life.
I also love dancing, practicing yoga and Pilates, paddle-boarding, surfing, snorkeling, walking, running, boxing, climbing and exploring nature — often with my lovely dog, Tara, by my side.

My professional background is varied: graphic designer, interior designer, special needs assistant, art teacher, naturopath, and hypnotherapist.
I’m currently developing my holistic therapy practice, combining naturopathy, hypnosis, art therapy, and drum relaxation sessions.

People who know me often describe me as warm, gentle, creative, and sunny — someone who listens deeply and makes others feel genuinely seen.
I’m naturally sensitive and empathetic, and I tend to bring a calm and caring presence wherever I go.
I’m also quite independent and comfortable with solitude.
You’ll often find me wandering through nature with my dog, immersed in a good book, or absorbed in a creative project. I don’t need to be entertained; I find joy and wonder in simple things. Personal and spiritual growth is also an important part of my life. When I commit to something, I do it wholeheartedly.

I enjoy helping with gardening, animal care, creative projects, painting, organizing spaces, cooking, and supporting children.
I’m also particularly drawn to environmental and sustainability projects, nature-based living, and places that encourage personal growth, mindfulness, and a conscious way of life. I’m always happy to learn new skills, lend a hand where needed, and contribute wholeheartedly to daily life.

I try to live simply and consciously, in harmony with my values and the world around me.

Warmly,

Mélissa-Luna ✨



En Français 🇫🇷 :

Bonjour 🙂

Je suis une Française qui aime explorer, apprendre et découvrir le monde.
Mon prochain grand projet, prévu pour l’automne 2026, est de m’installer en Irlande — ce pays qui me fait me sentir chez moi depuis de nombreuses années — afin d’y commencer un nouveau chapitre de ma vie. 🙏🏻✨☘️

Via WorkAway, j’espère non seulement découvrir des endroits magiques et des projets porteurs de sens, mais aussi rencontrer des personnes, des communautés et des modes de vie en accord avec mes valeurs. L’Irlande étant le pays où j’aimerais construire l'avenir, je vois cette expérience comme une opportunité d’apprendre, de contribuer et de créer de véritables liens humains tout au long du chemin.

J’ai de nombreuses passions : la Nature dans toute sa diversité (arbres, plantes, animaux, pierres…), la musique (chant, piano, guitare et tambour médecine), le dessin, la peinture, la broderie, le crochet, la lecture, l’écriture, la cuisine et l’émerveillement face à la vie.
J’aime aussi danser, pratiquer le yoga et le Pilates, faire du paddle, du surf, du snorkeling, marcher, courir, boxer, grimper et explorer la nature — souvent accompagnée de mon adorable chienne : Tara.

Mon parcours professionnel fut riche et varié : graphiste, décoratrice d’intérieur, assistante éducative spécialisée dans le handicap, professeure d’arts plastiques, naturopathe et hypnothérapeute.
Je développe actuellement mon activité de thérapeute holistique, qui associe naturopathie, hypnose, art-thérapie et relaxation au tambour.

Les personnes qui me connaissent me décrivent souvent comme chaleureuse, douce, créative et solaire — une personne qui sait écouter profondément et faire en sorte que les autres se sentent réellement vus et compris.
De nature nature sensible et empathique, j’apporte généralement une présence calme et bienveillante partout où je vais.
Je suis également assez indépendante et j’apprécie les moments de solitude.
On me trouvera souvent en train de me promener en nature avec ma chienne, plongée dans un bon livre ou absorbée par un projet créatif.
Je n’ai pas besoin d’être constamment divertie ; je trouve de la joie et de l’émerveillement dans les choses simples du quotidien.
Le développement personnel et spirituel est également une part importante de ma vie. Lorsque je m’engage dans quelque chose, je le fais de tout mon cœur.

J’aime aider au jardin, prendre soin des animaux, participer à des projets créatifs, peindre, organiser les espaces, cuisiner et m’occuper des enfants.
Je suis également particulièrement attirée par les projets liés à l’environnement et au développement durable, les modes de vie proches de la nature ainsi que les lieux qui encouragent l’épanouissement personnel, et une manière de vivre plus en conscience.
Je suis toujours heureuse d’apprendre de nouvelles compétences, de prêter main forte là où il y en a besoin et de contribuer pleinement à la vie quotidienne.

J’essaie de vivre simplement, en conscience, et en harmonie avec mes valeurs et le monde qui m’entoure.

Chaleureusement,

Mélissa-Luna ✨

More details about your skills

I am a holistic therapist, and my professional background also includes graphic design, interior design, art education, and supporting people with special needs.

I am naturally curious, adaptable, and always eager to learn new things. Over the years, I have developed skills in creative projects, arts and crafts, cooking, gardening, organizing spaces, teaching, and caring for children and animals.

I enjoy practical work as much as creative work and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I'm particularly interested in nature, ecology, sustainability, permaculture, and self-sufficient lifestyles.

People often describe me as reliable, patient, and determined. My only real limitation is that I cannot comfortably carry very heavy loads.

P.S. I would be absolutely delighted to learn some Gaelic and teach French in return! ☘️
