  • Description

    Hello!
    Passionate about nature, the environment and living a slow living life in line with mother earth!
    I am happiest while amongst the plants and trees and am training as an insight Herbalist.

    Art is also one of my greatest passions, and I've been working within the area of Art Therapy and have degree in Art.

    I've lived in Spain teaching English to children of all ages . I also am a proud auntie to four little ones and have a lot of experience working in schools (including forest schools and Steiner education).

    I am an independent person who is used to adjusting to different surroundings and integrating . I am happy to be alone (enjoy autonomy!) and equally happy to be in company with others.
    I see myself as enthusiastic and with a positive mindset which allows me to enjoy whatever I'm doing and very happy to be hands on with a task and enjoy getting things done. (Especially outdoors).

    In terms of work I am very open minded and have done Workaway in a few countries over the years -the longest time being five months in Portugal where I stayed with families, couples & friends . Some of the tasks included : Land clearing, fire prevention, olive tree cutting, gardening, painting cob houses, helping building a giant treehouse (Including insulating with cork and lime), helping out with children who are home schooled, animal care, Story telling with children and arts and crafts, harvesting fruit & building a compost shower/bath.

    Diet: Plant based, simple diet. No dairy or Gluten or meat currently.
