Descripción

Hi, I’m Orla. I'm an Irish art therapist living in London that loves conservation, nature and the outdoors. I am hoping to do some travelling between September and December of this year

I have lots of experience working with children, disabled children, and disabled adults, as well as facilitating community arts projects, including collaborative zines and murals.

I grew up in a seal sanctuary, which gave me a lifelong passion for wildlife and environmental conservation and turns out all the child labour came in useful lols. I've worked in dog boarding kennels in Ireland which was one of my favourite jobs so lots of animal care experience! I recently did 3 weeks on a workaway in a husky kennels in Finland.

Over the years, I’ve been involved in various hands-on projects, from surveying a local meadow with the London Wildlife Trust to repairing trails in the Alps with the European Voluntary Service. I also worked on an organic farm and garden in Berlin through a HelpX/homestay program.

I just love being outside and in nature, please help me escape London. I can do animal care, or any creative project. Id love to learn more about farm-work, gardening and sustainable living.

I am really passionate about the intersection of mental health, creativity, and the natural world, and I hope to expand my art therapy practice into outdoor and environmental therapy.

I’m also a beginner surfer and would love to find opportunities near a surf beach! I’m open-minded, hard-working, and always up for new challenges. If you need an extra pair of hands for conservation work, outdoor projects, or community arts initiatives, I’d love to hear from you! I also love rollerskating and skateboarding :)

Algo más...

I love spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking, cycling, wild swimming or surfing. I'm passionate about conservation, creative arts, and the connection between nature and mental well-being. I love making all sorts of art and I love writing poetry. I also love reading books especially literary fiction, fantasy and graphic novels. I love dancing very badly: very relevant.
