Description

(ENGLISH)

Hello! I'm Kate. I am a nature enthusiast, passionate about holistic health and wellness. I have recently qualified as a Naturopathic Coach and currently in the process of setting up my own business. I plan on spending this year travelling Central America learning about traditional herbalism in different cultures and I would also love to get some more experience working in retreat centres, eco-villages and organic farms.

I am originally from Ireland but I have spent the last 6 years living in Spain where I taught English in schools and later moved more into the holistic space and started facilitating women's circles, holistic workshops and wellness retreats. I love meeting new people, discovering new places and experiencing new ways of living. I have always felt very drawn to the Spanish language and hispanic cultures. I started studying Spanish when I was living in Spain and it came very naturally to me. Right now I have an advanced level and can communicate without any problems but I am always grateful for any opportunity to practice more and improve my level.

I joined a Latin dance school a few years ago and fell IN LOVE with salsa, bachata, kizomba, afro. Dance has become such an important part of my life ever since. It's like therapy for me.
I'm also really into yoga and meditation and I have recently completed my Yoga Teacher Training. I did this course more for my own personal practice but have also started teaching a few classes here and there. I also love acro yoga, ecstatic dance, hiking and really any activity that involves being outdoors in nature.

I am currently volunteering in Guatemala and planning on staying around for another few months before heading back to Costa Rica. I'm a digital nomad so I am very flexible in terms of dates. I am primarily looking for volunteer opportunities where I can develop my skills in herbalism or gain experience in the health and wellness industry and in return I can help out in the following areas:

- Reception / administration
- Social media & marketing
- Yoga teaching
- Naturopathic health coaching
- Facilitating herbal medicine workshops
- Gardening
- Cooking (mostly plant-based)
- Language teaching (English)
- Event management
- Animal Care
- Painting & DIY projects

I look forward to working together :)

(ESPAÑOL)

Hola! Soy Kate. Soy una entusiasta de la naturaleza, apasionada por la salud holística y el bienestar. Hace poco he obtenido el título de Coach Naturopática y estoy en el proceso de montar mi propio negocio. Planeo pasar este año viajando por Centroamérica para aprender sobre la herbolaria tradicional en diferentes culturas y también me encantaría adquirir más experiencia trabajando en centros de retiro, ecoaldeas y granjas orgánicas.

Soy de Irlanda originalmente pero llevo 6 años viviendo en España donde enseñé inglés en escuelas y luego me moví más hacia el espacio holístico y empecé a facilitar círculos de mujeres, talleres holísticos y retiros de bienestar. Me encanta conocer gente nueva, descubrir nuevos lugares y experimentar nuevas formas de vida. Siempre me he sentido muy atraída por la lengua española y las culturas hispanas. Empecé a estudiar español cuando vivía en España y me salió muy natural. Ahora mismo tengo un nivel avanzado y puedo comunicarme sin problemas, pero siempre agradezco la oportunidad de practicar y aprender más.

Hace unos años me apunté a una escuela de bailes latinos y me enamoré de la salsa, la bachata, el kizomba y el afro. Desde entonces, el baile se ha convertido en una parte muy importante de mi vida. Es como una terapia para mí. También me apasionan el yoga y la meditación y hace poco completé mi formación como profesora de yoga. Hice este curso principalmente para profundizar en mi práctica personal pero también he empezado a dar algunas clases. Me encanta el acroyoga, ecstatic dance, el senderismo y realmente cualquier actividad que implique pasar tiempo en la naturaleza.

Actualmente estoy haciendo voluntariado en Guatemala y planeo quedarme unos meses más antes de regresar a Costa Rica. Soy nómada digital, así que tengo mucha flexibilidad en cuanto a fechas. Principalmente busco oportunidades de voluntariado donde pueda desarrollar mis habilidades en herbolaria o ganar experiencia en el mundo de la salud y el bienestar. A cambio, puedo ayudar en las siguientes áreas:

- Recepción / administración
- Gestión de redes sociales y marketing
- Enseñanza de yoga
- Coaching en salud naturopática
- Facilitación de talleres
- Jardinería
- Cocina (principalmente basada en plantas)
- Enseñanza de idiomas (inglés)
- Gestión de eventos
- Cuidado de animales
- Pintura y proyectos de bricolaje

Tengo muchas ganas de conoceros y co-crear un mundo hermoso juntos ! :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I am quite a versatile person with skills in many different areas so I will try my best to categorise them below:

- Languages:
I am a TEFL certified English teacher with a BA in New Media & English and I have spent over six years travelling and teaching in schools, academies and universities immersion courses. I have a B2 level of Spanish and I would love to have the opportunity to practice more.

- Social Media & Technology:
I have a BA degree in New Media and English and have written many articles for local magazines and university websites in the past. I am generally very good when it comes to technology and have experience in designing websites, content creation and promoting businesses on social media.

- Holistic Practices:
I am a naturopath, herbalist and yoga teacher and retreat facilitator so I would be happy to offer these services too.

- Gardening & Permaculture:
I have recently developed a new interest in gardening and permaculture and I would love to learn more about it. My goal is to someday have my own self sustainable finca and grow my own food so for now I would really love to get involved in some permaculture projects and learn as much as I can.

- Art & DIY Projects:
I am a very creative person and love any type of art or craft work. I come from a very artistic family and grew up helping with various construction and decorating projects around the house. I also have some experience helping out with natural building projects on other Workaway projects.

- Communication Skills:
I am a very sociable person and I love meeting new people. Before becoming a teacher I had worked many jobs which involved interacting with the public (eg. customer service agent, receptionist, retail assistant, waitress, host, event planner).

- Sports and Outdoor Activities:
I am a very active person and have always been involved in different types of sports. But most of all I love being outdoors and hiking in the mountains. I also love yoga and I try to practice a little every morning. I was also involved in scouts for over 10 years and learned some very valuable life skills and practical survival skills here.

Autres infos...

Okay, a little more about me.... I'm very sociable, easy-going, patient and it generally takes a lot to upset me or stress me out. I am very adaptable and have a natural ability to remain calm in any situation and find a logical solution. I am also very empathetic so I love working in positive environments with like-minded people. At times I can be a little bit of a perfectionist, in the sense that if I start something, I have to finish it and do it well.

Some of my other hobbies include yoga, rollerskating and cooking. Sharing meals with friends and cooking together is one of my favourite things to do and I love finding new recipes and trying new foods from different countries. I also love music and dance. I have recently started taking salsa/ bachata classes and I really love it!

I'm also interested in astrology, holistic therapies, herbalism, plant medicines and sustainable living. There is so much more I would be happy to share with you over a coffee but I'm running out of space to write everything here. Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions!
