Where to start my lovilies. Like you I have a lifetime of experiences and stories  to share that lead me here. 

I grow up on the west coast of Ireland. I met my partner Steve ( picture with me above ) when I was 16 or 17yrs. We have pretty much been part of each others life's from then on. I am grateful to have him by my side as I navigate some intense roller coaster rides of healing, transforming, awakening and returning to LOVE. 

In 2008 after 3 months travel through central America, Steve and I arrived in new Zealand and we have been here ever sense. Life definitely picked up a notch after our move to NZ. In 2010 I started my Massage Day Spa business, In 2015 Steve and I launched our own dreamy vision of Vibrant Living Retreat and in 2017 I launched jy own holitsic intuitive massage and beauty training academy. All these have taken place in a little alpine village of Hanmer Springs. 

​

In 2009 I started to write a journal after learning about the benefits of this through a personal development training I was doing. Writing was not my thing and I had never kept a journal. However it has become my thing and through it I have reclaimed more and more of my free flowing authentic creative expression. Today I actually love writing and allowing words to formula to express the energies and vibes I am feeling and knowing deeper within. I can definitely do a stream of consciousness. My inner editor can still become a harsh inner critic with memories from childhood that was not so pleasant. However the more I write and give myself permission to write and be more gentle on self the better this is getting. To be frank I am happy for a good editor who loves editing to edit my stuff as long as they don't lost the essence of the message and vibes.

​

 I am delighted to have you here reading these words. I do hope we can stay connected and keep expanding the love vibes on planet earth and through our daily lives. 

​

Namaste
