Here’s 6 things you might like to know about me so we can get to know each other a little better.

1. I’m a mum of 4 kids (current ages 7-15). We love wild spaces and we spend lots of time exploring them- sometimes we all want to, sometimes we don’t - but we go anyway.

2. I’m Irish (from Dublin) and have lived in beautiful Yorkshire since 2004, after falling head over heels with the love of my life.

3. We’re unexpected homeschoolers but are embracing the journey fully and loving it! My eldest has just decided to try out school and gone into Year 8 so technically, we’re hybrid schoolers.

4. I trained as a primary school teacher and have taught in the UK and in Ireland. My most recent qualification is a Certificate in Therapeutic Skills for Outdoor Leaders.

5. Rooted Wings was launched from my life story and it is a sum of my life and a shared collective of my lived experiences; relationships, family, healing, marriage, motherhood and also from my professional work and qualifications too . I hope it serves you and your tribe on your journey well - You can watch more about that here.

6. Rooted Wings encapsulates my desire to give children, young people and their families better connection to themselves, each other and the land in order to improve outcomes for all. ‘Rooted’ so we have deep knowledge of belonging and ‘Wings’ a recognition of the need for autonomy.

That's me! I look forward to welcoming you on an adventure and getting to know you a little better,

Have you ever noticed that;

‘Nature is never in a hurry yet everything is accomplished’

This quote by Lao Tzu runs through the core at Rooted Wings. We want to follow and flow with the rhythms of nature in every day life to maintain an unwavering, steady, calm and yet relentless approach to life.

I want Rooted Wings to facilitate and create spaces for that to flourish in others, not just ourselves. I have felt the warmth and benefit of having spaces like this. It’s also an extension of our life at home, where we chose to homeschool, live in such a way that we are connected to ourselves, each other and the land around us. It’s a journey, one that we’re on and we’d love for you to join us either virtually through social media, newsletters and blogs or in person at a session.

I hope that you feel empowered and inspired to discover to go out into nature and discover for yourselves the rejuvenating power of nature and the gift and soothe that it is to our souls.
