Welcome
Welcome. I’m Aisling, a Somatic therapist, teacher, and facilitator of cultural change.
Originally from Northern Ireland, I now live in Donegal with my husband in an old stone cottage, embedded in an expanse of wild nature.
With a background in Somatic practice, Celtic wisdom and cultural leadership, my work invites you to re-connect to the deep intelligence of the body and the rhythms of the living world. This enables a greater alignment with Soul, and a way of living that is rooted in relationship- with one another and our precious planet.
Weaving ancient wisdom, modern somatic psychology, and transformative leadership, I offer pathways to deepening presence and power. Personal healing meets collective evolution as I support you to cultivate the capacities needed to navigate crisis and change.
My Background
My work comes from a weave of over 20 years of deep personal transformation and professional trainings. I have most recently completed 3 years of a PhD in Psychology and Leadership and hold a diploma in Somatic Therapy and Education with Joan Davis.
I also hold teacher trainings in Contemporary Yoga and DTR Dance therapy, and trained in indigenous wisdom with Arywn Dreamwalker.
I also have completed trainings with Animas Valley, The Institute for Women Centred Coaching, and Peace-Making skills with Scilla Elsworthy.
Offering individual therapy, and group facilitation, I am also a Wisdom Council Member with Abbey of the Arts.
Whether you need individual support with personal challenges, or wish to join others in co-creating cultural change, I offer pathways to deep transformation, rooted in ancient wisdom and leading edge education.
“ Aisling is such a gifted teacher and compassionate holder of a safe space, for really diving into the soul’s wisdom and listening to its deep desires.”
“I found all the work deeply moving and the somatic and movement work gave me new ways to inquire and learn from my body. I felt deeply nourished by the group interactions. Overall, I took away a reconnection with my longing to bring my gifts into the world, more clarity about what they are as well as some practical steps to help me move in this direction.”
”Aisling presence is a gentle energy that feels you with ease, trust and warmth in which I learned new ways of nurturing. We used many different senses and techniques throughout her course and the outcomes were always new learnings about ourselves. I also loved her course as it always brings me to a deeper understanding of my body nature , which she herself embodies.”
“Aisling is kind, warm and non-judgmental and creates a healing space to explore all aspects of being human. I have learned how to be more kind and loving to myself and self-regulate when I am in emotional pain. I would highly recommend working with Aisling as a pathway to healing and becoming more whole.”
Aisling is kind…I would whole heartedly recommend Aisling’s Deep Feminine course. Aisling is a wise, kind soul with the most amazing facilitation skills!! She allows space and draws you into a world where you become creative and open with your thoughts, your past and even your sensuality. I feel the benefits are still unfolding for me. I also believe the success of the experience for me was the eclectic and fascinating group of participants. I learnt so much from the other women who attended each week as we shared our stories, laughter and tears together. If you are looking for something truly nourishing for your soul, I highly recommend!
I would …deep feminine course.This journey has been one of a kind for me.
Through this experience I discovered new things about myself and learned invaluable lessons from the stories shared by the others.
Aisling beautifully facilitated the expression of individual experiences and group activities, helping the group consolidate into a natural entity of empathy, laughter, tears and creativity.
Week after week a sense of flow and spontaneity accompanied the meetings skilfully organised by Aisling.
While the course unfolded, I allowed myself to go deep within and felt that Aisling’s warm and knowing guidance shed light where it was most needed. I felt free to explore and share knowing that my vulnerability was welcomed and that I was among friends.
Since this course has been such a soul nourishing experience for me I recommend it with all my heartThis journey has been….”Aisling presence is a gentle energy that feels you with ease, trust and warmth in which I learned new ways of nurturing. We used many different senses and techniques throughout her course and the outcomes were always new learnings about ourselves. I also loved her course as it always brings me to a deeper understanding of my body nature , which she herself embodies.”
” Aisling’s depth of knowledge and compassion was both supportive and inspirational as she used a variety of somatic exercises, reflective and creative writing, and deep group work in the workshops. It was wonderful to feel that I was in the hands of an experienced and gifted facilitator with interests that overlapped my own such as learning from the living world and the importance of community”.
