"Orlaith is an amazing human being!"

I have completed Orlaith’s training for school teachers and parents, her Cultivating Happiness, her Strengths for Flourishing and her Winterlight course. Each time I have come away deeply enriched. Orlaith exudes kindness and warmth. She is an engaging and responsive facilitator. I felt I was in very safe hands. I have grown so much in my mindfulness practice since training with her. She is extremely talented at listening deeply and encouraging understanding and insight. Orlaith is a true professional and yet the words that comes to mind when reflecting on her teaching are love, generosity and heartfulness. Thank you Orlaith!

"Teen mindfulness camp - great experience"

Dr. O'Sullivan ("Orlaith" to the kids) miraculously kept my 2 teenagers engaged and motivated in an online teen mindfulness summer camp. They started the camp on day 1 quite unwilling to participate, but she sparked their interest, and by the last day, they had actually paid attention and learned a number of useful practices. My normally-skeptical son was particularly impressed with Orlaith's passion and dedication to mindfulness. My daughter enjoyed Orlaith's warmth and ability to engage her personally in the material. Highly recommend!

"I regularly attend Orlaith's online…"

I regularly attend Orlaith's online retreats, gather your laptop, comfort blanket, pen, paper and drink and relax. Listen to Orlaith's gentle voice reading poems, once twice three times until you are immersed in the words. There is an invitation to write anything down that comes into the mind, it doesn't have to be read out to the circle but it can if you wish. There is something very lovely about being read to and guided through a couple of hours of one's life, where decision making can be set down for a while.

"Love"

Sometimes it's hard to write our feelings into a box… but that's exactly what this review requires - because the ultimate winner by spending time with Orlaith – is both you and your feelings about you! Orlaith strikes me as love, peace, and kindness personified. I'm lucky enough to have first met her many years ago - but time and distance stand between us. Hardly anything in life is constant. However, Orlaith’s weekly email communications became the most constant thing in my life. No matter where you are - your breathing slows as soon as you open her mails... you begin to be conscious of your breathing and heartbeat and no matter your mood - you smile. Thank you Orlaith - for being the constant in this consistently changing world.

"Fingal Mobile Library creche visits with Orlaith April 2022"

Orlaith did a series of workshops at creches we visited with the Fingal Mobile Libraries, during April 2022. Her workshops consisted of art, yoga and mindfulness with children at these creches. The sessions were very well received and we got great feedback from the staff who told us that the children all really enjoyed having Orlaith visit them. Orlaith was great to work with, everything was very straightforward and communication was very good. She is a lovely woman doing very good work. Highly recommended!

"Simply the best mindfulness teacher there is"

I've been very fortunate to have benefited from many of Orlaith’s classes, courses and retreats over the years. Whether it’s one-to-one mentoring or training in a group setting, each opportunity to work with Orlaith leaves me feeling refreshed, inspired and happy. She takes a rich tradition and makes it her own with a unique style of training - skilfully interweaving poetry, music, creative writing, neuroscience and more to make mindfulness accessible, inclusive, practical, highly interactive, and yes - fun. Orlaith’s teachings and mentorship have given me life long tools I can apply everyday that have been transformational. If you’re thinking of exploring mindfulness training in person, for your family or work colleagues - I would highly recommend you get in touch with Orlaith to find out the many ways she can help you.

"A super fun mindfulness training"

Orla's contagious laughter made the whole class super light and fun. Her extensive knowledge and passion in mindfulness oozed out of her as she guided us through the various practices we can use personally during our own teachings with our clients. She was patient, kind, understanding and embodies mindfulness herself which made it so easy to connect with her, and stay engaged through her sessions. Her support is constant and always welcomed, and I cant wait to meet her in person one day!

"Amazing experience!"

We engaged with Orlaith through lockdown. At a time when many people in our team were feeling isolated, alone and anxious. Our team is spread out over a number of countries and our weekly sessions made us feel whole again. It gave us a place to breathe and reset, and realise that we are not alone, that others are going through similar experiences.
I would highly recommend Orlaith's training for personal or work situations.
We have also used the teenage mindfulness sessions within my family with great results.
Don't underestimate the power of these sessions! As well as the time out taken for the session you will be left with life long tools to help you cope with different situations along the way.

"We have been practising mindfulness…"

We have been practising mindfulness with Orlaith as a family for several years now. Orlaiths depth of knowledge and gentle approach to teaching and guiding is refreshing and welcoming. I have also been a participant on many of Orlaiths courses, both in person and online - and have felt immediate benefits in my own general well-being and sense of balance in my life. Orlaith connects with each member of my family on their own level at the same time, this is her gift. The ease she generates for us all to practice together is immense. We continue to enjoy her meditations and deep relaxations on her website. Looking forward to being able to go to another course in person this year. :)
