Here's some words from past clients

I would like to thank Dee for all her help in the last few months. They’ve been tough and I’ve learnt how to breathe and take in what’s around me and appreciate what and who I am. I used to hyperventilate life, but the amazing walk and talks with Dee were a freedom I never thought I should have. Although I am still on my journey I know I have someone to help me when I need it, so from the bottom of my heart, a zillion times thank you. CY

Working with Deirdre helped me see how important I am to my family and those around me. She helped me turn negatives into positives and to start to feel good about myself again. Through our sessions I have now learned to apply new skill sets to my daily routines so that I am prepared and ready for the challenges that life brings. DMC

Had a super Sunday at Crafting Connections with Dee! The yin yoga session was paced really well, allowing everyone to enjoy it in their own way, with support and guidance. The tranquil setting really helped my mind to switch from busyness to calm. I was a bit nervous about the crafting element - I don't consider myself creative and I didn't know any of the other women there - but I thoroughly enjoyed it. We had great craic and very quickly felt really comfortable, all expertly facilitated by Dee. Highly recommend, on your own or with friends! Sinead Y

The Yin Yoga class with Dee left me lighter and calmer. I felt held for the entire experience and she taught me how to listen to my own body, what it is asking for and how to settle into the poses that best aided my body.

The crafting session was a gorgeous time spent with the loveliest of women. All sharing stories, laughter and joy while making something unique. Dee made us feel right at home in the beautiful Leitrim countryside. A true slow escape. Una

As a beginner to yoga Deirdre's class was very special. Hidden in the green of Leitrim, Deirdre’s place is captivating . I was introduced to Yin in the most gorgeous way. Deirdre’s ability to connect with people and share her knowledge in a very meaningful and spiritual way allowed me to feel and breathe in a new way. Orla

Yoga with Dee has given me a new optimism about my yoga practice. Up to now I have had a very on-off relationship with yoga – often in classes I am unsure of the poses, unsure of how far I should push myself. At yesterday’s class Dee’s instruction and explanations were so useful that I feel that this can be a turning point for me. Many of my questions were answered and I am much clearer on what I should be doing and how I can adjust the practice to suit me and my body. Fiona MaC

As you travel down the quiet, rural country lane to Dee's retreat, you know this experience will be special. If you are seeking time away from the busyness of life and the 'rat race', this wild, welcoming space in Leitrim will give you just that and more.

We started with a beautiful Yin Yoga class, where Dee brought us through gentle but deep movement that nourishes your entire body. Her soft, reassuring tone of voice guided us through breathwork and movement for 2 hours ending in a room full of warm blankets, eye pillows and all of the comfort you can imagine. Dee ensures everyone feels safe and comfortable suggesting a cushion here or a block there whenever she observes that someone may need a little support. You are fully held by her attention and she works hard to ensure every position she suggests is right for the individual. This is the beauty of the smaller numbers she brings to her retreats, everyone is given one on one attention. After Yoga we moved to the main house and had a tasty, nourishing lunch of soup, bread and pastries. The craft section consisted of us all using our imagination to sculpt jewellery, decorations etc. out of Femo putty. We laughed and laughed at each other's attempts to shape Xmas trees and earrings, but we all went home with a colourful haul of pieces we had created ourselves. My haul of colorful hearts went down a treat at home and I will always look at them with joy in my own heart now. A reminder of a special day in a special place with special people. Caroline M

Dee's way of holding the space and checking in with the needs of the class was very calming and reassuring. She adapted the poses to individual needs and allowed space to feel whatever showed up without judgement. Looking forward to more
