Description
As of summer 2025 we need help with the creative and technical videography for a Somatic healing podcast and general help with the running of our home and garden.
Eilis and I are both trained holistic therapists with over 30 years of experience between us. Eilis, my partner is also a physiotherapist and yoga teacher who is especially interested in womens health. I am a composer and musician, I play guitar, other stringed instruments and percussion, and also work with music and sound in a healing capacity .We are both garden and nature lovers and before Covid ran a wellness centre overlooking the sea in Youghal, Co. Cork , near where we live. Here we and others taught Yoga , mindfulness and other healing therapies. We are also very into cooking and growing and sourcing local produce for our food. We are mostly vegetarian with the occasional organic and free range meat and fish. We live in a beautiful setting and near many places of wild beauty where the Blackwater river meets the sea.
Fergal also has composed for TV and radio including a documentary on the river Blackwater.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We would offer food and accommodation and a chance to learn from us in a casual way .
We can offer in a natural way, some gardening tips, cooking, holistic therapy skills, and lets see what happens. We are open to the magic of flow in how learning can take place on all levels but we are very busy with the lifestyle of two small children , work and house and gardening.

Help
My partner and I are looking for around 5 hours of help a day with general house and garden help for five days a week with weekends off. We are also looking for someone who might have photography, videography experience that would help us with a new Somatic healing project and podcast we're putting together. It would be great to have a nearly or fully English fluent speaker for this and amazing if they have their own podcast or have experience in setting one up . It would be a great way for the right person to learn a lot about this fascinating area also.
Weekends are off but we do request that if you stay around and eat with us that you help with the meals. There is also a connector bus stop 1km from our home if you want to take off and explore on these days .We have a 4 year old and almost two year old daughters called Aramae and Sofia Rose.
This would ideally suit someone who likes children, outdoors and doesn't mind physical work, gardening, cleaning and is also into wellness and holistic living .
The nature of our lives would mean no two days would be the same and you would help with the running of that day. Of course because you would be in our lives in such a close way, there has to be an easy rapport between us all for it to work and so we would do a zoom or equivalent beforehand to ensure its a good match for everyone. Thank you

Accommodation
We live on a beautiful acre site which we call Little Sanctuary. Your accommodation would be a comfortable single bed, in one of our cabins with a shower and toilet next door.
We have a fully kitted out kitchen/ living room in another cabin on site, next to a third cabin with a second bathroom toilet , which is where we sleep.. The acre banks on to a wild piece of land with a stream, one km from the Blackwater river near Youghal, Co.Cork and has a very magical feel to it. We live 1km from a small village called Clashmore which has a pub, shop etc.We are also very near Youghal and Dungarvan with lots of beachs nearby..
What else ...
We are happy to show you the local beautiful scenic sights on a quiet time.
We are 15mins from Youghal, 10 mins from Ardmore, 50 mins from Cork city, and 25 from Dungarvan.
