Are you grieving the loss of a life partner?
Let me guide you through your grief, helping you to embrace life again with a renewed sense of hope and the ability to live fully
When we lose our life partner, we often find ourselves adrift, grappling with a sense of identity and our place in the world…
Grief is traumatic
When we lose our life partner, we often find ourselves adrift, grappling with a sense of identity and our place in the world.
Within this immense loss, we also mourn the accompanying “deaths”: our envisioned future, the witness to our personal history. Our best friend, lover, and in some cases, co-parent. The one who cheered us on, offered unwavering support, and even called out our BS!
Navigating through this overwhelming experience may appear insurmountable, especially during the early stages when each day is a struggle to endure.
Healing with yoga
Yoga, as a somatic therapy, provides a pathway for reclaiming our bodies, honouring our intuitive pace in the healing process of trauma.
Just as trauma may have triggered instinctual survival responses, we can trust our bodies to heal and release trauma at a pace that ensures our safety.
Whilst we cannot change what has happened, we do have the power to shape how we live and move forward, constructing a new narrative around that pain.
By delving deeper, we can challenge long-held beliefs about ourselves and uncover the possibility that they may no longer hold true. We can shed layers that no longer serve us, rediscovering our authentic selves and embracing how this person will guide us on our journey ahead.
I’m Orla
A mom, certified Yogic Guide and
certified Grief Educator
Since becoming widowed in 2018, I’ve embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery and growth.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing transformative growth in others as they open their bodies and minds to new possibilities.
By using proven tools and techniques, I’ve helped people rediscover themselves and find their way forward.
I’m here because I understand how challenging it is to rebuild your life after loss, and sometimes, it’s even hard to summon the desire to do so. I know how profoundly it can change your perception of yourself and the world around you. Nothing can truly prepare you for it.
Through my own self-work, I’ve made discoveries that have driven me to show you that there is light, hope, and happiness waiting for you. I want to guide you and create a safe space where you can move towards your purpose and tap into your power.
Let’s embark on this journey together, and I’ll support you every step of the way.
