Orla has the gift of writing simple and direct and by this practice, she really radiates light and opens hearts. She embodies the simple word that is often at the wall in an online meeting: smile.
I enjoyed her poem session for the charter of compassion. Very interesting. Just what I needed.
She invites me to explore what is so touching, revealing in this poetry practice. Maybe this poetry invites my mind to remember?

A truly wonderful day spent with beautiful ladies and led by the amazing Orlaith. She is truly gifted in holding space, her words of wisdom and support much appreciated and her soothing voice brought a real sense of joy and peace to my heart. I felt seen and heard. Thank you so much Orlaith 🙏💖🙏

Orlaith is an incredible gifted teacher. Her ability to focus the mind on where we need to be now is amazing. I have seen her in three different companies and the impact has been immediate and helped enormously with the usual daily pressure and especially important where massive transformations are happening.

I’m not sure why I was putting off booking this retreat, maybe nerves about meeting new people, or bringing up emotions after a tricky couple of years.

I really shouldn’t have worried, as Orlaith, along with every person present, were all so welcoming and understanding. Between the listening, sharing, the lessons learned, the relaxation, mediation and the fun and laughter, I will treasure the memories of that day my whole life long.

I had previously connected with Orlaith through Insight Timer as well as her online course. Orlaith’s voice is so calming and her meditations very easy to access, even to beginners.

Orlaith, the seeds planted on the retreat day are already poking their head above the ground, I’m so very grateful.

What a fantastic day spent with Orlaith today In the beautiful surroundings of Co Meath I found the peace and calm that I so badly needed. Orlaith provided a space for the group to feel safe in the presence of strangers who by the end of the day felt more like friends. This is my 3rd retreat with Orlaith all of them teaching me something different she has a wealth of knowledge that she imparts to the group with such kindness .We spent the day connecting laughing (Orlaith could have been a comedian)and just being and it was just what I needed. I would highly recommend spending the day/half day with Orlaith this would be a gift to yourself 💕Emma Maclean

No matter how far away you are from your true self , no matter how frazzled or lonely,come into Orlaith s presence and you will find deep and loving spaces in your own heart through her incredible kind and wise leadership, and lots of fun too.

Wonderful Mindfulness Session done by Orlaith! We organised it as part of our Wellness programme for the colleagues on site - very relaxing and enlightening. Highly recommended!

The session with Orlaith was one of the best corporate sessions I have ever had. Her energy was infectious but also so welcoming and she made the team feel comfortable regardless of their experience level with guided meditation. It was the highlight of our team away day and I couldn't recommend highly enough - thank you Orlaith.

Orlaith holds a lovely safe space, filled with wisdom and laughter. Her understanding of mindfulness practice is deep and assured, and she shares this in an easy way which is at once playful and transformative. I feel nourished after the day we shared as a group, and my perspective is widened with new ideas and possibilities to reflect on. At the same time beautifully light hearted and profound.

Orlaith comes across as a well grounded, compassionate, sincere, mature human being. She enlivened her course with humour, kindness and love.
I really enjoyed the meditations. One small criticism is that I found 2 hours a but long. 90 minutes might be better. Thank you Orlaith.

Orlaith’s voice soothes the Soul. The Gentleness and Joy she brings to her workshops makes for a truly lovely experience. I came away feeling Calm and at Peace. Thank you 🌹

I have been meditating with Orlaith for many years now. Sometimes, a little time goes by when I haven't and every time I come back to a session with her, or sign up for a course the same thought comes to mind within the first few seconds... Orlaith once again you have saved me´.

Thank you Orlaith for showing up and being just who you are, and for giving me permission to meet you just where I am.
I also love receiving Orlaiths Sunday email with beautiful soulful awakening words to aid us in the week ahead.
Orlaith, you are a gift.

An exceptional morning.
I have had the joy of doing a few retreats with Orlaith and every time I come away with a sense of wonder, healing and feeling deeply nourished.
As someone who just didn’t “get” poetry, I am very grateful to Orlaith for helping me open this door in a fun and meaningful way.

Orlaith led the group with kindness and compassion. I felt soothed and comforted as she mindfully read poetry and shared with us all.

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!

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 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.

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.

Thank you Orlaith for a restful peace first experience of mindfulness and peotry

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!
