Pauline O’ Connor

Hello and welcome.

When asked to write a bio to introduce myself, I always struggle with how to begin. How do I cram all my life into a few sentences that is supposed to let you know who I am?

I have had many roles and responsibilities in my life. I have been an employee, an employer and have been self-employed. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, and grandmother. Perhaps it is in relationships that we learn most!   Life continues to be busy and rewarding with the ups and downs and occasionally, a sideways blow!

I am a Holistic Life and Wellness Guide.   I work with the WHOLE person.  Everything is connected, your mind, body, emotions, energy, creativity, spirit.   No part of you is separate.

I am an experienced Life coach. As well as my coaching skills,  I use various healing treatments, Indian Head Massage, Rahanni, Reiki, Art making, Meditation and Deep Relaxation.   Regardless of what type of session you book with me, I will bring all of who I am and my skills into the room, for you, for all of you.

Whether we are working together through conversation, creativity, relaxation or healing, my aim is always the same, to give you a safe supportive space to recharge, reconnect and move forward with the tools and the confidence you need.

My mind is creative and curious about life, and I love to continuously learn and explore. Having worked in Industry and the Corporate world for many years, where logic and science rule, I turned my learning and my career towards the “softer” elements of life. I immersed myself in personal development, coaching, training, facilitation, meditation, yoga, art, energy healing.

I have never lost my love for logic…. but we are not just logical beings. We are mostly ruled by our subconscious and our emotions, we strive to find meaning and purpose in life.  We want more peace of mind, more joy.

For the past 20 years I have worked in this field, coaching, training, and facilitating tens of hundreds of people, helping them find balance, clarity, and wellbeing. I have travelled all over Ireland and the UK with this work, but I am now settling into working more locally, here in Laois.

I have studied with IITD, ILI and CIT. I hold qualifications in Personal and Executive Coaching, Training Delivery and Evaluation, Leadership Coaching, Principles of Art Therapy, Meditation Coaching, Group Facilitation using the Arts,  Indian Head Massage, Hand Massage, Rahanni and Reiki.

You are never too old, too lost or too late to begin living fully.

All my one-to-one sessions are approximately one hour.  All are priced at €60 per session.

Workshops and group session are priced on an individual basis.

Because my work is holistic, concerning your body, mind, emotions, spirit, my clients often combine different therapies within sessions or extended sessions.
