As a certified Yogic Guide and Grief Educator, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her work. Inspired by her own personal journey of widowhood, Orla is deeply committed to helping others navigate through the challenges of grief and loss. With a gentle and nurturing approach, she empowers her clients to embrace their grief, heal their bodies and minds, and find a renewed sense of hope and purpose.
Orla believes in the transformative power of yoga as a somatic therapy for healing trauma. Through the gentle and intentional practise of yoga, individuals can reclaim their bodies and honour their intuitive pace in the healing process. Orla guides her clients to trust their bodies to release trauma at a pace that ensures their safety and well-being. She helps them challenge long-held beliefs about themselves, shedding layers that no longer serve them and rediscovering their authentic selves.
In addition to her yoga instruction, Orla provides personalised support through one-on-one sessions and community initiatives. Through her membership programme, she offers a nurturing and supportive community where individuals can move, meditate, and discuss their grief with others who understand their experience. She also offers individual coaching sessions, working closely with clients to address their specific needs and provide tailored support throughout their healing journey.
For those located in the Sutton Coldfield area in the UK, Orla hosts live healing yoga and meditation sessions every two weeks. These intimate group sessions create a safe and healing space for participants to connect with their bodies and find solace and peace.
Orla's ultimate goal is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can embrace their grief, reconnect with themselves, and tap into their inner power. She is dedicated to guiding her clients through their grief journey, providing them with the tools and support they need to rebuild their lives, find hope, and ultimately thrive.
