Aoife was truly exceptional in her approach, engaging with the children in a hands-on and interactive manner that immediately resonated with the children. They connected with her effortlessly and it was evident that she genuinely cared about their well-being and growth. She brought wonderful resources that the children loved, making the experience both fun and meaningful. Her kindness, patience and fabulous rapport, created a warm, supportive environment where the children felt comfortable and inspired. A few days after, we made some of her resources ourselves to recreate the experience. I highly recommend Aofe for anyone looking for a compassionate and creative professional to work with children. Her ability to combine mindfulness techniques with creative activities was very successful.

Huge thanks to Aoife of Your Joyful Self for doing a wonderful session on well-being with the Junior and Senior Infants today. We learned how important breathing is to well-being. We also played listening games, used a sensory jar and did art & craft while relaxing to music! Everyone enjoyed the session and brought the breathing buddy they made home!!

The mindfulness session was a wonderful addition to our day! Aoife was very engaging and the children really enjoyed it. The children responded well to the calm and gentle activities, especially the breathing exercises and the story. They completed an art activity at the end of the session, which was a tool to help them practice mindfulness at home. The children all really enjoyed this. The session was age-appropriate, engaging and introduced valuable mindfulness tools in a fun and accessible way. We look forward to including more mindfulness moments in our routine! Thank you Aoife!
