Our class with Ailsa is chock full of 'a-ha' moments for everyone.

I've been going to various yoga classes for decades and, all along I was sure I was moving through poses quite well. It turns out I wasn't engaging the right muscles anywhere near like I thought I was! And I'm not alone.

Our class with Ailsa is chock full of 'a-ha' moments for everyone. We learn to use muscles we didn't know we had! If you want to learn how to move efficiently, improve your posture, and repair old injuries, Our Celtic Hearth is where you'll find answers.

I have found her skill and her insights to be incredibly supportive and healing.

Over time, Ailsa has helped me to trust more and more how my own body serves as an important source of information. In striving to release painful 'hang-ups', to soften my rough, calloused soul-edges, and to become attuned to ever more gentle nuances of joy and happiness in my life, I have found her skill and her insights to be incredibly supportive and healing.

It is an on-going process for which I am increasingly grateful every day, as I see the effects not only in my own life but in the lives of those closest to me also.

It was an enjoyable experience, with beautiful music and much laughter.

Everything went fine at the dance class. I had no problem finding the studio, no problem finding a parking space and no problem accessing the dance floor, itself. The studio was visually beautiful and the dance floor was clean, spacious, uncluttered, and smooth.

Ailsa, our dance instructor, was friendly and offered a purposeful series of dance moves throughout the one-hour lesson. It was an enjoyable experience, with beautiful music and much laughter.

You, Declan, Maggie and Duncan have created an absolutely beautiful space for people to gather.

Thank you for greeting us yesterday when we arrived to set up and making sure we had everything we needed to to be comfortable in the space. We felt valued and cared for.

You, Declan, Maggie and Duncan have created an absolutely beautiful space for people to gather. The loft could not have been more perfect for our circle yesterday. The wooden arches are majestic and being held in their presence during our circle time was like being in a forest.

Visiting and walking through your space was one of admiration but being in the space for a circle allowed me to experience the beauty of what you all created at multiple levels with great reverence.

Everyone left at the end of the day having enjoyed their experience immensely.

This woman and her words of wisdom is opening me up to love me and teaching me to finally set boundaries with people in my life.

This woman and her words of wisdom is opening me up to love me and teaching me to finally set boundaries with people in my life. If you do not love yourself this is time you take the steps to loving you, any kind of abuse set boundaries any kind of disrespect set boundaries. Get what I am saying and start your journey being who God created you to be NOW!

I used to work late nights and miss out on important moments with my kids. Thanks to Selene, I’ve created a schedule that works for me and my business is thriving with less effort.

Before working with Selene, I was constantly overwhelmed, juggling too much, and felt disconnected from my business. Now, I have clarity, balance, and time for my family. I’ve fallen back in love with what I do!
