“My 4 years old boy had a connection straight away with Aurélie and got very comfortable with her presence, she listened to him, she was kind to us regarding my worries with the house mess. We all felt comfortable and happy around her and the result brought tears to us.”

FAQ:

Do you offer sessions outdoors or in-home?
Yes — both! Many families love the relaxed feel of an in-home session, especially because then we don’t have to rely on the weather being kind to us 🙂 But we can also meet in one of Dublin West’s beautiful parks.

Do you travel outside of Dublin West?
Absolutely. I serve all of Dublin and beyond!

Can we include our dog?
I’d love to! I’m happy to include your beloved pets, and I have many times!
