 Aisling Sheils
My name is Aisling. I am a class rep. for Chestnut. I’m currently the owner/ operator of a family wellness centre where I teach baby massage, postnantal/ baby/ toddler/ kids yoga & facilitate a variety of family related classes & workshops. I’m also a kids/ teens counsellor but don’t practice. I now specialise in babies incl. prem babies & younger kids, both those with additional care needs & those without. I used to change career each decade but this one is the one. I ran a performing arts school, teaching all disciplines, directing & choreographing shows. I was a head gymnastics coach. And I have volunteered & worked with children with CHD & fatal illnesses for most of my life. I also fundraise regularly for a couple of charities. I’m an original E.T. baby, I attended the first North Dublin E.T. where my mum was principal for over 40 years, my first memory as a toddler is the older classes taking place in our living room while the prefabs were being built. I am still friends with my class mates from my E.T. school, some of whom I would consider my best friends over 25 years after leaving school. As we have just become part of this school’s community this year I think it would be lovely to be involved from the beginning of our time here, especially as the school grows. Thank you for your consideration!
