Bridget O'Donnell
Name: Bridget O'Donnell
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland
I am an NVC trainer and coach, I was certified in Australia by the Centre For NonViolent Communication (CNVC) USA. I recently moved from Australia to Scotland, and I now live and work in an Intentional Spiritual Community & Eco-village in Findhorn. I have been married for 30 years, and I am the mother of a gorgeous 30 year old son. I enjoy long distance hiking, beach walks & swims, creating sculptures and textiles, and I have been practicing Iyengar yoga for over 3 decades.
I am an ex-general and psychiatric registered nurse, with most of my psych. experience nursing mothers with post-partum psychosis and depression at both Glenside Hospital in Adelaide, and Monash Medical centre in Melbourne. I have been exploring various healing modalities since leaving the medical field in 1994, including Reiki, Touch for Health, Thai Yoga Massage, Family Constellations, Art Therapy, and Restorative Circles.
Since my first training in NVC in 2006, I have been furthering my exposure to this transformational work via inspirational trainers from Australia, America, Sweden, and Scotland.
I have been developing my empathy skills and supporting people to understand themselves and make positive changes in their lives for the past 10 years. I provide effective tools that not only help enhance relationships and support conflict resolution, they also have a positive impact on mental health.
I also design and create products to support people with their learning, including props and demonstration tools, as well as practice workbooks, jewellery, games and journals.
Currently I have a role within the Findhorn community as a Peacekeeper, and I am a member of the Conflict Resilience group and we are building a Conflict system following the guidelines of Dominic Barter's Restorative Circle work where conflict can be a pathway to connection.
I am facilitating group trainings here at Findhorn, practice groups, and offer coaching live or via Zoom.
