Welcome — I’m Emer O’Neill.

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I live in County Cork with my husband, two daughters, and our three cats. As a holistic creative therapist, my work supports individuals on a path of self-discovery, expression, and empowerment—both in person and online.

My approach is rooted in nature, mythology, psycho-spirituality, and inner wisdom. Through intuitive creativity, meditation, journaling, mindfulness, and self-reflection, I help you reconnect with your authentic self and uncover the quiet guidance within.

Alongside my therapeutic work, I create ocean energy jewellery and art talismans—each piece infused with the raw beauty of the sea and the land. Every creation carries intention, symbolism, and a touch of the natural world’s magic.

Whether you’re seeking creative support or a meaningful, handcrafted piece to accompany your own journey, you are warmly welcome here. Thank you for visiting and for being part of this unfolding path.

Adult Workshop

Was a lovely class. Emer has a beautiful calm presence that puts you at ease. She creates a space where you feel safe to explore your own creativity without judgement and if you are someone like me, with little experience with being "creative" or working with paints, then Emers workshops are definitely worth a try.

I recently completed the 8 week art journaling workshop, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Emer is a warm and supportive facilitator, with wonderful themes and prompts for the sessions. She also creates beautiful artwork herself and gives great practical advice. I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic lady. Such a fantastic service for my children and for me too. I did an 8 week mindfulness creative art course. I enjoyed every minute. Can't recommend enough. ♥️

Online Guidance

It's more than sketching or painting, it's about making space, time and energy to be more creative. It's an adventure a discovery of your self, your cycles with lots of guidance, videos and audios.
I Love the workbook, gets you down to the nitty gritty. Bonus now all modules are Audio files. Great for a recap. There is no time restriction which is great, you can do this fabulous course at your own pace.

Emer runs an excellent art and craft workshop for children . My daughter really enjoyed herself at Emers Christmas workshop, grateful to Emer for providing children in the locality with a lovely opportunity to be creative through arts and crafts. It is nice to be able access extra curricular activities locally.

Rewilding our Creativity

Our creativity is not separate from nature—it is woven into the great cycles of the earth, the turning of the seasons, and the ancient rhythms that pulse through us all, through all living things in fact. Just as the moon pulls the tides and the trees surrender to autumn’s release, our creative energy rises, falls, and renews in harmony with the world around us. When we honour these natural rhythms, we unlock a deeper well of inspiration—one rooted in the wisdom of the land. Creativity is not something we force; it is something we listen to, nurture, and allow to unfold, like spring’s first blossom or winter’s stillness.
