SACRED SPACE – about me
Hello, and welcome to the Holding Hand.
Born on the Wirral in Merseyside, I have been living in the mountains of west Wales since 1991. We came to create a sustainable and self-sufficient life, raising our own food on our 24 acre smallholding, where we farmed and raised our twin boys.
I have always had a strong spiritual life and been drawn to helping and healing others, beginning with person centred counselling before I was married, then I began training in spiritual healing when my twins were toddlers, before discovering shamanism and beginning to develop a deeper more engaged spiritual connection to nature. I spent four years training in Authentic Power Practice, studying emotions, mental processes and intuition and began running a “Soul circle” a women’s spiritual evelopment group in 2005.
Then in 2007 I undertook a Master’s degree in consciousness and transpersonal psychology, specialising in Sacred Sound and Transpersonal Education for Teen Well-Being. To learn more about this please – see Hara Willow Healing. After training as a transformational yoga teacher in India around the same time, I began researching the effects of sacred sound on well-being, and as a tool for deepening connection to the Divine. I have developed such a passion for chanting, toning, and mantra, and the use of sound as a vehicle for connection to the Divine, that I began to study and explore Sacred Sound from all different faith and traditions. I trained as a sound healer with the voice, and eventually as a tutor for the College of Sound Healing. This then became the heart of my work.
I performed my first wedding ceremony for my best friend in the 1990s and have facilitated many ceremonies of all sorts since that time. I particularly love to celebrate with ceremony the changing seasons of the year and of our lives. Ceremonies have been at the heart of my work since I was in my 20s and a huge part of healing as well all other parts of my ministry. I believe that when we are in ceremony we open ourselves to the presence of the Divine, within and without, in the non-physical as well as the material realms.
I now practice as an Interfaith minister, Shamanic Sound healer, Yogi, tutor and transpersonal psychologist. I have also spent a lot of time studying and exploring many faith paths and wisdom traditions, in particular Vedic and Buddhist practices, so I am very much an Interfaith practitioner.
My personal spiritual practice is rooted in the earth, the embodiment of the Divine Feminine, as well as true yoga, and Shamanism. I use sacred dance and drumming, prayer, poetry, time in nature, singing, chanting, toning and silence to bring balance, healing, harmony and peace to my own life. So I have many powerful and beautiful tools to support you in your life as well. With this background, in combination with years of counselling, transpersonal psychology research and healing, I have much to draw from in order to support you during some of the most important occasions in life.
