Craniosacral, Reiki Training, Shamanic Healing, Temenos Touch®, and Somatic Therapy in Rottingdean, Brighton
NEWS
Please note, I now only work in Rottingdean, near Brighton. I am available for appointments throughout December, but I will be out of the country from 2nd until 23rd January 2025.
Following the recent very successful constellations workshop with Julia Whittington, we are offering another on Sunday 2nd March 2025. Visit here for more information.
I have also recently received a professional certificate in Psychedelic Practice from the Psychedelic Education for Health Professionals. Whilst I am most certainly not encouraging people to use psychedelics illegally, I am working within a Harm Reduction and Integration Model (PHRI), recognising that many people are experimenting in psychedelic experiences at legal retreats overseas. I am therefore offering preparation sessions and also integration sessions on your return from such retreats. Visit my 'Psychedelic Preparation and Integration' page for more information.
What I Offer
Do you struggle with physical pain or disease?
Are you feeling stressed or anxious, or do you suffer from PTSD?
Are you impacted by the collective trauma of this world we are all living in?
Do you sometimes feel you don't know your place in the world or your purpose?
Do you feel you don't fit in with your family or societal 'norms'?
If you are working as a therapist or health practitioner of any sort, in any profession that involves close physical or mental contact with clients/patients, then do you notice that you are feeling tired, depressed, worn out, invaded?
If any of these apply to you, I would be delighted to assist you. My calling for the past 18 years has been to offer integrated, holistic, bespoke healthcare, involving the body-mind on a physical level and accessing the universal Consciousness or inforealm on an energetic level, using a wide variety of healing tools from different lineages. Around one third of my clients are medical/healing professionals, including doctors, nurses and psychotherapists as well as other bodywork therapists, who want a more integrated healthcare approach.
I work in a very hands-on somatic way, weaving together Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki, Shamanic Healing, Soul Retrieval, Constellations and other physical and energetic healing techniques as seems optimal for each individual, in an approach I call Temenos Touch. The underlying principal is always to get to the source of issues, dealing with causes, not just symptoms, so that real healing can take place.
Therapies and Treatments Available
Usui Reiki healing and training
Reiki, translated as universal life force energy, helps activate your own internal healing energy to release blockages that may have physical or emotional sources and which may be resulting in physical symptoms of all kinds, including low energy, depression, headaches, back pains, IBS, or feelings of being out of balance.
I find it to be particularly helpful for people who feel dissociated from their bodies, or for those suffering chronic illness or pain.
I only give Reiki attunements individually - that is training you how to use Reiki, first on yourself and then on others. I prefer to tailor the attunement to the experience and requirements of each individual.
Shamanic healing and Temenos Touch
Shamanic healing has the intent of empowering the client to heal themselves – to step into their potential and co-create their future path without being stuck in the stress and trauma of the past. The techniques I use are mainly those of the Q'ero of the Andes, Peru, taught within Alberto Villoldo's Four Winds training programme as well as being gleaned from my own numerous journeys to Peru.
Blocks holding people back could be entities, energetic attachments, psychic daggers or cords. I also work to release limiting beliefs and repeating patterns, often caused by trauma, or carried down the generations from the ancestors, genetic or karmic. The intention is always to assist you to live in a different way from this moment forwards, no matter how bad the past has been, and frequently involves the process of soul retrieval or perhaps a death and rebirth.
Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Therapy / Bodywork
Craniosacral therapy is a subtle yet profound healing form which assists the body’s natural capacity for self-repair, helping to release deeply held patterns resulting from physical or psychological trauma. It treats people and causes rather than symptoms and labelled conditions.
Somatic Therapy works to release us from living either in hyper vigilance (fight or flight) or frozen dissociation (tonic immobility).
Within a somatic bodywork session I may use a variety of breathing techniques, rattles, drums, holding points on the body and talking to body parts. Rocks may be placed to represent blocks, and family members or ancestors or partners (current or previous) may be called in to the room energetically, for release and resolution of longstanding issues or conditioning.
Personal Retreats and Deep Diving Shamanic Healing Intensives
George (Find out more here) and I offer deep diving exclusive, bespoke, residential intensives (24 or 48 hours) at our beautiful home in Rottingdean, just outside Brighton, East Sussex, for those who are ready to make profound, transformational changes in their lives. Often this involves working with our ancestral trauma, systemic trauma, limiting beliefs and societal conditioning.
Or come on a personal retreat, stay with us for one night, take some time for yourself to relax, walk in nature, and have one or more treatments on each of the two days you spend with us
Psychedelic Preparation And Integration
In the UK psychedelics and MDMA are still listed as Class A drugs, and I am not encouraging people to use these substances illegally. But I work within a Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration Model (PHRI), recognising that many people are experimenting with plant medicines, as well as manufactured drugs such as LSD, ketamine and MDMA.
Recognising this reality, I recently qualified with the Psychedelic Health Professional Network, completing a one year Professional Certificate in Psychedelic Practice. Click Here I offer preparation sessions for people who are intending to engage in a psychedelic experience at a legal retreat, for instance in Central or South America, Spain, Portugal or the Netherlands. I am also offering integration sessions on your return from such retreats.
Conscious Dying and Death & Rebirth within Life
If you or one of your loved ones is dying and would like healing before the spirit transitions, and/or assistance in taking the spirit to the light, two stages of work are possible.
One is during life and one is after the physical death. This can also be described as the work of the Psychopomp, the Death Doula or the Soul Midwife.
A similar process of death to the old ways and a rebirth in this physical body is possible if you are you at a point of major change in your life where you want to release your old beliefs and ties and way of being, to allow you to step into a new life. This could be brought about by a bereavement, a divorce, moving to a new country or any other major event.
It starts like conscious dying but then the rebirth uses the archetypes to bring in a map of what you would like to manifest in the future.
Celebrant Ceremonies including Weddings, Hand-fastings, Vow Renewals, Namings, Fire Ceremonies and Earth Offerings
I am trained as a celebrant for weddings, handfastings, vow renewals and namings. I also offer earth offerings (Despachos) if you have a new home, a new job, new land. Or coming of age/crone ceremonies to mark the passages between different stages of your life. All these rituals and ceremonies can be crafted to meet your specific spiritual beliefs and can be held inside or in nature. Full details of the bespoke and sacred ceremonies available can be found on my
Sacred Celebrations website.
