Dip F.S. / FFSA / Dip. Shamanic Healing
I was born of Irish / Welsh parentage growing up in the wilds of Wales and Shropshire, where my love of nature and the mysteries of life were first nutured. Always a non conformist to the safe options of the world I spent my formative years developing my creative talents as an artist. I went to art school and then on to become a graphic designer in the media and entertainment industries.
Early in the 1970's I discovered the Eastern belief systems of the Chinese - Taoism and Japanese - Macrobiotics, along with Western mysteries like, Celtic Shamanism and Mythology. A near death experience in the mid 70's shook me up and my real journey of exploring and working with the ancient arts began. I began to learn and understand how to use, heal and balance energy in attunement with the universal life force. I was my main guinea pig and I had an amazing time of discovery and practise.
In 1990 I came across the concepts of Feng Shui and did a course with William Spear. It wasn't until I met Harrison Kyng in 1994 that my Feng Shui interest really found heart and direction. The uniqueness of the Shen Dao style helped me access an incredible way of working with the mysteries of nature, encompassing many wonderful teachings such as the chinese 5 element system, Tibetan, Native American and Shamanism. It kindled a passion and skill for energy work.
Following my Shen Dao training I did a 2 year course in shamanic healing with the Shamanka school in Dorset, run by Eliana Harvey. I then went on to do a Aztec / Mayan branch of shamanic work called Curanderismo, spread over 4 years, with Elena Avila, based in New Mexico, USA. I've also done lots of little one day and weekend workshops over the years with some wonderful inspiring people like Stuart Wilde, Malka Golden Wolf, Denise Linn, Sandra Ingerman and many more than my senior memory can now recall.
I've been working as a Feng Shui Consultant since the mid 1990's and have a large, diverse client base. I have intergrated my Shamanic work into my Feng Shui Consultations, helping to transform and heal living and working spaces as well as those who inhabit them. Over the past 2 years I have been doing seperate Shamanic healing consultations and work too.
I am in training to include psychic animal communication to my repertoire. I have begun working with the reknowed American Animal Communicator, Amelia Kinkade. Although there are many human atrocities going on in our world, I feel that animals also deserve a equal respect and say about their lives. They need people to stand up for them as well. They suffer greatly from lack of care, understanding and consideration. I aim to be a part of their liberation by being able to translate and communicate what they have to tell us to make their lives better. They are our supreme teachers of unconditional love.
I contribute regularly to Spirit & Destiny Magazine.
I've written many Part Works on Feng Shui.
I am currently writing a book about empowering yourself through Shamanic work.
I consider myself an Energy artist.
I am passionate about what I do. I love using my skills to help bring balance and harmony to someone's life, environment and where ever possible the world at large.
I also believe that a little chaos in ones life is not a bad thing. As Nietzsche once wrote: "You have to have chaos to give birth to a dancing star".
Understanding how to keep in tune with the natural way known as The Tao, applying the wisdoms handed over through generations and different cultures, can make the difference between enjoying or being overwhelmed by life.
Calm the struggle and Get with the flow.
