Who I am
I live in Bath with my family of two legs and 4 legs in the valley beneath Solisbury Hill. I am shamanic practitioner with a diverse background of training in cross cultural shamanism.
I have had an intense and kaleidoscopic journey that eventually resulted in a trip to sit in my first Shamanic circle in 1997, I was literally following a rainbow that guided me to magical Grimstone Manor in Dartmoor. When I managed to put aside my nervousness and ego and actually “arrive” I felt the drum resonating deep in my soul and I knew I was not there out of coincidence but re-visiting a lost landscape and one I fully belonged to. As with many healing disciplines, Shamanic training is a cathartic and self-healing process as well as a path to heal and help others. 
I was blessed to be held by teachers who worked with compassion and integrity as well as discipline throughout this process. What was intended as a journey of self-discovery morphed into an intent to learn how to apply this ancient wisdom for the benefit of others. My alliance with shamanism began, as I said, in 1997 when attended my first workshop with Manolo Cetina hosted by the Sacred Trust in Devon . I continued working with Manolo and the Mexican School ‘El Arte de Vivir a Propôsiito’ in their own Mexican environment. My work with Toltec shamanic methodologies and self-development took me to Mexico several times over the next few years.
At home I dived into the Foundation for Shamanic studies programmes facilitated by The Sacred Trust which lead me to undertake my Practioner Training with them. I began to establish my practice in Bath throughout the following months and years I pursued my exploration of spiritual healing traditions in Cuba under the tutelage of Emilio a renowned Babalawo in Havana becoming an ‘apprentice’ in the Santeria tradition . This was a powerful voyage into another culture and world of divination, herbal cures and alternative ways of interfacing with my ancestral teachers.
At home I was starting to establish a series Shamanic workshops both in Bath and Cumberland with my friend and gifted healer Lizzie Robinson-Griffin. Our experiences of working in the wilds of Cumberland and the lush valleys of Somerset reawakened me to the healing powers of nature and taught me how to deeply merge with Mother Earth and her allies. Much of my work is now based around communing and weaving with the spirits of nature, immersing myself in the elements both physically and spiritually.
I continue to practice at my home in Bath juggling all aspects of life. My training has encompassed: –
- Shamanic journeying,
- Soul Retrieval,
- Power animal Retrieval ,
- Shamanic Extraction medicine ,
- Shamanic counselling ,
- Psychopomp training ,
- Compassionate depossession training,
- Divination.
