My Story

When I was a little girl, my wonderful mother, Pamela, used to say to me “You have such healing hands”. If she had a headache, she would ask me to sooth the pain. “Better than any pills“ she would say. I didn’t really understand how I had helped, but was always very happy to do so. I couldn’t really explain the connection I felt with the Angelic Realms either. But somehow I just “knew”.
It’s strange then that the path that I am now on has taken so many years to present itself to me. But I do know that it has been worth the wait and that now there is no turning back.

My Mother - Pamela

My new spiritual journey began in April 2015. All my adult life, my passion has been singing and performing. I was taking part in a show at the Palace Theatre in Westcliff when, during the dress rehearsal, I had a nasty fall coming from the stage down into the auditorium and sustained a very painful leg injury. A friend of mine gave me a beautiful crystal to carry on me. It was blue and SPARKLED! so had to be good! “You don’t have to understand anything about it” she said “but carry it on you. It will help” I had no idea until then that she was a Crystal Healer.
Then, a few months later, for my birthday, she treated me to a meditation at the wonderful Crystal Tree in Leigh with Gareth Hughes – a true oracle in crystals and all things spiritual. I became instantly hooked and very soon realised I was on an exciting journey. The Crystal Tree, run by the lovely Tracy Munn and Louise Hamp, has rapidly become my second home and my ever expanding crystal collection (and decreasing bank balance!!) is due almost entirely to them.

In 2017 Gareth said he was going to run a brand new Crystal Healing course which would run for 12 months with intensive day long sessions every month and lots of homework. I was a very willing “guinea pig”.
Other areas of interest soon presented themselves to me. I began taking guided meditations for friends welcoming their feedback - which thankfully was very encouraging. I went on to qualify to practitioner level in Angelic Reiki with Tracy Munn, Rahanni with Gareth Hughes and Stephen Monk, and Pendragon Reiki with Kieron Morgan.
I was delighted to be able to add these amazing modalities to my list of healing therapies.

The summer house at the end of my garden, which had hitherto been a dumping ground, has now come into its own. I have transformed it into a beautiful healing space. Every brushstroke and last detail has been applied with love and care.
As a result of all this, in September 2018, I gave up my job to live my dream and start my business. Although a big step to take, another good friend of mine gave me these wise words of encouragement:
“The Universe will never push you - you have free will - but if you take that leap of faith, it will be there to catch you and carry you”
And so I’ve made that leap with joy, excitement and love.
I would love YOU to share this experience with me. Treat yourself to some “you time”.
