Animal Spirit Guide Readings & Reiki Light Healing with shamanic heart drum

There are times in life when we feel lost from ourselves.

Disconnected from our body.

Overwhelmed by noise, expectation, or old stories.
This is where I work.

Through animal spirit guidance, Reiki light healing, and the grounding rhythm of the shamani heart drum, we gently open a space for your nervous system to soften and your inner wisdom to speak
Animals come forward with messages of instinct, resilience, and truth.

Reiki supports the body back into balance.

The drum steadies the mind and anchors you into the earth.

These sessions are not about escape.
They are about returning to clarity, to presence, to your own inner guidance.

If you feel called to reconnect with yourself in a deeper, steadier way, I invite you to book a session.
Come as you are.
Your body already knows the way.

Online and in person Northallerton, North yorkshire uk.

Nature’s Natural Reflectors.

For me finding these leaves gave me a new line of enquiry to feeling into a solution away from the fear based mind to a call to action instead

In my writing workshops, nature is not a backdrop to a view, it is a direct mirror to answer our questions. I share with you how to read these mirrors.

When our nervous system feels unsettled, it is often asking for attention, not fixing. By stepping outside and truly noticing, we begin to see reflections of our inner world in the natural one.

A single leaf can become a guide.

Hold it in your hand, feel its texture, notice how you feel what thoughts, imagery or nemories show up, turn it over and you’ll see the veins branching in many directions each one rooted from the same stem a quiet reminder that we, too, have choices.

That beneath the surface of any situation, there are multiple paths supported by an inner knowing.

The shifting seasons remind us that nothing is permanent everything renews.

In our time together, we slow down, notice what draws our attention, and write from there. The words that rise often bring clarity to whatever crossroads we are facing.

Nature does not shout It reflects so when we listen our awareness grows.

If you find a leaf or maybe more ask your question and see what springs to mind or bring your leaf or image to a workshop for more clarity.

If distance is a barrier i offer an email service please ask. 🙏

“Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although normal, their inner world is naturally mysterious to others. Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.” ~ Criss Jami

Enjoy some quiet time.

What Makes These Nature Walks and Writing Workshops Different.

My walks & workshops are designed with a clear understanding of emotional overwhelm in both children and adults.

They are not simply outdoor activities they are carefully held spaces that support emotional regulation, sensory awareness, and clearer thinking.

Here are the five core elements that shape what is offered.

1. Lived and Professional Understanding of Emotional Distress.
My work is trauma informed by both lived experience and professional awareness of emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and dysregulated thinking.
This means the space is not reactive or dismissive of big feelings. It is grounded and trauma-aware. Children and parents are met with understanding rather than judgement.

2. Nature as a regulating mirror.
Nature is not used as entertainment instead is intentionally used as a calming and co-regulating environment.
Natural spaces reduce sensory overload, lower pressure, and support the nervous system to settle without bright lights, confined rooms, or constant instruction, where families can begin to slow down naturally.

3. Sensory and Somatic Awareness
We are gently guided to notice what is happening in our bodies breathing, posture, sound, touch, taste and movement. This builds body awareness (somatic awareness), which is essential for emotional regulation.
When children and adults feel safer in their bodies, their thinking becomes clearer and their reactions soften.

4. Writing as a Gentle Integration
Writing is offered as a reflective tool, not an academic task. It allows both parents and children to process what they notice and feel in a simple, pressure-free way.
This supports emotional expression and helps organise thoughts without overwhelm.

5. Clear Boundaries with Emotional Safety
The space is grounded and contained. It is not chaotic or unstructured.
There are clear boundaries that create safety, while still allowing freedom of expression. This balance helps families experience regulated freedom & the ability to be themselves within a secure environment.

In Summary my workshops offer.

A calm, low-pressure environment
Support for emotional regulation
Practical sensory awareness tools
A safe space for expression
Shared experiences that strengthen parent-child connection

In a world that often feels overstimulating and demanding, my work provides something simple but powerful.

I invite the opportunity for families to slow down, feel safe in their bodies, and return to clearer presence together.

Hot drinks and home made scones to relax into.
10am to 4pm ( 2 hour slots)
Families from £12 please ask

Take back the Reins

I am the fire horse. I feel the ground beneath my hooves, restless, untamed, alive.

Do not wait for me to approve you I do not wait for others.

Your voice, your knowing, your movement they are yours. Claim them.

Not everyone will see or hear you. That is not your burden.

Step fully and softly without asking permission.

Ground yourself. Breathe. Trust. Move.

Welcome to the year of the Fire Horse
