About me
I’ve worked as Head of Welfare (Wellbeing - counsellor) for an international arts college in the centre of Cambridge. My link with the Creative Arts has always been extremely strong. I trained as a professional actor at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts 1981-84 and spent sixteen successful years as a professional actor, writer, and director.
When I moved up to Cambridge in 2000, I joined my wife Amanda, as one of the Artistic Directors of Public Arena Children’s Theatre Workshop. As well as running drama classes for young people, I devised and facilitated many creative workshops for different groups in the community.
I have been interacting with spirit since I was young, and it was because of these experiences I went down the route of wanting to heal myself and others. Since the 1990s, I have trained in several holistic healing therapies such as massage, reflexology, colour therapy, spiritual healing, becoming a Reiki Master and the Sacred Trust’s Three year, Shamanic practitioner course.
I work as a Shamanic Practitioner, and run Cambridge Core Shamanism training Centre (Courses and workshops) trained as a Druid with OBOD and am a member of the Corr Reisc Cambridge Druid Grove. I run monthly Journey and Drumming Circles. Teaching is a real honour and privilege and I have created new courses for people who wish to explore themselves spiritually but not necessarily follow the shaman’s path. I am a trained counsellor and run a psychospiritual counselling practice alongside my other work.
I am proud to have IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine) underwriting my courses. I am fully insured and have over twenty years of teaching experience. I am happily married, have three lovely children and a cat.
I have written three books on the Ogam Tree energies, The Beginners Book of Ogam Tree Healing, The Spirit of the Wand, and Ogam Magic. All are available on Amazon Books.
I have also written two books of short stories available on Amazon Books: The Way of the World, and, a little of what you fancy.
Shamanic Healing Explained
Shamans have the view that all illnesses have a spiritual cause which is expressed in physical manifestation. They access the client’s health, by checking in with their sacred balance of mind, body and spirit and relates not only to their internal health (relationship to self) but also to their external health (relationship to others and the world around them).
Shamans will track the symptom (which is how modern western medicine see illness), to its source. This is usually based in some sort of trauma that the client has experienced. This trauma energetically imprints that person and if left unattended can develop into emotional, physical, or mental conditions. So simply put, shamans heal the spiritual origin of illness, so that the imprint of trauma can no longer inform the reality or health, and the client can return to a state of grace.
Most shamanic healing focuses on the following aspects: Power loss, Soul loss, Intrusions, Spirit release work, Ancestral work, Cutting ties, House/land cleansing/ healing and Blessings. Shamanism is a path that gives you direct spiritual revelation and autonomy. It is possible to gain a spiritual toolkit that will serve you for the rest of your life and to come into your own personal power.
Shamanic healing can help with:
- Confidence loss/ power loss
- Experience of trauma, recent or past
- Dealing with depression
- Lack of focus or clarity
- Grief, loss, or bereavement
- Negative thoughts
- Life transition or change
- A feeling something is lost or missing
- A sense that energy or entity attachments are present
- Relationship difficulties
- Unwanted addictions or compulsions
- Experiencing inexplicable bad luck (as if you have been cursed)
Specific Shamanic Healing
Please contact me to discuss your specific situation. Please note, that whilst you may wish to be healing specific, there may be times when a combination of healing techniques is used. Healing may take place either at my studio, yours, or as distant healing.
Distant Healing
Sometimes it is more beneficial for both client and shaman to work across distance. A time is agreed upon by both client and practitioner. Contact will be made after the session to discuss what transpired during the healing and compare notes.
Healings offered include:
- Soul Retrieval/Power Loss
- Spirit Intrusion/Extraction Work
- Psychopomp/ Spirit/Energy Release
- Ancestral Healing
- House Cleansing/Land Blessing
- Divination
- Protection/Power song/Power Animal Retrieval
- Shamanic Journey Work on behalf of the Client (Spiritual Guidance)
Shamanism connects us to vast amounts of power, and it is not always for us to determine what the outcome of a scenario be. When contemplating asking healing for others, permission should always be sought from the individual. If this person is under 18 years of age, permission should be sort but also if, in a position where they can't give it, parental permission would be considered.
We work for personal empowerment and for the highest good of all concerned. We do not seek power over others but for life to be lived with integrity and balance. It is by working with integrity that we are brought into our personal power and into a stronger relationship with the spirits. If we misuse or corrupt this relationship, we will find the spirits withdrawing their aid.
