Since the 1990s, I have trained in several holistic healing therapies including the Sacred Trust’s three-year, Shamanic practitioner course.
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.

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.

We also run a monthly Journey Circle:
During the monthly drum journeying session, we will lie down comfortably, and use our breath, will and imagination to let the drum shift our brain waves into the theta state.
This is the vehicle upon which we can journey to receive guidance and wisdom from our helping allies, spirits, and ancestors.
We aim to receive clarity and understanding, guidance and support to enable us to live our lives as the spiritual beings we are.
