For nearly 20 years, I've helped people relieve pain, restore balance, and reconnect with their bodies through a unique blend of structural bodywork, deep tissue massage, Thai therapy, visceral manipulation, shamanic practice, and intuitive energy work.
Every session is tailored to your needs. Whether on the massage couch or through my creative floor-based bodywork, I work with the whole person, body, mind and nervous system, to release deeply held tension, improve movement, and encourage lasting change. Two-hour sessions are recommended, allowing enough time for the body to soften, unwind, and integrate.
Over the years, I've worked with people of all ages, backgrounds, body types and life experiences. Whether you're living with persistent pain, recovering from stress or trauma, or simply seeking to feel more connected and at ease in yourself, you'll be welcomed into a safe, supportive space.
My approach brings together clinical knowledge, holistic bodywork and intuitive healing, creating sessions that are deeply grounding, restorative and often profoundly transformative. I also offer home visits and retreat-based treatments by arrangement.
Prices start at £75, £145, £250
I currently provide Massage & Bodywork sessions in two separate spaces in Brighton.

Current life regression therapy focuses on identifying, resolving, and clearing energetic imprints held in the body and energy field that arise from specific traumatic events. It is especially effective for addressing difficult or complex childhood memories involving abuse, physical, emotional, as well as patterns of neglect, abandonment, and abusive relationship dynamics. By guiding clients to safely access and reprocess these memories, the therapy helps integrate painful emotions and release trapped energy, supporting deep healing of shame, emptiness, and a fragmented sense of self. This approach provides a compassionate, trauma-informed framework for transforming longstanding wounds and restoring greater wholeness and resilience.
I have priced these sessions slightly lower to make them as affordable as possible, this work is so important for clearing childhood and adulthood trauma
Sessions are up to 2 hours and cost £130
Ongoing therapy every two weeks for 8 weeks receive a further discount.

During a Past Life Regression Therapy session, individuals can access past memories that may be linked to current life patterns and possible problems you may be facing.
Past Life Regression Therapy will allow you to access a past incarnation, through gentle hypnosis we can regress back to many re-incarnations so that you can explore the life with a view to help clear trauma that the soul may have taken with it into the next life. This can include addictions, deeply seated desires as well as destructive and negative cycles that can be influencing your present situation. By resolution, transformation and reframing, we can create huge shifts in our present experience of life
Sessions are 2.5 hours long, or thereabouts
Prices are £180 and £225.

Life Between Lives (LBL) spiritual regression, pioneered by Dr. Michael Newton, is a deep hypnotherapy technique that gently guides you into the spirit realm between incarnations to explore and understand your soul's larger journey, purpose, guiding beings, and karmic contracts. It offers profound insights and clarity about recurring life patterns and current challenges, facilitating emotional and spiritual healing by connecting you with your eternal self beyond the physical lifespan. Often undertaken after Past Life Regression (PLR), LBL provides a more expansive spiritual perspective and deeper understanding of why you are here.
These sessions last 4 hours, each session is recorder and manuscripts as well as recordings are provided!
Sessions cost £280
(You must have received at least one Past Life Regression Therapy session with me in order to receive Spiritual Regression / Life Between Life)

My shamanic practice is rooted in traditional training in Peru and Core Shamanism.
I work with established healing methods including Soul Retrieval, Power Retrieval, Shamanic Journeying, Psychopomp work, and Extraction, while allowing each session to unfold intuitively according to your individual needs.
Alongside my formal training, my own path into shamanism was guided through dreams, direct spiritual experience, and the lineage into which I was initiated, including the Alpaza family in the Pampamesayoq tradition.
These experiences continue to shape my practice with humility, respect, and deep reverence for the traditions from which they come.
Healing sessions are usually received lying down in a safe and relaxed environment. Through gentle trance states, drumming, intention, and energy work, we create the conditions for profound healing, helping to restore balance, release what no longer serves, and support the wellbeing of both body and mind.
For those who feel called to explore this path more deeply, I also offer guidance in the foundations of shamanic practice, including shamanic journeying, building relationships with compassionate spirit allies, and making sacred offerings. This teaching is offered on an individual basis and only when the time feels right, respecting each person's readiness and their own unfolding path.

Shamanic sessions are two and a half hours and cost from £150 to £175
Subsidised shorter sessions are available on request, only where possible.

Energy Clearing & Shamanic Extraction
As we move through life, we can carry the energetic imprint of difficult experiences, relationships, and prolonged stress. In many healing traditions these are described as thought forms, energetic attachments, or intrusive influences that may leave us feeling heavy, disconnected, emotionally overwhelmed, or lacking vitality.
These deeply intuitive sessions begin with an energetic assessment of your field. Through focused awareness, Tibetan Full Moon singing bowls, and channelled energy work, I work to identify areas of imbalance and support the restoration of a greater sense of clarity, balance, grounding, and inner harmony.
For deeper or more persistent energetic patterns, we may explore Shamanic Extraction, a traditional practice that may also include ritual where appropriate.
Many clients report feeling lighter, calmer, and more centred after a session, with benefits that continue to unfold over time.
I have also worked with clients experiencing long-standing issues, including one individual who reported complete relief from migraines they had experienced for over 20 years after a single session. While every person's experience is unique and outcomes cannot be guaranteed, profound shifts are possible.

More about Shamanism & how it can positively shift your reality
-
The shamanic journey is a remarkable visionary method for entering into another reality with discipline and purpose. Using classic drumming techniques to alter consciousness, participants will be introduced to the shamanic journey to awaken one's soul and dormant spiritual power. Travel outside of time and space into another reality and make contact with compassionate helping spirits, such as teachers and power animals, for personal wisdom and to gain knowledge to help create a better world.

Soul loss due to trauma—such as emotional pain and shock, accidents, long term illness, constant stress, overwork and even the loss of connection with nature—is a spiritual illness, recognized by shamans cross-culturally.
A missing soul portion can be thought of as part of a person's vitality and essence that they can no longer access, leaving them diminished and lacking in power. Soul retrieval is a classic shamanic method in which the practitioner, with the assistance of their helping spirits, makes a shamanic journey to locate and return any missing portions of a client's soul.

Shamanic extraction healing is a powerful practice for treating localised pain and illness resulting from spiritual factors, as well as clearing negative form forms. "The shaman works to remove things that interfere with the health of the body, such as spiritual intrusions, and extract them. This is not done through journeying. It's done through working here in the Middle World in an altered state of consciousness.

The Nine Breathings of Purification and the Tsa Lung movements—that can help you change your relationship to yourself, to others, and to the world.
focus on clearing and opening your energetic centers to allow the natural human qualities of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity to arise. When sadness releases, joy is able to arise. When anger releases, love becomes available. When prejudice releases, equanimity prevails. And when lack of kindness ceases, compassion is present. These practices, which focus the mind and breath together while performing specific body movements, will help you discover your inner wisdom and express your greatest potential.

FAQ

It all begins with you making the decision to take action. When you have decided or when you are very close, we would talk, I would listen. I may ask you to fill out a short form with your health and medical history. After assessing your background and intention, we will identify and agree on the key root cause that needs clearing. I prefer to focus on a clear intention, however it’s not always essential!
We will select a healing method that suits you and your beliefs, and agree on a date and time for the session. A small deposit is required to confirm your commitment. Sessions can be held in person or online via Zoom or another platform.

For regression therapy, I prefer people to commit to at least two sessions. However it is your choice. While the first session can be a very powerful experience, far greater and significant changes usually happen in the second session.
Why?
I feel this is due to the two souls coming together, becoming comfortable enough to truly let go, and to further explore things that we may not have had time to explore in the first session. Sometimes clients want to address too much too soon, this is avoided for the safety and best practice.
I make sure that you only deal with what you are ready to embody in your first session, that may be one or two subjects, incidents, they will require transforming, healing and reframing.
