A Heartfelt “Thank You”
“Thank you” - two small words that carry so much meaning.
To everyone who ventured out in the wind and rain to attend the very first Connecting Souls event, I am truly grateful. It was a pleasure meeting each and every one of you, and I was genuinely surprised at how quickly the evening flew by.
Our light-hearted Speed Connections table welcomed 12 guests, and the energy was wonderful. For future events, I’ll be creating smaller tables of six, allowing more time to relax, connect, and naturally mingle throughout the evening.
As your host, I had the opportunity to meet you all, though not as deeply as I would have liked. Next time, I’ll be joining in the Speed Connections myself - giving us all a chance to connect more personally.
A Little About Me
In the meantime, I’d love to share a little about who I am and the heart behind Connecting Souls.
I am, at my core, a healer. With over 25 years of experience as an intuitive holistic practitioner, I combine natural intuitive abilities with a deeply supportive and transformative approach to healing and personal growth.
My journey has been rich and diverse. I’m a proud mother of two adult sons and a grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren. From around the age of 28, I began attracting spiritually minded people into my life - opening the door to profound experiences of self-discovery, connection, and growth.
I have always felt called to support others. Over the years, this has led me to teach psychic development, facilitate healing and animal communication courses, and host engaging paranormal evenings - all designed to create inspiring spaces where curiosity, learning, and meaningful connection can flourish.
I’ve also owned a crystal shop and built a successful wholesale business specialising in silver crystal jewellery. These experiences deepened my lifelong connection to the spiritual world and strengthened my commitment to helping others explore their own path.
Before 2019, I regularly hosted Mind, Body & Spirit events, bringing communities together in celebration of holistic wellbeing.
The Vision Behind Connecting Souls
In today’s modern world, where social media often replaces genuine interaction, I felt guided - once again - to bring people back together in person. From that calling, Connecting Souls was born.
My vision is simple yet powerful: to create safe, welcoming spaces where people can connect - both socially and spiritually - share openly, grow authentically, and feel truly seen and understood.
I aim to build a community that gathers regularly in a relaxed, supportive environment, a space for connection, encouragement, and shared experiences along the journey of self-discovery.
Looking ahead, my hope is for Connecting Souls to grow organically across the UK and beyond, through like-minded hosts who resonate with this vision.
Together, we can create uplifting spaces where people feel a true sense of belonging, where genuine relationships are formed, and spiritual journeys are explored with openness and heart.
With warmth and gratitude,
