I’ve been away from my holistic therapy business since March due to a lot going on in my personal life. I grew a special heart centred community business and life path from the ground upwards working with some incredible people over the 6 months I was operating 🙏😊

Truly I feel so grateful for everything I learnt personally and professionally in that time. But then suddenly I had to grieve my business and let go with a lot of acceptance and faith that all will be well and the next time I set up, will be for good in a new space held within nature 🌳 This time was immensely difficult but taught me a lot about faith, patience and trust 🙏 I’ve still been practicing for my family and I’ve been working on some new healing treatments that I will be incorporating into my therapeutic toolkit ❤

I will be offering Munay ki energy healing which is a Peruvian branch of healing, Munay ki means I love you and contains the energetics of the earth keepers, a very grounding and nurturing treatment 🌍

I will be offering tuning fork vibratory healing during reflexology , this beautiful relaxing treatment stimulates acupuncture points found in the feet and legs using vibrations that harmonise and clear connective tissue pathways of the body.

I will be specialising in closing the bones ceremonial massage in the not too distant future which is a very powerful deeply healing treatment for any women who has been through grief, trauma, divorce, child birth, loss, any experience that has opened you up emotionally, physically, mentally, this traditional Mexican ceremony literally closes a women's body using a cocooning method, sound and deep massage therapy to enable her to move through to the next stage of her life fully acknowledging her emotional process ❤
I will also be offering shamanic drum healing during some of my treatments too 💕

I’m so excited to bring all of this wonderful abundance to my existing and new clients! Watch this space for updates on when I will be open again and for new treatments and therapies that I will be offering. In deep love and gratitude, Alice xx

Days spent at the beginning of this year in deep gratitude for every person whom I have met since starting my holistic therapy business 🙏💜 so much wisdom from every soul.. from bee keeping knowledge, learning about making music, to learning about different medicinal plants and herbs 🌿 Conversations about nature, mind health, and the importance of our connection and our childrens connection to the healing land. Ive learnt about collaboration and how our intention can fuse magical energy into experiences, spaces and human hearts.💗.
Ive shared laughter, ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, authentic truths and deep moving conversations about spirituality and our true purpose and place. I’ve learnt about what it means to be part of a community and how to sustain life in an ecological village, together as one looking after people from all walks of life, all inclusive of everyone. I’ve shared cups of tea with beautiful hard working folk who leave me feeling inspired and nourished and them uplifted, free of pain and re-centred.
It’s a true honour to walk this natural health and healing pathway with beautiful people every day doing what I love and learning so much along the way 🙏 here’s to an expansive,compassionate, prosperous and joyful 2022. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜

Solar plexus invigorating turmeric chai tea-
This beautiful tea blend is perfect for these introspective wintery days. At the moment, as we collectively process deep emotions, I am finding It very useful to charge my solar plexus so I have a strong centre balance point to return to and keep me rooted within intuition and peace.
The solar plexus is an intricate plexus of nerves and it is our secondary brain. It responds to the stimulus of our lives and can very physically let us know when something isn’t right. That churning stomach can be a very useful guide to navigate challenging emotions. It can help us to understand ourselves and when we need to rest, recover, rejuvenate and restore ourselves with natural means.
Here, I have blended 500ml of water, a cinnamon stick, 3 piece of fresh organic turmeric root, some cracked black pepper ( to enhance the active anti inflammatory properties of the turmeric root) 3 pieces of fresh organic ginger, a pinch of fennel seeds ( to aid Agni- digestive fire) some cardamon pods and a small amount of cloves. I also added a teaspoon of raw natural honey from the local farm for some sweetness as this drink can be a little bitter. Bitter flavoured foods and drink are a wonderful soothing tonic for the stomach. When our centre point is happy, we can be sure to make positive steps in whatever direction we are choosing to take :)
With our stomach, our Agni is most active from sunrise until around 4pm, from then on it is on the decline and it is ideal to let the digestive system rest and to process stimulus, emotion and activity rather than food. This enables a much higher level of healing to occur within the body and mind.
In Ayurveda, this tea is great to warm through Vata body types and also stimulate the energetic system of Kapha. For Pitta, I would perhaps add some oat milk and reduce the amount of spices used so as to not aggravate the fiery nature of pitta.
I hope everyone is keeping well in these times, it really is important to nourish our systems and stay grounded in natural wisdom, truth, love and sunlight.
Blessings and peace x

I invite you to take a short walk outside. Sit for a while next to your favourite plant, tree or shrub. Take some deep slow breaths into your chest- this activates heart space sensory awareness- and just feel into this plant. Ask questions from your heart and allow yourself the stillness to receive the subtle wisdom that will come through. It may be something like, this plant has spikes on it and I feel it is a great protector, or the petals of this flower are soft and bright orange, this makes me feel gentle and uplifted. All of these things are the plants ways of communicating their creative intelligence straight to your sensory receptors, reminding us once again of our intricate, interwoven connection to the whole.
One of the most important dimensions of plant communication is the electromagnetic field. This Invisible informational field permeating space underlies all of these different messaging systems within the plant and in the environment beyond it. From the tips of the roots to the edges of the flowers, plants constantly communicate through the electromagnetic spectrum. This in turn translates into specific chemical messages that lead to a wide range of behavioural responses. Plants are complex electromagnetic generators and receivers, sensitive to the smallest signals in the air and earth, even those emitted by the human heart. As plants communicate within themselves and with other plant and animal species, is it too much to assume that they communicate with us as well- but have we forgotten how to listen?

Lately, i have been immersing myself into the plant kingdom and spending time in commune with nature. I feel too often we are asking, "what is this plant good for?" when instead we should be feeling into the essence of the plant and acknowledging the love, wisdom and information it contains and emanates. The gifts of the plant kingdom are felt through the heart space

After a full Ayurvedic consultation we will select the best herbal oil blend for your body type. This beautiful, lively oil by Tri dosha skin care range is perfectly formed for Kapha dominant body types.

The elements most dominant in Kapha are earth and water.

Kapha governs the structure of the body. It is the principle that holds the cells together and forms the muscle, fat, bone and sinews. The primary function of Kapha is protection.

Kapha types have a strong build and excellent stamina. Large soft eyes, smooth radiant skin and thick luscious hair are important Kapha characteristics. Those who are predominantly Kapha sleep soundly and have a great resilience to illness, they also have regular digestion due to a naturally strong earth element.
When Kapha builds to excess, weight gain, fluid retention, depression and allergies can manifest in the body.

Because of the naturally grounding nature of this body type, heaviness and sluggishness can become two main ways in which imbalance shows. This appears in our energy levels, reduction in the digestive fire, low mood and lack of enthusiasm to carry out lifes plans. This can often become harder to manage during the autumn and winter when the light is reduced bringing a darkness and heaviness that Kapha can struggle with. The earth and water elements are increased during this time.

Using a heated, uplifting, light, energising oil applied within a massage treatment will enliven and move stagnant energy. This can be a great antidote to the heavy energy Kapha body types may feel.

I would suggest a full ayurvedic body massage paying close attention to opening up and shifting energy blockages through the feet and hand reflexes to create a vibrant energy channel for Kapha body types to absorb naturally occuring energy around them. This will help to sustain throughout the tougher seasons.

To be aware and prepare throughout each of the seasonal changes can be a wonderful way to harmonise body, heart, mind and soul as one with nature and the natural cycles. We can connect to our needs much easier through viewing ourselves through this natural lense and prevent undesirable blockages and illness.

Get in touch for bookings and more information about Ayurveda and the treatments on offer :)

Vata body type.

One of the core seeds of my holistic health care business is to share natural wisdom as readily as it comes to me and to empower others to to access this wisdom and intuitively feel into this knowledge. We all have the power to be the healer within our own lives and a big part of humanity rising up and awakening is reclaiming our power and becoming aware of how we give our power away.

There is so much pressure to ‘have it all worked out’ so when I share I will be coming straight from the heart space and from exactly where I am at right now.

I have been guided by my intuition to take a fresh look at Ayurveda. My emotions have been erratic and I have been experiencing tension within and shooting pains along my joints and tendons. My hair has also become quite dry and I’ve had a nervous stomach. My body constitution is dominant with the element of air and in Ayurveda this is called Vata.
This has been the starting point for rebalancing myself.

Vata is one of the three energies in the Ayurvedic medicine system. Vata translates to 'that which moves'.
By its nature, it is one of the easiest energies to become out of balance. This is fortified by a fast paced world that places a lot of importance on moving and doing and not so much on stillness and being.

Air in excess becomes drying and can cause dry skin, thin hair, pain and cracking within the joints, fast fanatical thought processes and an aversion to cold climates. Those with excessive air element can struggle to gain weight and metabolise food very fast, sometimes preventing full absorption of nutrition.

With Vata dominant within your dosha it may seem you have immense stamina and a great flexibility in body, mind and emotion. Endless ideas and an ability to move and flow within many of life’s situations comes easily. This is certainly an attribute of Vata but it is also very easy for this energy to become heightened, excitement can quickly become anxiety and can crash down if not grounded properly with simple practices, nutrition and awareness within our day.

'I AM ROOTED DEEP IN THE EARTH' can be a good mantra for Vata. Stillness, meditation, slowing down and connecting to the earth are all very valuable tools to keep Vata balanced.

Food is our medicine and its interesting to observe our eating and drinking habits to see what they can tell us about our conditions. I have had to reduce coffee within my diet as coffee is unfortunately drying and also excites the adrenal glands. Two of Vata’s biggest contenders. I also eat fast which increases the in flow of air so slowing down and being mindful before during and after my meal makes a big difference on how the food enters my stomach and creates a stronger stomach earth element.

If we think about dryness its qualities are rough and light. Foods that are dense, oily, moistening and warming are all good energetics to follow when looking at balancing Vata. Sweet foods such as dates stabilise Vata after bursts of high powered energy and have a direct effect on the mind promoting contentment, calmness and love. The subtle essence of our immune system known as ‘Ojas’ is also nourished by sweet taste.

Good quality unfiltered oils such as coconut, avocado and olive are great for moistening the dry energetic of Vata. Sesame oil is also wonderful due to its sweet taste. Heated and applied to the skin in regular self massage is very soothing and grounding for Vata.

Lentils are calming to the stomach and have a neutralising effect on our digestion. Nut milks, cheese and dairy are pacifying due to their sweet and moistening nature but not to be consumed too cold as this can exacerbate Vata.

Limiting raw vegetables and salad is a good rule of thumb as they have a dry, cold nature and instead opting for cooked root vegetables such as parsnips, butternut squash, sweet potato and courgettes. If you think of the life of a root vegetable, it spends so much of its growing cycle underneath the soil. We can harness this energy and enhance our connection to our root centre and to the earth by including these in our diet.
Maximum nutrition is gained and we feel stable and nourished.

Two meals I really enjoy and help me no end are included in the pictures I have shared, they are:

Cinnamon spiced h**p milk porridge oats with cherries, plums, walnuts and dates. The cinnamon warms through my system and the porridge oats are very stabilising, grounding and nourishing. Cherries and plums are great fruits for Vata and also maintain hormone health and regulate melatonin enhancing the quality of our sleep.

Kitchari is a wonderful traditional Ayurvedic meal that is neutral in its digestive effect and cleanses the GI tract, the intestines and the bowels. It requires minimal energy for your body to assimilate the nutrients and is packed full of proteins and vitamins which greatly balance our digestive system, nervous system and the heart. It contains a high iron and calcium content which is strengthening for our bones, teeth and muscles.
I made 5 portions costing me £3 to make.

I know I am feeling better after applying ancient wisdom to my life and looking at myself through a fresh energetic lens.
Its so easy to get bogged down and think we are suffering from so many different unrelated conditions, but they are all related and through awareness, care and a simple healing intention we can know once again that the power house of our body is not against us, it is always wanting us to heal, flourish and thrive

I'm so excited to be introducing doTerra essential oils to my health care tool kit. It has been a long time in the making. During the past year I took part in several free essential oil classes with a wellness advocate in my area. These weekly classes helped me no end. I received such wisdom, support and kindness helping me to keep focused and aligned with my vision during difficult times.

I'm so grateful and to now share these beautiful oils with you all is a dream come true. doTerra means 'Gift of the earth' and each one is Certified Pure Tested Grade. This means they are so pure, you can ingest them carefully as a medicine with ongoing medical trials proving time and time again how natural medicine can help rebalance so many dis-eases and ailments from fibromyalgia, cancer, ME, chrons, IBS, acid reflux, diabetes, thyroid imbalance, tension, stress, depression, anxiety and so many more.
They are a must for any personal or family medicine cabinet.

Children resonate with natural medicine. I know of many women with children who struggle with their attention, focus and energy levels and they treat their children with doTERRA essential oils with such great success they swear by them. The sensory nature of the medicine really works with children and becomes a playful trigger into a calmer more balanced state helping them with so many difficulties. Likewise, it can help us adults to return to our inner child and in this modern world, it is essential we keep connecting to our joyfulness, playfulness, relaxation and fun. With over 40 ways to use each oil, the health care journey is ongoing and shows us interesting and exciting ways to interact with ourselves and with nature.

I will be using the oils in a person centred way, creating blends to suit your needs at the present moment and applying them in a number of ways during your treatment.

For more information please get in touch.

In love

Self help Tuesday.

As accessing health care can be scarce at present, I felt it was a good time to share information relating to common debilitating ailments and some self help material to ease the associated pains.

Today I am looking at relieving sciatic nerve pain and some potential causes for this. Understanding our pain can bring a feeling of control, reassurance and power over our health.

How i made sense of my pain is by looking at the meridian system. This is a way of looking at ourselves as a whole energetic channel. The meridians form a network that interconnects all parts of the body at a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

There is really only one meridian, but there are branches of this meridian that flow through each organ and system. This is how we can work out where our blockage is situated and what could be causing the disharmony.

Sciatic nerve pain is something that happens within my own body in a cycle. After a 4 year search looking at physical reasons to no avail, I observed my emotional responses and came to the conclusion it happens whenever I have prolonged fear and worry. Emotional responses store in our muscle memory.
The hips are one area that can become congested if this emotion isn’t processed healthily and released. This can create inflammation which presses on the sciatic nerve and can cause immense pain and mobility reduction.
The pelvic area is our roots to the earth and can relate to feelings of security, stability and grounding.

The sciatic nerve runs along the sacrum (base of the spine) into the piriformis muscle which is deep within the buttocks and along the back of the thigh. The branch then meets behind the knee and travels between the calf along the achilles tendon (the back of the foot/heel) and along the underside heel of the foot.
As shown in the diagram these areas are also part of the bladder meridian. The bladder meridian controls our water element. Each system contains all elements with a predominant element taking place. The water element has many functions physically but it also governs the flow of our emotions.
Tightness held within due to stressful situations creates like a dam, a blockage.

Lets look at a home solution with reflexology.
The second image shows the actual sciatic nerve running along the heel of our feet and the circle shows the nerve ending of our lower back and pelvic region.
Manipulation of these areas can release the trapped nerve and you may feel a warmth along the sciatic nerve.
This can be performed daily, safely.
If you have sciatic nerve or lower back pain, you will feel a gritty sensation and a tender pain along the reflex, this means you are on the correct bit.
From the base of the heel on the outer edge of the foot, press your finger/ thumb on and push upwards towards the sciatic nerve.
You will feel the grittiness pop a bit and this is good.
Observing our emotional cycle can be a very useful way of understanding ourselves and getting to the root of the problem. Then we can begin to see a true picture of our health, how we work and how to best calm our system and prevent a flare up of pain.
I also find reiki to be very effective pain relief for this type of ailment.
I hope you have found this useful in some way, for more information please get in touch.

In Love,

This weekend I took my therapies on the road to Lake Windermere to a wonderful woodland retreat. What can I say, WOW! something very special took place for so many in the ancient woodland there and i've returned home in a state of real rejeuvenation and peace.

The therapies were deep and intense and such incredible work was done by all to trust, allow, feel and move through those blockages, release them and to be born again in that moment as a person who no longer holds a painful story within. The space transforms again once we allow ourself to let go, we can then expand fully into a place of real love, relaxation and contentment.
It really is a beautiful, real process and to share that time with people is a great blessing. I am reminded every time of the power of people, of nature and of this work.

When we work energtically with the body as well as physically, we can really flush through and breathe out our old grief into a clear, open space and its there in that moment, for both therapist and client that great healing happens, defenses are dropped and we see how we are so supported by one another through this journey of life.

I really feel grateful to every person I met and the magical transformations that took place there. I am reminded that I am a student of this life and we are here each day to empty out, be vunerable and to learn from one another in balance, to give and to recieve.

For festival bookings please drop me a message

Bringing the life changing power of holistic therapy to people’s lives and to see their health and wellbeing improve is the most rewarding part of being a complementary health therapist.

Many imbalances can be realigned through deep relaxation and encouraging the body to naturally release toxin build up through stimulation of the meridian channels. This is done through different healing modalities and all are very safe, very effective and can truly restore your health and vitality. When we are given the time and space to really express what ails us and to explain what has lead us to this place of discomfort, it can be the first step to realigning with our true state of health. To feel heard is a healing power in itself.

I have found holistic therapy to be the most inclusive of all aspects of you; mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I accredit this to its natural origin and application, after all we are beings of nature and nature is what heals us and makes us feel whole again.

Holistic therapy can bring us back to a place of trust in ourselves and the healing powerhouse of our body. This sense of trust can completely renew you and accelerate healing in such a safe, enjoyable way. To trust is to be empowered and this can permeate into your whole life, as you then trust your decisions, thoughts and ideas confidently with the ability to move forward with much more ease, flow and well-being.

I have seen and felt the transformation of people from many walks of life and to work together to support you on your healing pathway in a way that is as unique as you, is an honour indeed. For any information about the treatments I offer, get in touch and I’m more than happy to provide some more information.


In love,

In Ayurveda and indeed many other holistic therapies, we are working together with the elements that make up our whole.

The elements are the foundations of our whole lives and for me, bringing that into my holistic therapy practice has been an essential and integral part of forming my identity and the feeling I want to create for others.

This is why every aspect of what I chose to have within this space has been inspired by and carefully selected for its medicinal properties. I have used wood, metal, fire, water, air, earth and ether in balance so you may feel the healing power of nature during your time here.

This copper bowl is one of my favourite pieces, I chose to use this as part of the foot cleansing ritual that is included with every treatment you receive. I feel it’s very important to become present within the space and to feel grounded upon entering the practice before we begin treatment.
By bringing awareness to our feet and nourishing them with water, pure essential oil and salts, we can instantly feel refreshed and connected to ourselves and the therapist.

I chose copper also for its naturally occurring antimicrobial properties making it a very clean metal to work with and it can also promote fast skin healing.

28/06/2021

Sourcing and providing the best quality, ethical, local products is a top priority for the holistic business I want to share with you.

I chose the beautiful company Cherizena Coffee to provide the Ayurvedic herbal tea blends for you to drink after your treatment. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the ladies at Cherizena today, it was wonderful and absolutely worth a visit.

Each of these carefully blended herbal teas harmonise and balance the elements of your body type or dosha as it is called in Ayurveda.
The three body types and the strongest elements are Kapha (water and earth) Vata (space and air) Pitta (fire and water). Most people are a blend of two with one dosha being more dominant. Sometimes people are tri doshic and are all three doshas in balance.

If, through many reasons our body is out of balance, an element may have become too strong or weak, this can make us susceptible to different discomfort and dis-ease. Understanding this about ourselves provides a tried and tested road map to work with our selves through simple practices with our food, herbal medicine, breath and movement.

I remember the first soothing, delicious tea I had was the Vata blend. These teas were shared with me at Tri-Dosha Ayurvedic school when learning these wonderful deeply therapeutic treatments with Sunita Passi and the fabulous group of women I had the pleasure of learning alongside.
Thank you Earth, for such nourishing natural medicine and the healing wisdom shared through open hearted people 🙏
