​It's been a delight to see all of the online posts about wild garlic this past month. We have been lucky enough to live near an abundance of it. I have certainly stocked up on wild garlic pesto!
It's devic energy (wild garlic, not the pesto) has attuned well with Shungite in a sense that it is highly protective. This strong plant gives courage in the face of adversity. There is still much anxiety and fear in the world because of Covid-19. The essence of wild garlic in my crystal grid is acknowledging that for some, these are difficult times in unknown waters but it will all be okay in the end. You are protected. 
Stay centered and grounded. I'm blessed that I can wonder through our local woods and breath in the scent of ramsons. Wild garlic contains  contains vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and copper. It is known to have antibiotic, 
antibacterial and possibly antiviral properties.
Mother nature certainly does deliver!
​Beltane Blessings.

I am now available for Distant Healing with Crystals and Reiki through Zoom. I can also give support with the Emotional Freedom Technique. Please contact me for further information.

'For some time now I have been working with Blue Goldstone. I find something mesmerizing about it. A place where I can lose myself in the tiny flecks of copper that mirror a solar system of stars. Stars of hope flickering brightly from the deep blue abysm. This pandemic seems unreal. The human psyche hasn't had to deal with a global coming together on this scale in my lifetime.
This is a gemstone of wisdom and science, it's assisting me to remember the light within the darkness and showing me to reach for the stars. Blue goldstone dives deep into the unconsciousness, working intuitively bringing the truth to the surface. All that has been hidden from mankind is starting to become clearer for those who are awakening. The throat chakra is opening and truths are coming to light. Unwanted energies are being deflected. Old thought forms are being released enabling for new ideas to be anchored and stabilized. CIB from 'The Mayan Oracle' perfectly demonstrates this.  A galactic conduit connected to grace, cosmic consciousness and interdimensional guides. I have been working with CIB for a couple of years now. It keeps coming back to me like a bloody boomerang! When I thought I was ready to move onto the next oracle card, reshuffled...low and behold good old CIB pops up again. 
CIB is a reminder to trust your inner knowing. To feel and act on inner guidance from spirit. To take the ferryman's staff (as above, so below) and declare 'I take my power.'  (Ariel Spilesbury & Michael Bryner, The Mayan Oracle', 2011). Never more do we need to take back our power from the daily illusions that are crumbling around us. What precious time we have now to meditate, feel gratitude for the simple things we have in our lives, eat well, choose wisely what we read and watch in the media and appreciate the people who are authentic in our lives.

So I finally did it! In early June I spent two days at Neal's Yard Remedies Covent Garden training in the well known organic facial.  After years of seeing the benefits of an Ayurvedic Face Massage or Indian Head Massage on my clients, I decided to add a little zest to it! I had already gained a qualification some time ago in a luxury facial diploma but I felt it lacked something.
The early warm summer months were spent delivering these treatments upon my guinea pig case studies. Thank you! You know who you are ;)) As usual, going back to my university days, I left everything to the last minute. I came back from an adventurous holiday in Cornwall and had to write up all of my case studies in a couple of days before heading off to work as a therapist at Beautiful Days Festival in Devon. My yearly pilgrim there. I did it though! My certificate was waiting for my on my return.
These products are truly nourishing, replenishing, rejuvenating...AMAZING! I have already started to see the benefits when using them. My clients walk away looking energized and refreshed.
