Greetings!

When I started drafting this newsletter there were still lots of lovely Autumn leaves on the trees, but now it is distinctly Wintery in the mornings. It's been a while since I last wrote to you so I've put everything into a bumper edition of my newsletter. I've kept the cheery Autumnal design!

I have been very busy teaching my Crystal Therapy courses and the Masterclasses and I've also finished the draft of my new book. It's at the proofing stage and I am excited to see it emerge from my laptop screen into tangible book form. Scroll down to find out more.

Bird Spirit Healing Workshop
Sunday 1st March
A beautiful little wren hopped around playfully on my windowsill, keeping its eye on me. This tiny bird felt like a message to focus on joy and optimism in life! Next day I had a chaffinch perched there, tapping at the window to get my attention. Finches are birds that encourage us to work with others.

I believe birds are Divine messengers and can bring us inspiration and healing. I love working with bird energies and it feels like time I shared the love of these beautiful allies with you again.

You'll be connecting with some of my favourite bird energies through story, visualisation and shamanic journeying and you'll also find your personal bird totem. You'll also work with feathers for healing. No previous experience is necessary. 50% deposit secures your place.

Crystal Tarot

This Masterclass is running again by popular demand. We will be exploring the way that the Tarot resonates with crystals, helping you to achieve a deeper understanding of the cards and accessing more of their healing potential. You can use your own Tarot deck for the day or borrow one of mine.
Messages from the Cosmos
Planetary and Personal Healing
with Starbrary Quartz
Here's a sneak preview of my new book! I've received a proof copy and I'm busy editing now.

For those who don't know I've been working with the Starbrary quartz crystals for the last couple of years. They help us to work harmoniously together and enable us to channel high vibrational healing for ourselves and the Earth. They carry encoded messages which I believe were designed to help us through this turbulent time of change on our Planet.

I'll be sending out a special newsletter in the New Year when the book is ready for ordering. Keep your eyes peeled! Meanwhile if you have a Starbrary quartz and want to join the live visualisations I run on Facebook you can contact me with a photo of your crystal and I will add you to the group.
