Bio | The Temple Room

In 2005 I trained as a massage therapist at Suffolk New College. Massage is one of the oldest forms of Bodywork. It's gift is that it offers such a direct way to alleviate pain and reduce stress. As more and more people arrived under my hands, I wanted to deepen my knowledge and so trained further, adding deep tissue massage, myofascial release, hot stone treatments, trigger point therapy and pregnancy massage into my client practice.

My work is deeply connected to spiritual practice. It is vocational, and my approach is always from a stance that your Body knows you best. I connect to individuals in a reverent and conscious way. The Temple Room is both a place and space where your Body and its authentic nature can be held and seen and witnessed as the sacred human you are.

At 20 years old, a deep calling to understand more about the nature of our physical body and spiritual self, led me to enroll on a two-year Clairvoyant and Healing Development Programme at London's College of Psychic Studies.

From there I went on to serve my local community, offering guidance, mediumship, and healing, within the Spiritualist Churches. However, a thirst to learn more about Earth-based spirituality, something that indigenous cultures are very rich in, but which my knowledge was lacking as a white woman, living in South East London, I made a conscious prayer to meet somebody who could guide and show me how to remember my own forgotten indigenous nature.

In 1995, after a series of vivid dreams I met a native american medicine elder and teacher. He was bringing his wisdom teachings and the living vision he was walking in his life to the UK. I knew I'd found my true North. This was such a profound meeting, and led to a decision to move to America to begin an apprenticeship with him.

It was a relationship that lasted 17 years. He was a genetic memorist and through his guidance I was able to wake up the genetic memories within my own forgotten ancestry of northern Europe, to learn about earth stewardship and how to come together within community so we can weave a different kind of humanity for the generations to come by healing ourselves and the environments around us.
