The birth of Phoenix Bee Healing is the coming together and blossoming of a life of spiritual exploration and journeying. My spiritual journey began with a profound sense of love for and deep sense of connection to Nature in childhood. This has always stayed with me. It is where I have always sought and found solace, meaning, clarity and belonging.

I took up Yoga in early adulthood. Daily Yoga and meditation practices have been the foundations of both my personal life and my work. I see them as 'maintenance' practices, as necessary to wellbeing as eating, sleeping and breathing. They are a way of life and a commitment to continued personal growth.

My spiritual philosophy is rooted in the Earth. I anchor myself in the turning Wheel of the Year, knowing deeply that we are beings of the elements - of Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirit far removed from the stressful and too-fast moving world we find ourselves inhabiting in these days we are living in. I take strength from finding myself in the changing energies of Mother Earth as we travel through each year.

The first Red Tent was held 15 years ago and I have been privileged to hold space for Circles of women since that time.

My Yoga teaching grew organically from decades of practice and I have been teaching now for almost 10 years, again to women.

After an intense few years of personal therapy through great changes in my life I am now qualified to offer therapy to others (Diploma in Yoga Therapy accredited by the British Council for Yoga Therapy) Even though I hold a qualification I believe that a therapeutic practice should be a lifelong commitment to personal growth. I continue to work with a mentor and am currently in the final stages of trauma certification so you can rest assured that as a therapy client you are safely and competently held.

Holding Sweat Lodges began after a few years of working as fire keeper at another lodge. I love the lodge process and the opportunity to work so closely with the elements is primal and healing. I am offering this experience now purely for women. I have found through years of Red Tents that the Circle of women is in itself a healing process, offering the opportunity for transcendent connection to Self, others and the Earth.

My work is a reflection of my belief in the power of women to work towards self-actualisation and transformation in their own lives with the right support. The guidance and help that I offer to you through my work provides a safe container for your own exploration and a vehicle for your own inner work towards whatever change you desire or need in your life. The healing path that I offer is a direct reflection of the healing I have found and integrated in myself through my personal journey. You can trust that all that I offer to others is entirely authentic and embodied.

Yoga classes, Red Tents and Somatic Therapy sessions are held in The Yoga Hut, near Nottingham a beautiful dedicated space. Sweat Lodges are held at Ransom Wood near Mansfield.
