The Barefoot OT

My journey into mental health has felt like destiny, rooted in a desire to help others, influenced by witnessing childhood friends struggle and facing my own challenges with dyslexia in the eighties and nineties, before it was officially recognised in English schools.

Recognising my empathetic and calm nature, I ventured to Uganda as a teenager, where I taught and built, transforming my perspective on the world. There are countless approaches to mental health, each effective in different ways and suited to various individuals. My introduction to the additional healing element of Reiki came after my first degree. In India, I met my spiritual teacher, Baba Jay, whose guidance continues to illuminate my spiritual path and my connection to Shiva Shakti. Over the years, I have embraced the healing power available to me and now offer energy alignments at festivals, private events, and day events.

I provide corporate nature engagement days and collaborate with charities, CICs, and other healers to support those facing barriers to essential services. My one on one nature engagement sessions allow for personalised and meaningful work. Nature has always held a deep significance for me; it brings a sense of joy and calm. I learned that neglecting my time in nature adversely affected my mental health. Seeking help from traditional services, I often felt like an outsider, encountering long waiting lists and rigid categorisation. This realisation sparked the creation of my own healing system, giving rise to "The Barefoot OT."

Today, alongside my extensive experience in mental health and my deep connection to energy work, I am studying Druidry to explore further the benefits of nature and its connection to the spiritual realm. I understand that private services can be financially challenging, so I strive to keep my prices accessible. I welcome the opportunity for conscious exchanges of services or goods.
