The Secret Healer LTD

About

Artist, writer, medium, and listener

I live and work on Fish Island in Hackney Wick, where the studio wall carries my paintings and the kettle is always on.

The Medium

Born hearing more than most

I am a natural-born psychic with an early background in Picti Wicca (PectiWita) and Wicca, and I come from a long line of gifted ancestors. Spirit has been part of my life for as long as memory itself; for the past twenty years I have worked as a practising medium, metaphysical healer, guide and Tarot reader.

I also studied for two years with Shaman Sally Rossiter in South Africa, learning a wide range of metaphysical healing and meditation techniques, and I have facilitated work with plant medicine and herbal traditions.

What that adds up to in a session is simple: no theatre, no fear, just honest connection, delivered with warmth and a good deal of laughter when it’s needed.

The Artist

Painting from dreams and visions

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I paint what the visions show me, and the animals and natural world I love deeply, in a style that is entirely my own. I work in mixed media, oils and sculpture.

Scots by blood, born just north of London, I have lived in Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Canada, and returned again and again to Greece and Chile. Every landscape and every stage of the spiritual journey has left its colour on the canvas.

I paint my truth as I live it. There is beauty and a lesson in everything; we just need to look for it.
