I love to share a myriad of practices to develop positive energy and grow inner reserves beautifully, Scaravelli inspired yoga focuses on grounding, healing the spine through mindful movement and the breath. Working from the inside out, this practice brings a deep inner connection, new alignment and self-healing. I write and create my own unique guided meditations and relaxations. Accessible yoga, non-competitive, open to all.

I trained in Scaravelli inspired yoga and qualified at Morley college Westminster, London in 2006.
My work is intuitive, heart centred, deeply releasing relaxing and grounding.
I look forward to meeting you. X

Faye Bradbury

Faye Bradbury is a dedicated and experienced practitioner who runs her own sound therapy practice and has done for many years. What is is also truly wonderful is she grew up in the woods where the retreat is being held and the place holds her heart. I am delighted to have Faye as part of the team, her skills are amazing and what she weaves into a session is truly transformative. 

Sacred Sound Healing with Faye

I am a fully qualified Sound Therapy Healing Practitioner and Crystal Sound Activation Therapy Practitioner. In 2010 -2012 I studied with the British Academy of Sound Therapy and later went on to study further with the beautiful Michelle Avarard and Nestor Kornblum at The Dome in Spain.

What People Are Saying

I had a shamanic sound healing session with Faye and it was such a wonderful experience. She is so kind and supportive. I went to her not really knowing what I needed but she helped me to figure it out and created a wonderful healing space. I left the session feeling like myself again after spending so long feeling lost. I'm so grateful and excited to continue receiving the positive benefits from it. 🙂

Valerie Dean

I love to tell stories that help connect people to place, to landscape and
to the natural world. Stories that follow the seasons , of a year, or a
life. We have always told stories, shared stories, tales of help and
healing, of adventure and courage , of beauty and laughter and love. In
these times sharing such stories is much needed medicine, food for body
and soul. Let me tell you a story………………
