I have always been interested in health and the mind, having obtained a BA (hons) in Biology and Psychology. My first work in health was as a mental health nurse. I soon became quite disturbed by the side-effects of the mind-influenzing drugs. Also to me it seemed that a mental breakdown was brought about by traumas and spiritual awakening rather than through a chemical imbalance.

After having done yoga for several years I took the yoga teaching training course not so much to teach but to learn about the philosophy of yoga as a guide to spiritual growth. However I was encouraged to teach yoga to people with mental health problems and found that they very much benefitted from yoga, to the extent that they could reduce their medication.

A friend gave me the Organon (bible of homeopathy) in which I read how well homeopathy can treat the mind without side-effects. I enthusiastically started the 4-year training course in homeopathy. After qualified and treating people homeopathy still continues to excite me.

Another friend encouraged me to read ‘Full catastrophe Living’ by Jon Kabat-Zinn, who developed Mindful-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) therapy which inspired me to set up a stress management course based on yoga, breathing, relaxation and meditation. This last discipline I acquired through attending Buddhist retreats and personal practice. The combination of homeopathy, yoga and Mindful Based Stress Reduction therapy is a very powerful tool to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, pain, etc.

I am interested in physical, mental and spiritual well being, encouraging people to become again human beings rather than human doings. The combination of homeopathy, yoga and Mindful Based Stress Reduction therapy is a very powerful tool to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain.

I tried my first yoga class when I was 22 years old and I was hooked, I loved that I felt taller, stronger and calmer after every class.

Participating in sports like squash and running most of my adult life, I know that yoga kept me injury free, agile and feeling young. Being neuro-divergent I have found that my daily practice helps me tremendously to stay grounded and get clarity and space in the mind.

I did my Teacher Training in 2011 and have been teaching Yoga since then. I have taught in various health centres and studios, in group settings and also to individuals of all ages and ability.

In 2020 I did a three-year comprehensive diploma course with The Society of Yoga Practitioners (TSYP) to become a Yoga Therapist. The course fulfils the British Council of Yoga Therapy (BCYT) standards and qualifies me to work as a Yoga Therapist and to be registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) as a Yoga Therapist.

I have always been interested in helping others to help themselves. Having been a teacher in a Secondary school for 20 years and at the same time working as a Samaritan volunteer for nearly 25 years at the time, I attended a seminar for spiritual growth in 2013 – entitled ‘Conciousness and Human Evolution‘. I listened to many presentations that weekend from well known presenters in their field of work, like Joe Dispenza, Gregg Bradden, Lynn McTaggart and Eric Pearl. I found the one given by Dr Eric Pearl truly inspiring; I watched his demonstration of Reconnective Healing, and that nailed it for me.

Immediately I saw it as an opportunity to help others as well as heal myself in much more profound as well as subtle ways. As I read Dr Pearl’s book, my body reacted well before reaching the last page. Later I had Reconnective Healing and The Reconnection before completing the Level 1 and 2 Practitioner’s course in London.

During one of my first healing sessions, I experienced a strange feeling connected to my eyes, like an internal buzz. I had been having trouble with them for years, and have been under the care of the country’s top eye specialists at Moorfields. A few months earlier I had a major operation followed by numerous changes of eye drops. After that experience I visited the eye specialist and was told that my condition had settled and indeed improved, I would have no need for a change of eyedrops, something which was happening frequently as they searched for a cure using conventional medicine. Personal experience went a long way in motivating me towards developing my skills as a Practitioner

I then decided to do the Level 3 Practitioner’s course in Portugal, a course allowing me to offer The Reconnection® to clients and a more powerful aspect of the whole Reconnection Healing frequencies spectrum.

Since working as a Practitioner, many of my clients have had miraculous healings, some immediate, some taking a bit of time. One client had the Reconnective Healing® and The Reconnection® and avoided a major operation to his knee as pain reduced considerably making major surgery unnecessary. Another lady was having trouble walking as bones in her feet were turning inwards making walking more and more difficult. Additionally, kidney deterioration was becoming more acute and doctors were recommending major conventional treatment. She saw me and both areas of concern disappeared over a few weeks thus avoiding major surgery and kidney dialysis. A Reiki master came to experience my services, out of curiosity, and found that a shoulder pain that she had suffered from for years had disappeared after two sessions. I always tell my clients that it is not me doing the healing, I am merely a facilitator, fortunate enough to be in a position to serve using the gifts of the Universe.

It depends solely on what the Universe decides you need rather than what you want. The new frequencies are giving the Earth and its inhabitants new and faster ways to evolve; this is an excellent opportunity for self-improvement, via Universal light.

I’ve been fortunate to be promoted to Mentor and later to Teaching Assistant within the Reconnection organisation and travel globally with Dr Eric Pearl and Teaching team supporting the expansion of this work. My RH Practice is rewarding for clients and myself and I am now able to offer Practitioner mentoring and coaching.
Since the current Pandemic, the management structure for Reconnective Healing has changed and now I am a member of the Global Advisory Alliance. Essentially, although a different name, the responsibilities are the same – giving advise to clients and Practitioners worldwide.

It’s such an honour to be able to serve in this way.

When my children left home, I realized I needed something meaningful to fill my time. I searched for something that would rekindle my sense of purpose and help me rediscover who I was and what I wanted to do. I had visited a kinesiologist several times over the past 27 years and was always intrigued by how it worked. This curiosity led me to begin my Touch for Health journey in 2019, when I attended a two-day level one workshop out of pure interest.

I was instantly captivated!

I had discovered a passion and purpose that made me eager to start each day, filled with new ideas and questions. Since that weekend, I’ve dedicated every spare moment to learning, reading, and helping others experience the wonders and simplicity of Touch for Health. My goal is to introduce as many people as possible to TFH Kinesiology. In 2022, I decided the best way to achieve this was to go where people gather. I reached out to the TFH community and organized a booth at our first major event.

Since then, I’ve been joined by kinesiologists from various modalities, and together we’ve attended WOMAD and CarFest. Next year, we hope to add the Wilderness Festival to our lineup, along with many smaller events throughout the year.

I also hold workshops in Mindset Priming and offer Reiki Sessions.

Tricia Slater

I’m an Integrative Counsellor with a degree in Applied Psychology. I specialise in working with individuals and couples who are having relationship difficulties. I work in person with clients in the Haslemere and Godalming areas and I also work online.

Relationships and the need for connection are fundamental to our wellbeing. I can help you make sense of the difficulties you are experiencing. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and empower you to make changes. I have been described as having a warm and compassionate approach.

Are you and your partner having problems around communication? Perhaps you don’t feel heard or understood. Are trust issues getting in the way of your relationship?

​​I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with fear of abandonment, over dependency, fear of rejection and commitment issues. I believe that in order to fully heal a relationship, and ourselves, we need to change unhealthy patterns of behaviour. I help clients to identify, understand and change these patterns so that they can move forward. I will listen with empathy and care, and support you to find a way forward.

​​​​I am Spanish, so I am happy to work with Spanish speaking clients.​
​​Get in contact if you want to know more. ​I offer a free 15-minute consultation, online or on the phone, where we can have a brief discussion about what you would like support with and where I can answer any questions you might have.

When my baby started to show symptoms of colic at around four weeks, I tried everything, from colic drops to reflux remedies but nothing seemed to work. A friend recommended I tried Bowen therapy to relieve her colic.

I took my daughter along for her first treatment with a Bowen therapist. After a quick chat and what felt like about fifteen minutes of gentle manipulation on my daughter’s back and stomach (which she loved by the way), I was sent on my way.

Almost immediately after the treatment my daughter filled her nappy. The therapist had told me this would probably happen, as the baby’s muscles started to react to the treatment. That night she only cried with colic for a brief time and the next night, NO CRYING AT ALL!!!  And the next night, nothing! The colic never came back. This powerful experience is what convinced me to train in the Bowen Technique.

Bowen therapy, not only works on the muscles, but mainly work on the fascia. Fascia is an important, highly mobile, connective tissue, which runs throughout your body. It is via the fascia that the therapist can address levels of tension and discomfort.

We purposefully move the fascia in a particular way to stimulate or relax muscle fibres in order to achieve improved posture and flexibility, pain relief and/or improved mobility

I have been a fully qualified Bowen Technique Therapist with the European College of Bowen Studies since 2012 and I have my Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology For Complementary Therapies.

Oksana Masiutkina

My name is Oksana Masiutkina. I am a practitioner of the Access Bars technique and I am happy to share this method with you. Holding Access Bars sessions, I never cease to be amazed with the results for my clients! Restrictions, limiting programs and beliefs systems are removed quickly and easily and the path to your desired goal becomes much shorter and easier now with Access Bars.

Our body remembers everything that happens to us, even if the psyche buries it.  We  carry a lot of “baggage” from feelings, emotions, thoughts, events, points of view, impressions, reactions and instincts (of which 98% do not belong to us!) it becomes more and more difficult to relax. Creating new experiences, feelings and future is almost impossible when we rely on our past memories, habits and behaviours.

After just 15 minutes of this practice the brain reaches a state of deep relaxation (theta state), which activates self-healing of the body and opens up space for awareness in our lives. On average, a session lasts 1-1.5 hours

I invite you to Access Bars sessions if you wish:

• to improve your health and remove the psychological causes of any disease
• to harmonise your state of being
• to get out of a depressive state or an impasse
• to stop worrying about doubts and to start making decisions
• to hear yourself and your true desires
• to elevate your financial level
• to learn to attract desired relationships, resources and new opportunities with ease

I also offer Theta Healing sessions in Russian or Ukrainian.

Gillie Scarrott-Jones

Gillie has been practicing Reiki and Seichem for over 20 years, and during that time she has gradually developed her own unique offering of Energy Alchemy. She first obtained her Usui Reiki I and II qualifications in 2003, and further qualified as a Tera Mai© Reiki Practitioner/Master Teacher in 2004. Gillie subsequently trained in Reyad Sekh Em®, and more latterly, trained and studied to be a Master Teacher in Egyptian Cartouche.  Her most recent offerings include Egyptian Healing Rods and Crystals.

Gillie practices her Reiki & Seichem (pronounced say-keem) in the Cobham area, where she provides a welcoming, relaxed and safe environment for her treatments. The symptoms being treated can be physical or emotional and can range from anything from a frozen shoulder or sprained ankle to more serious or complex issues. Treatment sessions can also be provided to therapists/practitioners who are looking to explore and fine tune their own healing journeys.

Seichem works in a very similar way to Reiki and is a very powerful healing technique. Hands are placed on the body, but they can also work in the aura which surrounds the body. It is reputedly one of the healing arts that was practised in ancient Egypt. Reiki is one of the four elemental rays which make up Seichem: earth (Reiki), water, air and fire.

Gillie also provides training courses for Reiki & Seichem to Master/Teacher level and is known to both the Reiki & Seichem Association and the UK Reiki Federation. She provides ongoing mentoring to all her students who have chosen to continue with their own energy journeys.  Her lineage can be traced back to Dr Usui which is essential when looking for a reputable Practitioner.

In 2018 Gillie became a Crystal Skull Guardian, which profoundly changed her direction. She takes her Crystal Skulls on journeys to Ley lines, Earth Stars and ancient sites, where the skulls bring balance and harmony to wherever they are placed. The Crystal Skulls can also be used in a healing modality if a client is interested in exploring this experience.

Gillie also gives talks on the Crystal Skulls, showing how these enlightened beings are benevolent wonders, which hold the consciousness of the universe and bring peace, harmony and balance to Mother Earth.  The Crystal skull was not originally a symbol of death but of wisdom.
