The Healing Room

Using light, sound, vibration, scents, and touch, my aim is to engage the five physical senses in ways that stimulate and activate the sixth. Through years of trial, error, and refinement, I have integrated the elements I am most passionate about into a unique, multi-sensory healing modality. Every practitioner’s approach is different, but this particular combination reflects my personal journey, knowledge, and intuition.

Healing can support a wide range of challenges, physical, emotional, or spiritual and also provides a peaceful way to relax, recharge, and reconnect. It enhances the body’s natural ability to restore itself, re-centres your energy, and empowers you to regain control over your life.

Sound, light, vibration, and energy are all waves in motion. When aligned, they can restore balance, clarity, and harmony to the individual. My path is one of ongoing growth, exploration, and research, guided by the belief that all phenomena no matter how subtle or mysterious can ultimately be understood through experience, observation, and awareness.

The Ultimate Sensory Reset Experience

This is not just relaxation it is nervous system recovery. In Somerset and the surrounding areas, there is very little that combines structured sensory input, physical release, and skilled therapeutic presence within a calm, rural, and distraction-free setting. While similar experiences exist elsewhere in the world, they are not widely accessible.

Here, in my healing room you are guided through a multi-layered approach that simply does not exist locally. The experience begins before you even reach the therapy room or lie down on the couch.

The first step is a brief yet deeply therapeutic massage, designed to lower muscle tone and calm the sympathetic nervous system. As the body stops guarding, breathing naturally slows and the mind follows, becoming more receptive.

In a typical massage or therapy session, it can take five to ten minutes just to begin relaxing. Here, by the time you enter the sensory experience, you are already open and primed, allowing you to go deeper and faster because you are already in a regulated state.

For shift workers and those living under constant stress, this often feels like the first genuine pause in weeks. Many of us imagine relaxation as going on holiday, yet even when we are away, we are often still in motion, coping with travel stress, jet lag, and unfamiliar environments. It can take days before the mind truly settles and then we have to do it all again in reverse to leave to go home.

My healing sessions take you straight to that place of rest. From the moment you enter, you are invited to leave your worries and concerns behind. This is an integrative nervous-system regulation in action, with each element carefully designed to engage and support your system on multiple levels.

First stage:

For first-time clients, the session begins with a consent form upon arrival. This acts as a gentle vetting process for anyone who has not previously experienced the light. It ensures safety, comfort, and a clear understanding of the process.

Second stage:

This is followed by a short two-minute demonstration of the light machine. The purpose of this is to help the client relax and familiarise themselves with the experience, rather than being placed straight into a deep session, which could feel overwhelming or uncomfortable. Both the music and light levels can be fully adjusted to suit individual comfort levels.

It is important to note that the light is always optional. Some people choose not to use it at all, and this is completely respected. A small percentage of individuals typically around 1–2% find that light stimulation is not for them, and that is perfectly okay.

Third stage:

Once the client has been vetted and has experienced the demonstration, the session continues with gentle body relaxation through massage performed over clothing in a seated massage chair. This helps release physical tension and allows the body to let go, preparing the nervous system for deeper rest.

After approximately 10–20 minutes of massage, clients are encouraged to use the toilet if needed. This ensures the main session can unfold without interruption, allowing for a fully immersive and uninterrupted experience.

Fourth Stage:

The moment someone enters the healing room, the ordinary world begins to fade. Surrounded by open fields and far removed from urban distraction, the space itself invites the body and mind to pause, soften, and settle.

The therapy room is intentionally painted in a deep lapis metallic blue, walls and ceiling a colour chosen for its calming and expansive qualities. The subtle reflective quality of the paint creates a soft, ambient glow, enhancing the sense of depth and stillness within the room. Gold-coloured sacred geometry has been carefully placed on the walls, gently breaking up the intensity of the deep blue while promoting a natural sense of harmony, order, and balance, without requiring conscious focus or effort.

The room measures approximately three by four metres. It is not so large that one feels exposed or disconnected, nor so small that it feels confining. Instead, its proportions create a feeling of privacy, containment, and safety. Its an ideal environment for deep relaxation and inner exploration.

A round window allows light and energy to flow naturally, softening the boundaries between inside and outside without inviting the rigidity of the external world to intrude. This is not a space designed for thinking or analysing, but for sensing, feeling, and experiencing. Once the eyes close, attention naturally turns inward, and the room becomes a gateway into a completely different inner landscape.

Sixth Stage:

Before the session begins, I gently guide participants through several minutes of deep breathwork. This process helps build and circulate energy throughout the body, calming the mind while simultaneously preparing the nervous system for deeper states of relaxation and awareness. The breathwork is intentionally slow and immersive, allowing people to let go of surface tension and naturally drop into a more receptive inner state.

As the session unfolds, subtle vibrations begin to awaken the body even before the music fills the room. Beneath the couch, four tactile Reckhorn transducers hum in precise synchrony with the soundscape, converting low-frequency tones into felt vibrations that travel through muscle, bone, and connective tissue. These are not merely vibrations but they form a direct, physical dialogue with the nervous system.

Research in vibroacoustics suggests that low-frequency stimulation of this kind activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones such as cortisol, slow the heart rate, and encourage deep, restorative breathing. The body begins to feel held, supported, and gently aligned, often before the conscious mind fully registers what is happening. This somatic grounding creates the foundation for deeper therapeutic and experiential work to unfold naturally.

Seventh Stage:

At the end of each session, clients are given time to gently return to themselves. Fresh water or herbal tea is offered, and there is space to talk openly, in person, about the experience or anything that may be present for them.

As a therapist, I am also trained in mental health support. While this work is not psychotherapy or psychology, I am able to hold a safe, grounded space for reflection and conversation. And communication is strickly confidential but allows the space where clients can express and let go. Where appropriate, I can suggest supportive directions or external resources for further help. At times, intuition or mediumistic insight may naturally arise, but the primary intention is to provide a calm, respectful closing to the session. Allowing clients to integrate what they have experienced and, if they wish, to speak about what is on their mind.

During colder or rainy periods, this integration time can take place indoors in a comfortable, relaxed setting. In the warmer and dryer months throughout the year the retreat is located beside a peaceful nature reserve of many walks, offering the option of gentle walks and quiet reflection outdoors if needed. There is no expectation to leave immediately.

Clients are encouraged to take their time. I always recommend allowing an additional hour beyond the session itself, giving space to unwind fully before returning home or continuing on to the next part of the day. Especially as individuals can feel a little disorientated after the session.

Integration is an essential part of the process, and this unhurried transition supports both nervous system regulation and lasting benefit.
