Exploring and connecting to other possibilities and realities is central to Jane’s work. A rollercoaster of lived experiences has taken her to otherworldly places. Having trained in Celtic shamanism in Glastonbury, Jane, who has Scottish and Irish roots, loves how this tradition honours the indigenous wisdom of the British Isles. Her approach gently yet powerfully connects us with spirit, nature, our ancestors and our own bodies and is informed by both her writing and her teaching work.

 

Jane works as a shamanic healer at Healing Space Hackney as well as virtually. Primal, magic and healing is just one way she describes her intuitive client-led sessions, which involve integration and tools to take away. In her experience the effects on all aspects of our physical; emotional and spiritual wellbeing is powerful. Combining breathing, relaxation and visualisation with dialoguing, clients describe feeling peace and connection as well as clarity, energy and inspiration. Jane loves how clients feel them as incredibly efficient by apparently effortlessly resolving life long issues.

Falling inexplicably unconscious and double fracturing her jaw led to Jane training in Face Yoga and Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) treatment. She loves how these therapies can have such incredible effect on our emotional and physical wellbeing. Jane has experienced how trauma to the face is particularly intense, and in the same way that interventions can be profoundly powerful. Bespoke Face Yoga and TMJ sessions at Healing Space Hackney and online are for anyone who has experienced face trauma or pain, either pre or post surgery, as well as for general physical and mental health.
