My practice envelops many traditions. I weave the mystic, shamanic, and artistic approaches, with no induction techniques necessary. This is a natural part of who we all are. In all three approaches, a connection to the natural world is paramount.

The Andean Paqos are definitely closer to the mystical than they are to the shamanic. The medicine people within the Q’ero nation are known as “paqos,” which means “priest or mystic” in Quechuan, the language of the Inca. Being in the full presence of this ancient wisdom can forever change the way we perceive the world around us. As part of the Andean mystical tradition, I’ve enjoyed developing my relationship with the natural world. I also use shamanic techniques to call upon my allies and guides for help and I feel that I definitely work on behalf of my community.

Because of my background in fine art, theatre design, and textiles, I offer ways of working therapeutically using the arts and nature. Working artistically with clients is holistic and gentle, yet proven with clinical research to support a client’s journey to wellness and wholeness. I am deeply committed to the approach of Rudolf Steiner and his work through anthroposophy, which is the science of being human.

Brighton and Sussex Shamanic Training: Online and Face-to-Face sessions.

I call myself a Paqo and this is the term for a person who is trained in and practices the Andean Mystical Tradition. I’m honouring my tradition from the Andes by not using the word ‘Shaman’ or ‘Shamanic Healer’ where possible. I only use the word shamanic to help you understand the type of work that I offer.

Creative therapeutic and shamanic approaches can help us to articulate things that are difficult to explain verbally. Both approaches work with our innate bodies wisdom and imagination. These techniques help our souls to express themselves through journeying and the creative arts, allowing us to fully release and bring into balance whatever may be holding us back from our fullest potential.

As a Shamanic Practitioner and Arts Counsellor, I see clients as 1:1 or in small groups. I will be offering Creative Wellbeing classes and Retreats in East Sussex and the surrounding areas very soon.

Clients Say

Ali was recommended by another therapist. We had initially agreed 3 sessions but I quickly realised that I needed Ali to help me through a particularly tricky time in my life and I continued to see Ali for another 6 months. I instantly felt at ease with Ali. She is kind, compassionate and professional and I felt so much lighter after every healing. Ali, challenged, guided, and supported me to make some brave decisions that I am not sure I would have done without her. I always looked forward to our sessions and I will miss our time together but I know the door will be open for me to come back. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ali, she has helped me to change my life for the better.

Jenny TFull Time Mum, Brighton 2023

"I experienced a deeply transformative series of shamanic journeys with Ali. I found her to be a powerful authentic shaman and gentle wise guide. This work has helped me to rediscover my wholeness in a way that many other approaches that I have tried have not. "

V. PatelLoughborough, 2020

I found Ali’s level of therapeutic skill and clarity most useful about the sessions, as well as her kindness and compassion. I loved the secluded and dedicated space used for the sessions, with green nature right outside I was helped to move forward on several occasions, when very profound things that I had felt completely blocked about and were severely limiting and impacting my life for years, even decades, were suddenly not issues anymore. This happened both with issues I took to Ali, and also things I hadn’t even mentioned yet that were suddenly lifted as a bi-product of the work done in session. Also the sessions have helped me to see and understand certain parts of myself in completely different ways: a peace-giving shift that can never be undone. The shamanic sessions with Ali have given me a greater confidence that I have resources to guide me and lead me on my true path. They have also given me a deeper connection with my true self and a higher spiritual plane, a new level of clarity on my healing and direction, a clearer sense of who I am and a greater capacity to live in alignment with that rather than frequently making choices that left me unhappy.

NGWriter, Brighton, 2019

Ali helped me with shamanic healing in a situation where it was difficult for me to explain what was happening with me. Going to Ali helped me start the process of healing. Her way of working with the imagination was very helpful, later I realized that she was directly speaking with my soul and enabled a way for my soul to express itself. I loved the drumming – such a sacred experience, healing, holding, keeping me safe. It enabled me to travel and Ali facilitated many meetings with beings, animals, plants, places, people, spirits. Her spirit guide helped me through the process too, and in some of the journeys I met the group of Q’ero people in the Andes. I would love to travel to Peru and meet them in person – they were such a happy, cheerful kind, present, healing, grounding and wise group of people. Many of the experiences in these journeys I still see in front of my inner eyes, 5 years later. I appreciate Ali’s qualities of patience, steadfastness, listening, holding a sacred and safe space, trusting the process, kindness and willingness to be of service to the spiritual work. She let me accompany her on the journeys and made me feel that it was a safe process. I don’t know if Ali would recognize me now – I feel I’ve changed a lot. Thanks to Ali, I know that shamanic healing works and that it can reach places inside which other therapies can’t and put us in contact with our soul again. Much Love and Gratitude.

S.NavanTranslator, Ireland. 2018

"Ali’s Arts Counselling helped me to strengthen my resilience in difficult times. I have learnt a range of excellent techniques to help me cope with the stress and anxiety of being seriously ill. I’m no artist and have always had a fear of blank sheets of paper, however there was no judgement. Her sessions have been invaluable to me during a period of ill health. Overall, they have helped me build resilience to the slings and arrows that cancer treatment can throw at you. After each session I have always felt calm and at peace, often rested and re-energised, as well as feeling much more in control of my own health and well being."

A. WaltersRodmell, East Sussex, 2019

"Working with Ali has made a tremendous impact on my life. The shamanic sessions bring together energy work, visualisation, reflective counselling and pure transcendent magic into a fantastic package, helping me to reflect and move on."

R. FairweatherCo-Director of The Jing Institute of Advanced Massage, Brighton 2013

The shamanic sessions have helped me through a very difficult phase of my life by not suppressing or ignoring it, but by addressing it, feeling it and then releasing it. It’s very powerful! These healing sessions with Ali helped my body’s nervous system to calm down and gave me tools to take away, to put into my daily practice. The energy work gave me a sense of calmness, a sense of truth and helped me to develop my trust in myself. Ali’s clearing and soul retrieval had a very powerful effect in bringing me back to a state of balance and shedding past burdens that have been hanging over me.

A. GoldYoga Teacher, Hove, East Sussex, 2018

With the help of Ali, I was able to successfully reconnect to some essential aspects of my own energy, and I believe this will carry me forward to experiencing greater confidence and clarity, and a knowing that I now have all the resources I need. Ali is extremely caring and supportive and I felt so safe during each of the treatments she provided. My own awareness seemed to unfold quite naturally. I was able to identify who in Spirit was helping me and memories they wanted me to see. I found the whole experience hugely worthwhile and feel that the new contracts which have been agreed for me, are perfectly aligned.

Gabrielle Anya Rafellowriter, teacher, mentor August 2018

I felt reassured that what I was feeling was OK and acceptable. I felt safe and not judged by Ali. I learnt to accept being me again was all I needed I have been able to let go of old beliefs that were sitting deep inside and feel so much more at peace with myself. I have a lot more patience , I am not rushing at life and just accepting things day by day.The soul retrieval was the most profound and potentially life changing for me. A very powerful and wonderful experience.
