About

Before I share more about me and my story, I’d like to let you into little secret, if I may.

I believe there are 'easy' ways to grow spiritually.Yes, easy.​ But how often do we choose the easy way? After all, it’s human nature to take the road less travelled, for that is where the real growth occurs. But, we always have the choice.

You may have heard the quote "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Well I believe that our main needs are to remain open, be willing to do our own 'inner work' when necessary, and remember to ask for help when it is required. When we have a genuine desire to learn, grow and evolve, the Universe has a wonderful way of stepping forward to help. Through our intuition we receive the answers we need, coming in through guidance and gentle nudges!

Perhaps that is why you are reading these words today. Maybe it's time to recognise these needs and to find guidance that can be relied upon. 

All too often it's our 'response' to life and its unexpected twists and turns that leads us down a difficult pathway - one of pain and suffering. If you’re anything like me you may also be a little hard on yourself when that happens, you may try to work things out on your own, but this can lead to feeling alone. It can be hard to accept our vulnerable moments. We sometimes see them as a sign of weakness.​ After all, we often have a tough time believing that we really ‘fit in’. There are good reasons for the round peg/square hole thing happening - we weren't ever meant to 'fit in'.  Rather, we came to change how things would be done. In addition, we attracted situations that did not match our deeper needs. Perhaps we have a tendency for over giving? No one really taught us about boundary setting in school, did they?

I believe our greatest wound can become our greatest gift. Yes we come into this life with a spiritual suitcase, but somewhere on our journey, we may realise the need to gather additional tools and resources.

Like many, I often needed to learn and grow the hard way, and it became important for me to trust what life was offering.  I felt guided to learn about my unique set of values and needs, what it meant to be an HSP (highly sensitive person), how to let go of distractions and find my focus, and stay true to my higher calling. I have been blessed to meet some incredible teachers, each time I was ready. I thank them for clearly pointing me in the right direction. I also had a spirit team nudging me forward ever so gently, and have been holding space for others to grow spiritually for over 20 years now. 

I want to help those who are awakening to experience growth that feels safe, empowering, and real. I feel it's time to let go of the 'woo woo' and find practical tools that lead to personal breakthroughs. Being spiritual is not about having membership to some exclusive club. It's about discovering the true nature of who we are, and witnessing the magic and miracles in our every day existence. Let's keep our approach down-to-earth. Our growth may not always look pretty or be perfect in every way, but deep down it always gives us exactly what we need, as an individual.

My aim is provide you with a hand to hold, particularly during times you may need it the most. I want to create a space for you that feels comforting and nurturing. It is neutral and free from judgement, with a focus on finding positive and practical ways for you to shine your light. After all, that is what you have come here to do.

My Story

I have always been creative; I just love making things. I made my first pair of flared trousers at the tender age 6. They were the perfect match to the pair of platform shoes I picked up in a local jumble sale – embarrassing but true! At 16 I went to art school, became radically inspired by colour, and this led me briefly into the field of colour trend prediction within the fashion industry. Yes, despite our tendency to want to wear black (for protection) or blue (for expression), people do ‘predict’ colour stories that appear on the high street up to 5 years in advance. It was fun. We worked with mills to produce cloth and makers to create designer collections which travelled around the world.

I have always loved retail and building communities too. My very small hall of fame contains awards for merchandising that I gained during my 10 years running three design-led shops. With the help of a super caring team, I juggled a variety of roles in my 20s and 30s. I was mum to two beautiful boys, managed high degrees of sensitivity, and experienced a lot of stress and strain, and my fair share of meltdowns. When that almost became too much the angels made their presence known. I purchased my first book about angel therapy and each time it was open I felt the lightest touch brush against my shoulder and a feeling of lightness I have never known before. Immediately I started to sense things differently. Even the energy from a beautiful old horse chestnut tree stopped me in my tracks one late autumn day. It spoke very clearly "life will never be quite the same again Gabrielle". And it wasn't. I began to research, attend workshops, and rediscover my light with the help of healers, teachers and mentors, and through training in Reiki and animal healing, amongst other things. Change happens whether we like it or not sometimes, and yes the student was ready! I began to see a deep need to heal and to release that which clearly no longer served me - pain, yes pain, and some degree of superficiality; being slowly replaced with an unwavering desire to discover the real me. The old life I was leaving behind was simply nothing like the new experiences that were waiting in the wings.

​​

After a strong awakening in 2012, I began to hold a new vision and, within an instant it seemed, left the world of retail to open a magical new wellbeing space.  I grew a new community, and this time with activities to promote spiritual growth, health and wellbeing. It took a lot of courage. The person that others wanted to see clearly had changed, and I guess for them that felt scary! In my centre we offered all kinds of activities - workshops, classes, therapies, and monthly wellbeing markets. My creativity began to flourish again. We established a living art gallery within the walls of that sacred building and I worked alongside some incredible teachers and therapists, artists and makers.

​​

For 10 years I taught Angelic Reiki. It strengthened my intuitive connection and love for everything beyond the physical realm. It also provided a more practical focus to support families, empaths and highly sensitive souls (HSPs) and those with ASC (autism spectrum condition). I ran the 'Secret to Sensitivity' programme and established a foundation to support children and teens, all the while learning about my own inner child and what she desperately needed from me. I learned about the ascension process too, where that begins, and why it’s so relevant now. We created carers days, ‘Live Well’ experiences, sacred retreats and all-night gong baths. As a therapist my training seemed to be following an A-Z in holistic healing, but I welcomed the gifts that spirit was awakening. This magical space became a second home for many clients and students that it welcomed in, who enjoyed the warmth we shared (plus the under-floor heating!), the acoustics from the high vaulted ceiling and the light flooding in through stained-glass windows (it had once been a Victorian chapel). The energy was light and flowing, and there were many moments that literally took my breath away!

There was a real feeling of peace and connection within those walls. That was truly tangible to me and to many of the friends who considered the space to be their 'real' home. My love of learning extended into spaces, with geomancy, space clearing, and Feng Shui becoming a focus for several years. My love for nature, the land, crystals, and the nature spirits was also returning.

In 2016 I was asked to travel to Portugal for a retreat, and through a number of incredible synchronicities I connected with a new modality known as Quantum Radionics (pendulum healing through dowsing) that had been channelled by a Brazilian teacher, Regia Prado. It led to my centre being the only space to host its training in the UK, and my friend and fellow teacher Steve Nobel suggested it could be renamed Quantum Psionics.​ Soon this was joined by Jerry's Sergeant's Star Magic and then Pellowah, an energy modality channelled by Kachina Ma'an from Australia and taught by Julie Parker. Many of the modalities I went on to practice and teach arrived on the earth plane between 2002-2005, and were perfectly aligned to the new higher frequencies that many of those who were 'awakening' would need. What a difference those modalities made to the community I was building, and indeed to me. I always felt that Kevin Core's Angelic Reiki held a special place in supporting the new sensitive children. Many of my clients and students were parents, grandparents, teachers and caregivers. 

It's been amazing to be guided by my spirit team. To be of service as a healer, teacher and mentor has been hugely fulfilling. Today I am blessed to build a new conscious community online and return to in-person activities closer to my new home, in the stunning High Weald area of Sussex in the UK. Away from teaching, mentoring, and practicing therapies, you will find me tuning into the natural landscape around my home, visiting galleries, maybe making something, growing and arranging flowers, reading, travelling, building a fire or playing in the trees. I have a wonderful family, and a beautiful granddaughter who clearly reminds me of the joy of living. For me, life needs to be lived, and fully. 

​​

On leaving my centre back in 2022, I moved to Cambridgeshire to be with my loving partner Elliott and our very vocal cat, Bellamy, an elderly gentleman who loves to 'sit in' on client sessions! Looking back I took some kind of sabbatical it seems, but the opportunity was needed - to dive deeper and to heal, to rediscover even more about the 'real me' and get clarity on what the next chapter would bring.​ My friend and fellow Pellowah teacher Julie Parker once asked me, “Why don’t you become an ascension teacher?” and here I am now, sharing these words with you. Life is not linear. We return to similar spaces again and again in order to go deeper, within.

​​

However sensitive or empathic we may be, I believe we no longer need to dim ourselves down or hide behind that which others want us to be. Like the sun gently peeking through the clouds, the light and energy from our soul is always shining through the many layers of our multi-dimensionality.

We have arrived at this golden moment, with some sense of remembering - that we need to continue to build our conscious awareness, to raise our frequency, reclaim our power and personal sovereignty, and live within in a higher state of spiritual flow, permanently. But why stop at the 5d? We can train ourselves to hold frequencies at 6d (Quantum level) and beyond. We can enjoy a consistent dialogue with those celestial beings who seek to support us through the transition we are making. By embracing this philosophy, and expanding through personal and spiritual growth, we not only support ourselves but also empower others to do the same.

​​

Are we ready to create this lasting legacy - a healthy planet where the next generation will not only survive but thrive in every way? I hope so. If we get it right perhaps there will no longer be the need for that generation to ‘begin again’. Rather, our children can build upon the safe and solid foundations that we are now establishing. Earth is a wonderful school of learning. It’s ascending and it’s time for us to do the same!

I don't have all the answers you seek, after all I am only human (actually Kanethian, but with a sprinkling of Pleidian thrown in), but I can and will point you in the right direction, if you and your higher self will allow me. With the support of my own spirit team, we can hold you safely within the 14th dimension (Ra Consciousness) so that real change can happen. We’re ready to cheer you on, and help you celebrate each and every win.

Truth is where this journey begins and my wish is that you flourish in the true nature of all that you came here to be.
