In this episode, I’m joined by shamanic practitioner Tracey Coulson, a sacred tool holder, healer, and the creator of Holonic Drum Therapy.
We explore the vibrational nature of life, ancestral trauma, multidimensional healing, and what it truly means to walk the shamanic path. Tracey shares how her work weaves together her studies in childhood development, energy medicine, constellation therapy, and her own personal healing journey.
At the heart of her practice is the sacred act of birthing drums, a deeply spiritual calling that has shaped her path in profound ways. She works with sound, voice, and intention to help others reconnect to themselves when they feel out of alignment, lost, or unwell.
We also touch on:
Healing across timelines and generations
How trauma builds through unprocessed experience
Sound as a tool for awakening and integration
The subtle dynamics of money and energetic exchange
The importance of reclaiming personal power through presence
Tracey doesn’t claim to heal others, instead, she creates the space for you to remember how to heal yourself.
This conversation is deep, honest and I hope it opens something in you.

In this moving and inspiring episode, I speak with Dilraj Kaur, song circle facilitator, Kundalini Yoga teacher, and social justice advocate. Dilraj shares her powerful journey of reconnecting with her voice after years of silence, and how growing up in the Sikh faith, where song plays such a central role, planted the seeds for the work she now does through sacred song circles.
We explore how singing, especially in community, can be a healing, spiritual experience, bringing us back to presence and deeper connection with ourselves and others. Dilraj speaks beautifully about the power of repetition in song, the nature-based themes woven into the lyrics, and the way harmony can open the heart. No vocal skill is needed, just the willingness to show up and express.
She also shares her path as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and how that work supports the voice and energetic body, including the throat chakra. We discuss the creation of her own song space at her home called Sarun which she hopes will expand further.
Later in the conversation, we delve into her incredible work in social justice through Citizens UK, the UK’s largest and most diverse people-powered alliance. From campaigning for refugee rights to tackling housing injustice and racism, Dilraj is a shining example of spiritual action rooted in community.
This is an episode about reclaiming your voice, in every sense and letting it lead you back to connection.

In this episode, I chat with the brilliant Julie Bickerton, a bodyworker, yoga teacher, and women's wellbeing guide who supports women through some of the most powerful transitions of life from pregnancy and birth to postnatal recovery and beyond.
We explore Julie’s journey from massage into yoga and her deeply rooted practice of "Closing the Bones," a Mexican tradition that honours the postpartum body. We talk about the shifts in how women are supported (or not supported) during birth in modern medical systems and how the core need for connection, presence, and nurturing has never changed, despite all the new apps and clinical protocols.
Julie also opens up about her own transition into menopause, how she's navigating this threshold, and the new direction life is taking her. It's a warm, honest, and sometimes funny conversation about the timeless wisdom of the body, the healing power of touch, and the need for women to feel held at every stage.

In this episode I speak with Ruth Simmonds, a gifted practitioner of life force energy healing who works closely with the divine feminine. While her sessions are sometimes referred to as Kundalini Activation, Ruth prefers the term life force energy healing, as she explains this work is not about forcing a Kundalini awakening. Instead, it supports the body in releasing what it is ready to release and can gently assist in awakening when the time is right.
We talk about what it is like to experience one of her sessions, including the wide-ranging responses people can have, from deep emotional releases to spontaneous movements and states of peace. Ruth shares how trauma and unprocessed emotion can be held in the body, and how this work can help shift what talk therapy often cannot reach.
We also explore the power of rest, the importance of doing nothing, and why so many of us are stuck in cycles of busyness. Ruth speaks about her mission to make this kind of healing more accessible, and how her ultimate goal is to put herself out of a job, because everyone deserves to be doing this work for themselves.

Step into a calm sea of possibility as Reiki and Seichem master Lynn Brown shares her story of awakening and service. In this conversation she demystifies Reiki, traces the roots of Seichem, and explains how these two complementary modalities work with different elemental energies to encourage balance, clarity, and deep relaxation. Lynn reflects on the intuitive nudges that guided her towards energy practice, the milestones of her own healing journey, and the everyday transformations she witnesses in clients who welcome this gentle, hands on approach.
You’ll hear how Lynn combines Reiki and Seichem in her sessions, creating a powerful synergy that supports emotional, physical, and energetic healing. While Reiki offers a gentle, calming energy, Seichem allows the work to go deeper, helping to access and release blocks held more firmly in the body. Together, they offer a layered approach that meets each client exactly where they are.
Lynn also touches on her teaching pathway, describing the supportive environment she creates for students who wish to learn Reiki and Seichem at all levels, from curious beginners to those ready to teach. Alongside her healing work she offers intuitive and LifePath readings, giving practical insight that helps people align with their purpose.
Whether you are new to energy work or already on the path, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to deepen your connection with your own energetic self.
