In this enlightening conversation, Robyn and Paul delve into the realms of elemental healing, shamanic practices, and the intricate relationships between humans and nature. Paul shares his personal journey of awakening to his intuitive abilities and the importance of reconnecting with the natural world. They explore themes of trust, the significance of ancestral connections, and the balance between masculine and feminine energies. The discussion emphasizes the need for humility, accountability, and the role of nature in healing, ultimately calling for a collective return to the web of life that binds us all.

About Our Guest Paul

Over the past 25 years, Paul has developed a deeply intuitive connection with Nature through personal endeavours and healing work. His belief is that, since we originate from Nature and are a part of it, it makes sense to rekindle our connection to Nature, as surely It is at the heart of our healing. Paul’s approach to healing is collaborative, and Nature spirit is always present. He uses Craniosacral Therapy (various trainings since 1997), his own British Wild Flower Essences established in 1999, and astral structures for remote shamanic healing. Since 2005, he’s specialised in working with newborn babies, children, and animals, particularly horses. He has also undertaken a Dolphin Assisted Bio Aquatic CST course for paediatrics with disabilities in Turkey 2010.

In addition to his healing work, he offers workshops and courses to enable clients to operate their own Spiral Bridge - the astral structure he developed co-creatively with Nature, as a tool to create a virtual safe space to communicate with Nature and receive healing from It.

With over 27 years of clinical experience, Paul’s intention is to bring warmth and enthusiasm to his healing work, and enjoys helping others find their path to wellness.
