About me
Welcome. I’m Ali, the founder of Nurturing Folk, and I’m so glad you’re here.
My work is rooted in the belief that you are not broken—you are whole, always have been, always will be. Healing isn’t about fixing; it’s about remembering. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can reconnect with yourself, release what’s no longer serving you, and move forward with greater ease and clarity.
I have a special interest in supporting trauma processing through energy, breath, sound, and touch. Offering pathways to healing that don’t require you to retell your story over and over again. These therapies work gently with the body, helping to shift stored experiences in a way that feels safe, empowering, and deeply restorative. Whether you are navigating chronic illness, exhaustion, low mood, or simply feeling disconnected from your life force energy, these practices can offer profound support either alongside talk therapy or as a standalone journey of self-discovery.
Rooted in nature and inspired by my personal practice in Celtic shamanism, I believe that true healing is about reconnection—to yourself, to others, and to the natural world. We all have the capacity to heal, and my role is simply to hold space and shine a light so you can see it for yourself.
If you're ready to explore how these practices can support you, I’d love to connect.
Through Reiki, breathwork, sound healing, and holistic bodywork, I provide personalised support tailored to your unique needs. My approach is intuitive yet grounded, blending years of training with a deep respect for your body's wisdom.
Whether you’re seeking one-to-one sessions, workshops, or transformative retreats, my focus is always on creating a nurturing space where you feel truly seen, held, and supported.
