1:1 with Fiona
Fiona’s grounding in nursing, massage and midwifery brings a body-centred focus to the energy and spirit work that comes through in a 1-1 session.
Each individual that comes to work with Fiona will met where they are in
that moment. Fiona will channel the unique blend of talking therapy, influenced by the practices of core process psychotherapy, reiki and energetic movement for each person.
Fiona works relationally and draws from experiences in her own life where this is appropriate and offers the wisdom of her own journey with grief and gratitude.
She offers a space of witnessing and a container where you can reflect and develop your awareness.
There are no subjects and areas that can’t be included in a session
but the key areas that Fiona specialises in are:
Grief
Life changes
Inner-child work
Connection
Trauma
Relationship difficulties
Health concerns
Emotional blocks
Depression and anxiety
Family difficulties
Coaching
Typical Session
A typical session with Fiona will begin with her burning sage to delineate the gateway of everyday life and mark the movement into an intentional healing space.
You will be invited to talk about what you want or need, and share what is going on that you want help or healing with. It might be that you lie down and you journey into your body, or to the sound of a drum. It might be you carry on talking, or work with old memories dreams and old stories.
The session is led by you with Fiona as your guide. She is the midwife, holding the space so that a new understanding, experience, or perspective can come through. It might be that you have strong emotional feelings that need to be expressed – grief, rage, despair, or confusion and these need witnessing.
The session might include Reiki, physical touch and holding. The session could include prayer or invoking the support from the space that you most trust in; and sometimes she suggests a practice or tools to support your process.
You can have a one-off session or come more regularly depending on what it is you want to work with.
​
Most sessions are an hour to an hour and a half, unless you request a double session.
​
Fiona also works with couples and specific relationship dynamics.
Due to the multi-disciplinary approach of the work, sessions are generally face-to face in her therapy room where she lives in Devon. However, many people also work with Fiona across the country and abroad on Zoom.

Rites of Passage
Within Fiona’s work with individuals, women's groups, retreats and
ceremonies there is an understanding of the importance around rites of passage for people. A particular phases of life and moments in time, it is good to mark and honour the journey that has brought us to that moment.
At these rituals of initiation, there is an invitation to give thanks and release the weight of stories being carried and to make prayers and intentions for the future.
In this way Fiona lays the way for you to make commitment to change and honour the passage of life.
Birth Consultant
In 1993, the 'Craft' of Birthing found Fiona, and as a lay midwife she accompanied many women through birth and the childbearing year. These first births seeded her passion for midwifery and led her to complete her official training with the NHS.
She went on to practice as an Independent Midwife for thirteen years and co-founded Sacred-Birthing, a doula training programme, which enabled her to teach and share from her years of experience.
Her passion is to uphold birth as Sacred, and has committed to being a safe-keeper of the ancient craft of midwifery.
Fiona is currently practicing as a Birth Consultant, offering individual coaching sessions, mentoring and teaching.
1-1 sessions can include support with birth preparation, debriefing after birth or previous births, and planning with you, how to best support the whole birthing rite of passage.
Fiona is committed to supporting women to feel empowered through their birth choices and experiences, however and whatever they are. In the recent years, there are too many stories from women and some professionals, of trauma experienced in relation to child-birth. This is so far from the Sacred Rite of Passage she believes in and has experienced birth to be.
Body Therapist
There is a close relationship between the emotional, energetic and physical body, and so much content gets stored in the body from the weight of the stories carried.
In the late 1980's Fiona qualified in massage at the Gerda Boysen school of Biodynamic psychotherapy. She then went on to study to be a reflexologist with the Bayly School. In the early 1990's Fiona was apprenticed to her Reiki master and was initiated as a Reiki master herself in 1995. This became a major focus of hers, and she has practised and taught Reiki ever since.
Fiona’s experience of working with the body and with energy is now integrated into all of her work. She offers individual Reiki sessions, and incorporates Reiki in her sessions, and teach Reiki classes to small groups on request.
