My Story
I have been working within the field of natural wellbeing and healing since 2000 when I initially qualified in Holistic Aromatherapy and Reiki. Since then I have worked with a variety of different energy and bodywork therapies and modalities, plus Hypnosis, Past Life Regression Therapy and Between Lives Spiritual Regression.
In addition to running a private practice, for most of my years as a therapist I have provided sessions within a wide variety of voluntary sector organisations, including those working with Carers, Refugees and Asylum Seekers and people living with long term health issues. I provided therapies at Breast Cancer Haven Yorkshire for 9 years until the end of 2017, and within HIV Services in Leeds for 20 years until 2020.
Whilst training in Past Life Regression Therapy I became interested in Channelling and in 2015 I spontaneously began channelling sound - which literally meant that every time I relaxed into a meditative state, sound would start pouring out of my mouth. Not singing, chanting or speaking - just random sounds. Despite not looking for it, sound had very clearly found me!
What followed was a deep and powerful reconnection to the sound that resonates throughout my Being. A complete stripping back of all that I thought I was and a surrendering to what I truly Am. At times this process has been incredibly difficult, and has tried and tested me along the way. Deep transformation is rarely a comfortable process after all!
This journey of getting to know myself is how I truly came to understand the incredible transformational potential of sound. As someone so strongly affected by the lunar cycle and other astrological alignments, I immersed myself into creating channelled Soundings in order to recalibrate MY OWN energy. Again, and again and again. This is how Lunar Soundings actually began.
In order to deepen my learning and help me to process my reconnection to sound, I enrolled with the College of Sound Healing and spent 2 years training under their guidance, initially in vocal Sound Healing and then also to become a Gong Practitioner. Despite being an incredibly sensitive Intuitive, I am also an extremely practical and grounded human ~ and I love to learn, further my knowledge and expand and develop my skills.... so I can then embody this within my practice.
As we enter this New Age upon the Earth, so many people are feeling the call to raise their vibrations and clear their energy fields of old programs and limiting beliefs. This might come in the form of physical symptoms, reoccurring emotions, or persistent negative thought patterns. It might be a heightened sensitivity, or a feeling of being stuck or lost.
There is so much flux and change in the outer world, that we may easily feel unbalanced and out of control. Affected by everything going on around us, feeling pushed and pulled and often not understanding why or what we can do about it. Never before in our lifetimes has it felt more important to create harmony within ourselves. To practice self care. To rest. To ground and centre ourselves. To connect with nature. To nurture all aspects of ourselves - the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. And to feel supported and be guided when we need it.
I truly believe that working with sound is one of the most powerful and transformation tools available to us at this time. Recognising this incredible potential and BEcoming the sound conduit that I am has been a Homecoming for me. A recognition of my role here on Earth at this incredible time, and an understanding of the support I can offer to others too.
My passion is supporting people to navigate this soul's journey within the physical body that we are all currently undertaking.
To surrender to the sound and allow it to flow through me, for the highest good of all.
To BE freedom harmonics.
Whatever you need right now to create that harmony within, whether that be gentle hand-holding through to dynamic activation, then I am here to guide you. We are all individuals and won't all benefit from the same support. I completely respect where you are in your journey and I will meet you there.... with love, compassion and an open heart.
"I just wanted to share with you the news that the last IVF was successful and I am nearly 13 weeks pregnant! I had a scan yesterday and all seems well. I just really wanted to thank you as I listened to my personal sounding every day whilst I was going through the IVF process and I feel that it really helped. In fact since I met you last year I believe the soundings have cleared feelings for me that I am not good enough and that I don’t deserve happiness. Now I am more open to the good times and something magical has happened"

"it's tricky to put into words what the sound healings Ali has conducted for me have brought to my being. Liberating, Healing, Supportive, Awakening - these are the words that most come to mind. Each session gave me the space to allow my conscious mind to relax and not get involved in analysing what was happening or risk expectation to influence the beauty of what unfurled. Sometimes I felt the sessions were healing deep within, other times the sounding seemed to support energetic changes within me. I believe it works on all layers of our energy body and transcends the usual barriers we sometimes encounter in our healing modalities. I am intrigued before each session, and feel centred and amazed after. Ali is gifted and true of heart and spirit."

"As it started I realised I was crying, although I was not aware of any emotion. I had the impression of a padlock being blown off.... I guess it was time! Fairly near the beginning I had a very strong physical release, followed by me wailing at the top of my voice, so loud I couldn't hear your voice any more. The wailing was followed by full on laughter that went on for a while. Towards the end I was aware of energy around my base chakra, then energy round my throat and tongue, then my third eye/brow chakra. I can still feel it coursing through my body. I am feeling a deep joy and still have a smile on my face."
