“Taking part in the training has been a deeply transformative journey that has profoundly impacted my life on so many levels.⁠

The course not only gave me practical tools to work with energy, spirit, and healing, but it also awakened parts of myself I hadn’t accessed in years — intuition, clarity, and a sense of connection to something far greater than myself.⁠

⁠Through the teachings, I’ve learned how to trust my inner wisdom, connect with my guides, and bring healing into both my personal life and the lives of others.⁠

I feel more grounded, empowered, and spiritually aligned.⁠

I’m so grateful to Sue and Mike for holding such a safe, respectful, and powerful space.”⁠

Paul

Psychotherapist, Brigend

“Sue’s training was completely life-changing across all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. Not only did I begin to learn the ancient arts of energy healing and shamanic practice, but it was also a profound journey of self-healing and remembering.

Through navigating my own wounds I was encouraged to step out of stories and patterns of abuse and victimhood and step into my own power.

The course and teachings enabled me to develop discernment, trust and confidence in my own abilities and self-love. I also gained a very impressive tool kit, a deep and powerful relationship with my guides and a whole new shamanic family and community.

Sue holds an impeccable space of 100% pure light. I’d consider her training to be a benchmark for anyone else wishing to hold sacred ceremonial healing space for others.” 

Anita Brulee,

Artist, Healer, Chocolatier, London.

Andreea

Massage therapist, London

I have the pleasure and the opportunity to have Sue Holmes as my teacher and guide for the last year during Advanced Shamanic Practitioner & Energy Healer course. My personal growth during this period has been incredible, moving me mentally, emotionally, physically and of course spiritually to another level of existence.⁠

The course has been the main key to this growth. It’s an epic, fast-moving, energetic journey, in an amazingly held space!⁠

I am so grateful for the knowledge and integrity of this beautiful teacher & now friend, Sue Holmes.

Katy Emblin

Shamanic Energy Healer, UK & Spain

Sue’s course goes into great detail and depth on how to speak with and hold space for clients who have had severe trauma.

She provides a clear framework for the healing methods. I had done some shamanic training previously, but I definitely feel more prepared and confident to work with clients now.

The course assignments also encouraged me to express myself creatively, so this important aspect of my shamanic practice has flourished.’
