Alison Vaughan,

I have been a practitioner of intuitive healing techniques for seven years and during this period my healing has varied in many ways. I have developed a number of healing techniques that evolved from my own inner sensing. Self discovery gave me insight into how effective these techniques work. Combining colour and energy healing, I feel is a very holistic way for treating many conditions. I have been using this form of healing for many years with consequent positive results.

For the past 3 years I have been working at MIND giving healing to many women who access the women only clinic. I have previously been working at Stratford Oaks Golf Club and Fitness Suite, am also a therapist with the NFU and am now looking forward to joining the team at Salus. I also offer 20 minute stress buster treatments, Indian Head Massage combined with energy healing and am pursuing a course in Hypnotherapy and NLP.
