the healing benefits
Freeman Healing is for men and women of all ages and younger people too. Several sessions of counselling, chakra healing and/or ancient shamanic healing can help to bring profound and lasting changes. For some people one session is enough.
Freeman Healing's combined approach of counselling, chakra healing and/or ancient shamanic healing, can help you to overcome many physical, mental and emotional conditions, including:
- Physical symptoms such as headaches / migraines, low back pain, cystitis, digestive disorders, menstrual problems, and disease. These may flare up with stress, however they may also appear for seemingly no reason.
- Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, tension, anger outbursts and low self-esteem / confidence.
These symptoms may be more apparent in stressful times but may also appear for no apparent reason.
- Emotional trauma following major surgery, including for cancer, a mastectomy or hysterectomy.
For more support following a hysterectomy visit The Hysterectomy Association which provides support and information to women across the world.
- Post-trauma symptoms such as insomnia, nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks etc.
- You have a strong sense (or know) that you experienced abuse (physical, sexual or emotional).
- Feeling 'stuck in a rut' and frightened of change.
- Feeling as if part of you is 'missing' and you want it back.
- Feeling generally 'unsafe' or in 'fear' on this earth. This can usually be traced back to a traumatic birth, family issues, relationships, bullying, abuse or redundancy etc.
- You wish to improve your general well-being and seek help to feel happier, more joyful or in 'balance', and learn to love yourself, empower yourself and feel comfortable in your body and with your life.
- Plus many other reasons including overcoming addictions...

Healing will help you make sense of the 'patterns' playing out in your life. Healing will enrich your relationships - sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes in huge ways. Healing will put you in touch with a part of yourself that may have been locked away for years. Healing can release stuck emotions such as depression and anxiety. Healing can release trauma from the cellular memories locked in the body. Healing can reduce unpleasant physical symptoms and illnesses. Risk the healing and enjoy!
When you feel out of control with aspects of your life it can feel confusing and scary. Counselling will help you make sense of what is happening and why you feel as you do. This process alone has been described as ‘liberating’ and ‘empowering’. It is often the first stage of healing.
A counselling session costs £45 for up to 90 minutes One hour sessions cost £35
There are seven chakras (Sanskrit for ‘spinning wheel of light’) of different colours located along the spine. Their function is to distribute life-giving energies to every region of the body.
For example, the first chakra at the base of the spine represents our ‘grounding’ on this earth, our sense of security and links directly to the skeleton, muscles, skin and urinary system. Anything that threatens our security – a difficult birth, caesarean section, abuse, feeling unwanted by a parent, bullying, redundancy and so on – will ripple into the first chakra and then, if unchecked into the related body parts. The result might be low back pain and/or cystitis (in the female). This is how illness begins.
Restoring the colour and spinning movement to the chakra draws the pressure out of the low back pain or cystitis. This is how healing begins. A client may or may not sense the changes in the chakra. In any event, the symptoms will begin to heal.
A chakra healing session costs £45 for up to 90 minutes
'Tip-Toe Through the Chakras' is a profoundly healing course starting in April 2008, that invites you to journey via the chakras into your body and soul. The course will be held over a 10 week period near Stroud, Gloucestershire. The 6-part course costs £199 or individual sessions can be booked at a cost of £48 each.
Shamanism is the earliest spiritual practice known to man and the word shaman comes from the Tung tribe of Siberia meaning ‘healer’ or ‘one who sees in the dark’. Our ancient ancestors developed a remarkable system of knowledge for healing, much of which is available today.
Healing procedures often include the use of a stone and/or crystal. Patsy uses a stone that was given to her by the leader of the indigenous Shuar tribe. This ancient healing stone handed down through the generations of Shuar shamans has gentle, yet powerful healing properties.
Shamanic healing procedures can help to:
- Clear the body’s cellular memories related to trauma.
- Cut the energetic ties that hold you to someone else.
- Bring back a part of you that feels missing.
- Heal a painful past life that is replaying itself in this life.
- Heal ancestral wounds. This is especially important for women who can hold up to 7 generations of wounding in their sacral area. (Note that approx.2 hours is needed for this session).
A shamanic healing session costs £45 for up to 90 minutes 1 hour sessions cost £35
"My professional journey began in the health service when I trained as a nurse and then as a community health visitor. Some years later I trained as a Counsellor and combined this with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Training) and Hypnotherapy and worked in a GP practice as a Clinical Psychologist. I saw a need for communication and assertiveness groups and organised courses which we all benefited from!
My personal life was a different matter and our 20-year marriage was falling apart. My physical body was a wreck with severe lower back pain and at one point my neck was in a brace. As often happens in difficult times my spiritual self was beginning to emerge. I was 40.
Being in relationship again wasn't easy. Part of me desired intimacy yet a bigger part was fearful. It would be some years before I discovered my childhood wounding that lay behind this pattern and that trauma memories are not just held in the mind. They are also stored deep in the cells of our body.
In 1996 I decided to turn my safe and predictable life upside down and volunteered to work in Romania. I was scared but knew this would be a positive change. Politically naive, I organised communication courses for doctors and nurses - quite a task after 50 years of communism when no one trusted anyone. I found the people so generous. After 18 months I returned to the UK, My first grandchild was due.
My own healing still felt incomplete. Then four years ago I came across shamanic healing and began my training. At last I felt I was coming home to myself. As the cellular memories of my own wounding were cleared I experienced a new sense of 'lightness' in my being. My back pain disappeared.
At the end of the training I wanted to learn more and decided to travel to South America. Somewhere I would meet the perfect shaman! In Ecuador I met the leader of the Shuar tribe and a shaman. When I explained my interests to him he invited me to stay with his community in the heart of the Amazonian jungle. He and his people were my teachers. I witnessed their deep reverence for the animals, the land and everything growing. With complete confidence in the leader I drank the hallucinogenic plant ayahuasca and met the spirits of the rainforest. My own spirit strengthened as did my trust in the universe."
