I have been involved with the centre for thirty-seven years, the first two years as a patient and the rest as a healer. When I first walked into the centre I had such a sense of knowing it was right for me in every way. The healing I received helped me so much that I knew I wanted to give something back. To be able to be used to give healing is the most humbling experience. The feeling that you get when a client says they have improved is the best reward. I am so grateful to be doing the work.

I came to the centre more than twenty-five years ago, first for healing for myself. I entered a different world and knew immediately that this was where I needed to be. The help that I was given – and the subsequent training to become a healer – changed my life, and I feel blessed to be part of the centre. As you enter its doors there is a sense of peace and acceptance found in very few other places. The healers are kind and empathetic, gentle and non-judgemental and it is wonderful to see how each patient receives the help they need.

I’ve been a healer with Sylvan Sanctuary for over thirty years. An interest in energy healing led me to the Sanctuary where I had the good fortune to be trained by working alongside several extremely experienced teachers/healers until I was ready to work alone. I continue to find this work fascinating as each client is so individual, each with his or her own life experiences, struggles, illnesses, stresses and beliefs, each seeking upliftment from whatever ails them. It remains a privilege to work with every client, whatever their needs, giving healing and support and the fact that many report improvements to their health or to their life situations become very rewarding.

I first visited The Sylvan Healing Centre around thirty-five years ago, as a patient, and found the healing together with the atmosphere of peace and calm truly beneficial. Having benefited myself and seen the positive results around me I felt that I would like to train as a healer in order to give other people the support and hands on healing that I had experienced. The healing work has truly been a remarkable journey together with meeting our patients and seeing them improve over time is also very rewarding for all. The centre is for me a very special place.

I have been at the centre for about twelve years, after about forty years of various forms of involvement in other areas. My role as a healer here is to help and comfort those who are in need of care and love. I recognise the gift that has been afforded me, the opportunity to help people smile again with less pain, and that my connection to spirit strengthens my belief that love can continue to conquer the problems of the world.

I became a healer 27 years ago. My brother and father passed away within a few years of each other. While my father was ill I found a spiritual healing centre in Barnet and received healing . The healing had a profound effect on me and changed my life. I trained with the National Federation of Spiritual Healing . My work as a healer has been a hugely rewarding part of my life I joined the Sylvan Healing Centre 7 years ago, which in itself has been a wonderful healing experience.

I first came to the sanctuary thirty years ago, searching for answers to questions. In hindsight I don’t think I even knew what the questions were. I was invited to join, and to learn to be a healer. Little by little, I immersed myself into understanding. I learned to be with the energy that is channeled through a healer, whilst at the same time supporting and being with people experiencing complex and often life-threatening illnesses. These people would come to the healing centre in search of their own answers to where they were in life. It has been an amazing journey to be part of the constantly evolving and deeply humbling work that takes place at the centre, and I feel privileged to be able to be a constant support to so many people.

I have been working in the centre for just over twenty years now. I was lead there due to my own ill health and have since been on my own healing journey. My role within the centre is as a receptionist. I meet patients for the first time, welcoming them and making them feel as comfortable as possible before they have their healing session. I am available for any questions they may have about healing or any other matters relating to it. I feel privileged to work and be part of the Sylvan Healing Centre and to be able to meet and help others. I appreciate the genuine and deep care for humanity which runs through all aspects of the centre. I enjoy listening to others and contributing in some way to their well-being and health.
