We each bring over twenty seven years experience as group facilitators and healers. In the early 80’s we both trained in Conscious Breathwork and Andy also in Shiatsu and Ella in spiritual healing.

We met in 1987 and started working together shortly afterwards. As our work developed we specialised in the area of relationships and sexuality. We have held regular weekend, long term groups, healing camps and practitioner trainings since then. We have been personally practising the Taoist practices over the last nineteen years. We have been teaching and integrating these Taoist meditations and sexual healing practices into our work in groups and sessions for the last sixteen years.

Our practitioner trainings started as breath work trainings and have increasingly incorporated the breathwork with in-depth relationship and sexuality work and the Taoist meditations and practices. The next BP training will be our twelth long term practitioner training.

Since 1998 we have been developing the five acre site here at Avalon Permaculture Gardens as a personal growth centre where we hold a range of courses and individual sessions that give support for making real and healthy changes in life, relationships and in the world. APG provides a haven away from the busyness of modern life – a place to reconnect with nature and with yourself in a simple and direct way. It is now a feast of naturally growing orchards, gardens, meadows, native trees - a rich and natural biodiversity. Here we grow much of our own food, all in a way that supports wildlife. We produce our own energy from sun and wind. We live simply, close to the earth - with a low carbon footprint. We have recently finished self building our low impact, strawbale, timber frame, off grid ecohouse.
