Shamanism provides the "roots" of Mark's spiritual practices and he feels that this connection with natural energies and spirits provides not only an empathy with the world around him but also a great deal of comfort and sense of self. To solidify his years of experience, he also gained a Diploma in Classical and Cross-Cultural Shamanic Studies with the Four Gates Foundation.

Mark teaches empowering techniques in Shamanic Development as well as offering guidance on working with your spirit guides or how to make your own Shamanic Drum. Deep-rooted blockages and life problems can be explored and resolved during Shamanic Healing sessions.

In 2004 Mark discovered Reiki, a therapeutic form of energy channelling and healing that originated in Japan. Having studied the first two degrees, Mark then embarked on a two-year journey of personal discovery and graduated as a Master/Teacher in traditional Western and Japanese styles of Reiki. He is pleased to offer these teachings in whichever style is more suited to your requirements as well as providing continuous support and development in the form of workshops and opportunities to share Reiki with fellow students.

Mark is available for Reiki Healing treatments and can also arrange for healing energy to be sent at a distance without the need for face-to-face contact. He is a registered Master/teacher with the UK Reiki Federation and the Reiki Association.

Mark's chosen form of divination is the Tarot, a set of picture cards that can be used to provide guidance and advice for current and future situations. Mark offers readings as well as the opportunity to learn how to read the cards and then develop your intuitive and Tarot skills further.

With a keen interest in continual professional development, Mark is currently pursuing his interests in Taoism and Oriental medicine with a 3-year practitioner's course in Shiatsu, a form of body and energy work. Mark is now in the final year of this programme, which has an emphasis on clinical experience, and is fully insured to deliver quality Shiatsu under the supervision of the Shiatsu College, London.

Mark's focus is on providing guidance, support and empowering tools. He is more than happy to discuss any relevant issue with you and find out how he can help you to move forward!

Mark also offers quality graphic and website design (this site, for example!) - details and portfolios can be found at 5elementdesign.co.uk
