Sybil Clayton
Hopi Ear Candling & Reflexology
Originally from Edinburgh, I have lived in Hungerford for 21 years. I am married with one daughter. Eight years ago I discovered the amazing benefits derived from Reflexology and the pure joy in giving this treatment. I am delighted to be associated with Gaia and hope that through my therapy work, combined with a maturity and understanding, I can help you to appreciate the healing power of your own body and mind and the significance of self-responsibility.
In 2001 I gained my Diploma from the School of Holistic Reflexology in Marlborough and The Association of Reflexologists. I have also completed a course at The Oxford School of Reflexology in conjunction with Soul Energy to enable me to give Thermo Auricular Therapy (Hopi Ear Candling). I am a fully insured member of the AoR.
Reflexology is my passion. It is based on the principal that all the organs and glands in the body are represented on the soles of the feet and hands. By gentle massage and light pressure to the reflexes this encourages the body to reach ‘homeostasis’ – the complete balance of body, mind and spirit.
Reflexology is known to reduce stress – and approximately 75% of all disease is stress related. It is of benefit to any age group – young or elderly – healthy or otherwise. Although it is a wonderfully relaxing treat, it also helps with a wide range of ailments including:
Backache, headaches, insomnia, asthma, anxiety, oedema, IBS, PMS, menopause, digestive problems and arthritic aches and pains and much more…..
Reflexology will stimulate an under-active area and calm an over-active one whilst remaining harmless to an area already functioning as it should.
Hopi Ear Candling (Thermo Auricular Therapy) has been used by many cultures as an effective natural therapy since ancient times. It was originally used as an Indian Relaxation Ceremony. Today, the candling is used to calm nerves, encourage the removal of wax from the ears, relieve sinusitis, headaches, tinnitus, loss of hearing, poor balance, insomnia and a range of head related problems.
Never underestimate the healing power of your own body.

Anneliese Benzie
Nutritionist BA(Hons), FdSc, DipION, mBANT
After four years of study at the renowned Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London (www.ion.ac.uk) Anneliese qualified as a nutritional therapist. She is a full member of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) which imposes a strict Code of Ethics and Practice on its members.
Anneliese works with a variety of clients, including those with health problems that conventional medicine finds difficult to treat and those who are in good health but would like to give their diet an ‘MOT’.
Anneliese’s approach is to meet with you and understand your needs through careful questioning and research. She will then develop a unique eating and lifestyle programme just for you. Anneliese is a realist and appreciates that most of us lead busy lives which are often shaped by deeply rooted habits. There is nothing faddy about her approach and she offers full support along the way.
Nutrition
Nearly 2500 years ago Hippocrates said "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food". The Ancient Greek physician argued that the body must be treated as a whole and not a series of parts. Today the volume of scientific evidence supporting the importance of diet and nutrition in the prevention and treatment of disease is growing rapidly.
What is Nutritional Therapy?
In essence, the basic principles of Nutritional Therapy are to identify the underlying cause of the health concern and ensure the body is receiving all it needs to repair and rebalance itself. Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself. Sometimes it just needs a little push in the right direction to let it happen.
Nutritional Therapy uses bespoke programmes for diet and lifestyle to alleviate or prevent illness and promote optimal health. Recognition that we are all unique individuals is key to constructing a successful programme, and careful consideration is given to your unique circumstances.
Why Nutritional Therapy?
Every single part of our body is constructed from the food we eat, from our skin and hair to our bones and brain! Food also provides fuel for our body and enables it to function and survive.
We need three basic macro nutrients in large amounts:
Protein for growth, repair and a healthy metabolism
Carbohydrate for energy
Fat for insulation, hormone production, nerve protection and energy
We also need smaller amounts of micro nutrients, these include:
Vitamins
Minerals
Amino acids
Essential fatty acids
Phyto-nutrients (found in plants)
The balance of macro and micro nutrients is essential to good health and if compromised then systems can stop working properly, hormones and brain chemicals cannot be produced and repair processes slow whilst aging accelerates.
Who can benefit from Nutritional Therapy?
Common health concerns that may benefit include:
- Weight Management
- Sports Nutrition
- Fatigue/Low Energy
- PCOS
- PMS
- Stress
- Frequent Colds or Infections
- Cystitis and or Thrush
- Hormonal Problems
- Fertility & Menopause
- Men's Health
- Digestive complaints (Bloating; Constipation; Diarrhoea)
- Cost
- Initial Consultation (60 mins) £48
- Follow-up Consultation (45 mins) £35

Clairee` Colston
Professional Psychic Medium
Clairee` has had "a gift" all her life and has been training and working professionally as a psychic medium for almost 6 years. Clairee` had a psychic development mentor for three years and has continued with her psychic development, working on her own with her guides and teachers on a spiritual level.
Clairee` offers the following tuition on a one to one basis or via workshops.
Psychic medium
- Psychic readings This provides the opportunity for the 'querent' (the asker) to look ahead into particular areas in their lives. This is a card based reading. Clairee` use three sets of cards and connect with spiritual guides and teachers, to examine the querent as a whole, to look into finding the answers they need and provide guidance on how to get there.
For example: you may want help with relationships, work, family, money, etc. This reading helps to bring clarity, understanding, focus and more positivity into your life.
- Medium readings This reading focuses on making contact with the spirit world and bringing the querent and that world closer together. Clairee` works strongly with her spiritual guides and teachers to bridge the gap formed when a loved one has passed over.
This can be a very rewarding and healing process as it revalidates our relationships with the people we have lost and also gives the spirits the opportunity to pass back a message that could not be done before on the earthly plain.
- Spiritual path readings These are beneficial for both spiritually minded and non-spiritually minded people. This reading gives clarity into now and why you are the person you are today, and how your past lives may still be effecting your current one.
Working very closely with spiritual guides and teachers, Clairee` and the querent together examine where the querent may be heading and looking into and recognising any un-tapped potential. This is excellent if you feel like you've lost your way in life. This can help you find your path and help to bring you back on track.
- Psychometry This reading involves working very closely with familiar objects such as jewellery, clothing, photos, etc. It provides the opportunity to find out more about the person it belonged to and can bring the solutions to unanswered questions.
This process is used strongly in my medium based readings. If the querent wishes to contact a specific individual, greater clarity can be achieved through the use of their personal artefacts. (Clairee` does not normally use photos in medium readings, though any other object is fine. This is up to the querent's personal preference).
- Tarot
Using a 15 card spread, Clairee` examines the past three months of the querent’s life as well as the next twelve months of the oncoming year. The querent can have a general tarot reading where they look at all aspects or alternatively focus on one particular area of their life.
- Angel guidance
A very beautiful spiritual reading can be achieved purely through the interaction with angels. This reading is very good for calming the soul, letting go and being able to understand why the querent may be struggling or hurting.
It is especially good for people suffering with low self esteem or low energy. Working very closely with the angels, Clairee` can help bring to you the messages you need to help you move on with more positivity and renewal.
This reading also allows you to look at any blockages in your chakras and aura and how you can remedy that with love and light from the angels.
Workshops
- Chakra cleansing (available as workshops or on a one to one basis)
We often hold onto negative situations in our lives and unfortunately end up carrying them around with us for a long time. In this process, we examine the seven chakra points in our bodies and how they can become blocked through this negativity. We learn how to finally free ourselves of these blockages.
This is a healing process that helps us feel renewed, refreshed and positive. It is a meditative and visualistic based therapy which also helps you to relax in general.
Attendees are given an information pack to take home afterwards which enables them to integrate the use of chakra cleansing into their everyday life and prepare you for any next stage in you individual spiritual development.
- Meet your guides
This workshop follows the chakra cleansing workshop in which you have learned to integrate grounding, cleansing and positivity, making you ready to receive your spiritual guides and teachers.
Here, we work with meditation and visualisation to ‘connect-in’ with our spiritual guides and teachers and to teach you how to connect-in with them on various levels. This is a very rewarding process and gives you the opportunity to ask your guides any questions you wish to be answered. - Psychic development
It is possible to have lessons to find out if you have any " gifts". You may feel you have a "gift" already and wish to pursue it. Or you are already practicing in using a "gift" and wish to be with like minded people to practice it in a safe, secure environment.
All the areas are covered from cleansing to connecting-in, from guides to angels and from spirit world to crystals.
Future Workshops
- Psychic art
Ever wondered what your spiritual guide looks like? As a workshop or on a one to one basis, using psychic and artistic skills, Clairee` can help put on paper what your spiritual teacher looks like. This may help you become closer to them. Good for visualistic based therapies when connecting with your guides as a focal point.
- Meditation a deeper understanding
A workshop based therapy for individuals to come and learn how to meditate and to have the opportunity to relax and let go. It will also give you the opportunity of learning how to practice the process at home using music and tools. - Colour therapy
In this workshop you learn how to integrate colour into your life for healing and positivity, and how chakras colours can impact your environment. We will look at crystals, candles, clothes and decorating with different colours.

Laura Nutley
Reiki Master, Tarot Card Reading and Pyschic Development Teacher
What is Holistic Healing?
Holistic healing means taking a holistic approach when seeking treatment for imbalances and choosing to live a more balanced lifestyle. What primarily distinguishes holistic healing is that physical health is not necessarily the main focus. Even so, it is often the experience of physical discomfort that will first prompt a person's pursuit of holistic healing. Holistic healing is not an "alternative" to conventional medical care. Sometimes going to a medical professional is the best solution to addressing a disease.
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a combination of two Japanese words rei and ki meaning universal life energy. Reiki is a laying-on of hands healing technique that uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. This healing art is an effective delivery system. The Reiki practitioner serves as a vessel that supplies healing energies where they are most needed. Reiki's ki-energies flow out of the practitioner's body through the palms of the hands while they are touching the recipient's body.
Crystal Therapy and Reiki
A form of vibration medicine, crystal therapy involves the application of crystals or gemstones to facilitate healing. When used in conjunction with Reiki they help amplify the energy and add their own vibration signature to the treatment. Different crystals and colours correspond to different chakras and can help harmonize the body’s energy system.
Quartz crystal singing bowls and Sound Healing
Vibration and Sound Therapy is starting to make inroads into the medical community. For example, sound waves are now used to break up kidney and gallstones whilst in the body. Quartz crystal singing bowls utilize crystal healing properties and the benefits of sound. When an organ or part of the body is vibrating ‘out of tune’ with the rest of the body it causes dis-ease. Quartz singing bowls help to clear blockages and restore harmony by creating a vibration sound field that resonates with a person’s energetic and physical body.
Some scientifically verified effects of sound healing are: reduced blood pressure, reduced heart rates, reduced depression, reduced pain, reduced migraines, 25% decrease in stress hormone (cortisol) levels, increased immune cell activity, better sleep patterns and higher statistical odds for recovering from serious illnesses and diseases.
Other benefits from regular use include: Improved energy and vitality, overcoming negative patterns and addictions, improved outlook and positivity, improved sense of well-being, aids emotional and spiritual growth and improves your sense of peace and balance.
These are all benefits that Reiki and Crystal Therapy can also support.
Tarot Card Readings
Tarot readings are guided by spiritual forces and our own spiritual guides and guardians as well as by our higher conscious and sub conscious minds. They can help us see the patterns unfolding in our lives and help us to understand where we have come from and where we are going to. Tarot readings do not show an absolute future, but they do help us to see where our current patterns will take us and therefore give us the insight to direct our lives in the way that we want.
I am an experienced tarot reader and use a combination of the cards, my psychic ability and spiritual guides to help answer your questions and provide a picture of the events and energies influencing your life.
As well as offering full length, two spread individual readings at Gaia (40-60 mins for £20), I can also visit you for a Tarot party. Please enquire at the shop or visit my website at www.forbidden-worlds.com for details.
