As soon as I saw Laurie’s Reiki and Celtic Energy Healing retreat advertised I knew it was for me. The experience exceeded all of my expectations. Laurie offered an intimate, beautiful space which I shared with 4 other lovely ladies. We were all totally nourished from the inside out, and provided with a safe space to share and support each other.
At one point when first practising on others, I became unsure, and Laurie put me straight at ease and instinctively knew what I needed. The attunement she gave was the most incredible experience, I can’t wait for Reiki 2 now. Even though I may never practice on others, to be able to practice on myself and my family is a gift I’ll never be able to repay 💗 She also gifted us all with a reference guide and a journal to record our journey, which I thought was really lovely.
The space Laurie and her family have created at the Barn Temple truly is very special, I can’t wait to attend her foraging workshops and women’s circles too. Thank you so much Laurie for your love, guidance and support 💗

Laurie's soundbaths are a beautiful experience. She is calm, warm and professional. She guides you through the experience gently and reassuringly, allowing you to relax into the experience and soak up the vibrational healing, leaving you revived and renewed. Just perfect!

The barn temple is the most beautiful, calm and tranquil place. I’ve attended the sound bath, reiki and tea ceremony most months in 2024 and it is the best 2 hours of the month! I’ll look forward to another year of this wonderful experience in 2025.

I have had the pleasure of joining classes at The Barn Temple and what a beautiful space it is. Beautifully decorated so that you immediately feel at peace when you walk through the door. The sessions I have attended with Laurie have been very relaxing and I usually fall asleep during the sound healing classes. I highly recommend. Thank you Laurie.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for bringing me into a safe space and cleansing all doubts I had at first. For me personally I can be quite nervous, however the atmosphere, people and experience allows you to accept you're in good hands. When settled in and relaxed you feel a form of fulfillment within you - which continues after you leave the practice. I'd highly recommend to anyone to experience The Barn Temple.

Thanks Laurie for such a special day, lots of opportunities given to truly connect with our energies and plenty of guidance. An intimate sized group with plenty of time for discussion and sharing. Truly grateful and inspired by this perfect day <3

An enlightening, profound and uplifting day spent with like-minded souls. Let Laurie guide you in discovering your true self and developing an ongoing practice which will benefit both you, and others. The small group size ensures a personal experience, with practical assignments and plenty of discussion, nothing is rushed. Thank you Laurie and fellow souls for sharing your wisdom and guidance. I look forward to Reiki 2!

What a lovely space Laurie holds here - Iv wanted to visit the Barn Temple for so long now and so happy I finally made the effort to visit. This class is so dreamy and listening to Laurie guide you through the poses really brings you into yourself. I love how we are moving with the seasons and listening to Laurie's words really speaks to the heart. I find this industry pretty loud these days and hard to find genuine people so if you want to feel safe, held and understood I could not recommend enough .Thank you Laurie.

I recognise that each woman's experience with this practice will be unique to individual women, your circumstances, what you're reaching for, and who you are as a person will all shape your personal connection with a womb massage.

The practice itself was holding and nurturing the very Being of my womanhood. This was something I'd been struggling with since I stepped into my perimenopausal chapter. I'd found myself apologizing for being a woman. Being around male energy in my daily life, both young and mature, I began to wish that I was a man and that this chapter would close for me. I felt uncomfortable when my hormone levels fluctuated, and my energy altered. I felt apologetic to the male energy surrounding me, supporting me, as if I was the bad guy.

In the weeks upto this treatment I found myself exploring new ways of feeling more comfortable in this process. I looked away from medicinal intervention and towards holistic practices. My mind, body and soul were open to connecting with a new way of experiencing this moment.

The experience with Laurie allowed me to give myself permission to be a woman and unapologetically stand in this light. I learned that to move forward we must honour our womanhood and the magic that it brings to life, the emotion that flows through us, and the womanly human experience that is safe and natural to feel.

Women are all to quick to reach for a magic tablet. For some this will work but it's not for everyone.

Now, when I feel energy fluctuations I hold myself, I honour with gratitude all that my womb and my womanhood has given me, and I like the woman I am. I honour my body in ways that feel right.

Thank you, Laurie for giving me this space to reclaim myself.

I’ve attended many workshops and circles at The Barn Temple, including the womb wisdom workshop, the moon lodge circle, foraging and yoga classes.

Every time I come here, my heart cracks open just that little bit more, I face myself just that little bit more. I conquer my inner demons, my fears and my insecurities. A feeling of deep peace washes over my entire being as I let go and I let in the unconditional love that is ever present. I connect back to my authenticity, my truth, my power. I feel limitless and unbound; I feel free as I step beyond my edges, beyond who I think I am and beyond what I think reality is. My mind becomes quiet and all I feel is my heart beating with an endless love and gratitude, for all the love that has been put into this place and for all the inner work you have done Laurie, to be able to hold such a safe and beautiful space for us all. You have made a huge impact on my life with everything you’ve given and provided, in more ways than you can imagine. I cherish you and these spaces and I hold so much love and gratitude in my heart for you.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🙏🏻

I had three sessions with Laurie and each of them were perfectly tailored to my needs.

Laurie has an amazing gift for communicating directly, without words, straight to your core and is able to mirror that in the session. You come away feeling perfectly held and heard, more confident and comfortable with yourself.

Our last session was extremely powerful as she gently encouraged me to speak aloud the messages my womb was trying to tell me. They came through thick and fast, delighted to have finally been given the opportunity to be heard. I felt as if my voice and path forward had been miraculously revealed to me in a way impossible to ignore!

Highly recommend!

Thankyou Laurie for your gentle presence. You explained the process and answered any questions I had. You provided a safe space for me to comnect with my ancestors and womb space. I experienced a powerful transformation of energy together with a deeper connection within myself. 🙏

In a society that focuses on bouncing back to our busy lives as soon as possible after the birth of our children, it felt liberating to spend this time with Laurie, being held and nurtured and given time.

The closing of the bones was such a restorative experience for me. From the moment I stepped in to the beautiful room and took in my surroundings, I had an all encompassing feeling of calm and felt safe.

Laurie’s warm and compassionate nature is very settling and I felt such comfort and at ease as she explained the origins of closing of the bones and we began. I felt re-connected to my mind and body and all the women that have gone before me as I moved through the breath work and meditation. Each part of my body was able to relax and feel weightless as Laurie massaged and wrapped me using the rebozos. The sensation of the compression was comforting and my body felt completely supported and held.

It has been a few days since I had the closing of the bones done and I still feel the effects on my mood and spirit, feeling a deep sense of calm and I feel more confident which I hadn’t expected. The opportunity to really sit with yourself, honour your body, ask how you are feeling in your heart and womb and honour yourself for all that you are and all you have done in creating life and being a mother, is just so powerful and I feel I am stepping more in to my own power since this wonderful experience.

I attended my first Full Moon, womb circle last night. It was beautiful. The barn temple has a welcoming and gorgeous energy, like walking into a warm hug. The circle was supportive, inspiring and even though I had not met the other women before, it felt like coming home. I will be back for sure. Laurie you are an angel x
