about me

Fiona Smith has a background of more than 20 years in Tibetan Buddhist teachings. She considers them the heart of her work and the inspiration for her way of Being in the world.

She trained in Shamanism with the Scandinavian Centre for Shamanic Studies and embraces shamanism as a spiritual path. Fiona is a practitioner of shamanic healing, a shamanic counsellor and a shamanic gardener. She teaches a basic introductory course to shamanism and she also teaches advanced courses.

Fiona is a trained nurse, has a degree in Women's Studies with Sociology, is a qualified teacher and has studied Psychosynthesis, a transpersonal psychology. For more than 8 years she taught personal development courses to women from vulnerable backgrounds, both in prison and in the community. For 5 years she worked for an education charity as an outreach worker with young people and families in crises in Hackney.

Fiona holds a diploma in Craniosacral Biodynamics and qualified as a practitioner of biodynamic craniosacral therapy with the Karuna Institute. She is greatly inspired by the work of Franklyn Sills with whom she studied and Ged Sumner.

Fiona increasingly combines cranio work with her shamanic healing practice.
