The work
You know something needs to shift. You just haven't found the right support yet.
Maybe you've tried things that helped a bit but didn't quite reach the root. Maybe life has knocked you sideways and you're ready to do the deeper work. Maybe you're simply curious — you sense there's more to you than you've been living, and you want to find out what that is.
That's where I come in.
I'm Emma. I work with people who are ready to move — out of old patterns, old pain, old stories that have overstayed their welcome. My practice draws on over two decades of training across shamanic traditions, energy healing, and trauma-informed approaches, woven into something that's genuinely mine, and shaped entirely around you.
I work in person in the Xàtiva area of Valencia, Spain — and remotely with people across the UK and beyond.
What I offer isn't a formula. It's a real conversation, real presence, and real work — the kind that actually changes things.
About Emma
I came to this work the way most healers do — through my own need for it. I grew up carrying wounds I didn't yet have words for, and spent decades finding my way back to wholeness. That path took me through 25 years in adult education — teaching and holding space for people others had written off — and deep into shamanic and energy healing traditions across multiple lineages.
I'm based in the Valencia region of Spain. I work with people locally and remotely. I believe that every human who finds their way back to themselves creates a little less harm in the world — and I find that worth showing up for, every single day.
Healing sessions
All sessions begin with a free 30-minute consultation — a real conversation to see if we're the right fit for each other. No obligation, no pressure.
Fee: £100 / €120 per session · Sessions run approximately 2–3 hours
Financial challenges should never be a barrier to receiving healing. I offer a sliding scale, reduced-rate spaces, and am open to skills' exchange. If cost is a concern, please reach out — we'll find a way.
Please note that all sessions include homework — integration practices designed to help the healing take root in your body and life.
The following are examples of the healings available — every session is tailored to your needs.
Ongoing development
A monthly online group to strengthen your intuitive abilities, develop clairvoyance, clairsentience, and mediumship, and deepen trust in your inner knowing. Four sessions per month.

Transformational
Immersive, small-group experiences drawing on shamanic tradition, ancient wisdom, and practical spiritual tools. Each one is designed to be lived, not just learned. Available in person in Xàtiva or remotely for selected workshops.
Everything else in this practice begins here. The shamanic journey — a focused, intentional altered state reached through drumming and breath — is one of humanity's oldest tools for healing, guidance, and direct encounter with the unseen world. In this introductory workshop you'll learn the basic structure of a journey, experience it for yourself, and begin to develop your own relationship with this extraordinary practice. No experience necessary. Curiosity is enough.
You are more than your physical body. In this workshop we explore the chakras, the energy bodies, and the luminous field that surrounds and interpenetrates everything you are. Understanding your subtle anatomy isn't abstract — it changes how you read yourself, how you hold your own healing, and how you begin to work with others. Practical, experiential, and grounded in real tradition.
Earth, air, fire, and water are not just forces of nature — they are presences, intelligences, allies. This workshop opens a doorway into conscious relationship with the elemental world: learning to feel their qualities, work with their energies, and invite their cooperation into your healing and daily life. Expect time outdoors, stillness, and genuine encounter.
Crystals and sacred stones have been used in healing traditions across every culture and continent. In this workshop we go beyond the basics — developing a direct, felt relationship with the mineral kingdom, learning to listen before we use, and discovering how to work with stone medicine in ways that are authentic, respectful, and effective.
The plant world is ancient, intelligent, and generous — if we learn how to approach it. This workshop opens your senses to the wisdom held in trees, herbs, and growing things: through presence, through meditation, through direct relationship. Whether you work with plant medicine, forage, garden, or simply want to deepen your connection to the living world, this is a place to begin.
In shamanic traditions across the world, each person carries animal allies — guides who walk with us, lend us their qualities, and offer protection and wisdom when we need it most. Through guided shamanic journey, this workshop takes you to meet your own. Whatever arrives will be meaningful. Come with an open mind and a willingness to be surprised.
Fire transforms. It receives what we are ready to release and returns it to the great recycling of things. In sacred fire ceremony, drawn from Andean tradition, we bring our prayers, our grief, our gratitude, and our intentions — and we offer them. This is one of the most powerful practices I know. It asks nothing of you except honesty and willingness.
Our ancestors are not simply behind us — they are woven into us, present in our bodies, our patterns, our gifts, and our wounds. In this workshop we explore how to open a conscious, respectful relationship with the ancestral field: calling in those who are well and willing to support us, and beginning the work of healing the lines that need it. Drawing on shamanic tradition and ceremonial practice, this is deep, tender, and often profoundly surprising work.
The Luminous Energy Field — the radiant body that surrounds and interpenetrates your physical form — holds the imprints of everything you have lived: your wounds, your gifts, your ancestral inheritance. Drawing on Andean shamanic tradition and the pioneering work of energy medicine, this workshop explores how to perceive, work with, and support the healing of the luminous body. For those with some existing experience of energy work who are ready to go deeper.
Learning to sense and read the energy field is a practical skill — one that transforms how you understand yourself and how you work with others. In this workshop we develop your capacity to perceive the aura and the subtle bodies: through practice, through feedback, and through the particular kind of attention that opens when we slow down and really look. Accessible to beginners, genuinely useful for experienced practitioners.
In the shamanic world, the seven directions — South, West, North, East, above, below, and within — are living presences, each holding distinct medicine and wisdom. This workshop takes you on a series of guided journeys to meet the spirits and helpers of each direction, building your own inner map of the axis mundi and deepening your capacity to navigate both the seen and unseen worlds.
For those who want to build or deepen their own practice. We work with core shamanic tools — the journey, the altar, the ceremony, the body — and explore how to bring them into everyday life in ways that are sustainable and genuinely nourishing. Practical, personal, and shaped around whoever is in the room.
Death is not the opposite of life — it is part of it. And yet most of us have been given almost no tools for navigating it. In this workshop we explore death as a sacred threshold: sitting with grief, honoring those who have passed, and finding ways to work with loss that go beyond simply enduring it. Drawing on shamanic tradition and cross-cultural wisdom around dying and the afterlife, this is quiet, serious, and genuinely held work. Come as you are.
Tarot, runes, scrying, pendulum, astrology — these are not party tricks. They are languages: systems for listening to what the deeper self and the wider field already know. In this workshop we explore one or more of these traditions in depth, learning to read with integrity, clarity, and genuine intuition rather than formula.
The breath is the most immediate tool we have for transformation — and one of the most underestimated. Rebirthing breathwork uses a connected, conscious breathing technique to release held patterns in the body, move stuck energy, and access states of deep clarity and healing. Sessions can be quietly profound or dramatically releasing — often both. This workshop introduces the practice and gives you direct experience of it in a safe, held space.
Trauma does not live in the story we tell about it — it lives in the body. This workshop works with gentle, body-based approaches to help the nervous system find its way back to safety. Drawing on somatic principles and shamanic healing, we create space for what has been held to slowly loosen and move. The pace is unhurried, the container is held carefully, and each person's process is respected exactly as it is.
Tobacco is one of the most sacred plants in the Americas — a bridge between the human and spirit worlds, a carrier of prayer. In this workshop we learn to create tobacco ties in the traditional way: with intention, with respect, and with an understanding of the medicine behind the practice. Each tie becomes a living offering.
Prayer arrows are ancient tools of intention — crafted, charged, and sent out as messengers between worlds. In this workshop we make our own, working with natural materials, symbol, colour, and focused prayer to create something that carries genuine power. The process itself is the practice.
The mandala is one of humanity's oldest sacred forms — a circle that holds, organises, and reveals. In this workshop we create mandalas by hand, working with intention and presence rather than perfection. The process becomes a meditation, a mirror, and a map. What emerges on the paper often reflects something asking to be seen within.
Pricing and availability on request — workshops vary in length and format.
Background
My training has been a lifelong unfolding rather than a checklist. Every qualification here represents real time, real practice, and real transformation — my own included. I share this not to impress, but because I know some people need to see the bones of a practitioner's path before they feel safe enough to reach out. That makes complete sense to me.
25 years working in UK adult education, including literacy, ESOL, Functional Skills, teacher training, and quality assurance in Further Education. Much of that time was spent with learners others had overlooked — people who had been failed by systems not built for them. That experience shaped everything about how I hold space now.
Immersive · In person · Bixquert, Valencia
Some things can't be reached in an hour. A retreat is an invitation to step fully out of ordinary life — to arrive somewhere beautiful, slow down, and let the deeper work happen without interruption.
I host small, intimate retreats from a private space in the village of Bixquert in the hills above Xàtiva — one of the most quietly beautiful corners of Valencia. There's a pool, a private apartment, and the kind of landscape that does half the healing before we've even begun.
Each retreat is shaped around the person in it. Alongside healing sessions and ceremonial work, we move through the landscape — to waterfalls, ancient sites, wild swimming spots — and there's time and space for rest, reflection, and being held by a place that carries its own medicine.
These are not packed programmes. They are unhurried containers for genuine transformation.
Ten-month programme · September 2026 – June 2027
Bixquert · Xàtiva · Spain
This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about uncovering who you've always been — beneath the stress, the conditioning and the stories you've carried — and having the tools to keep growing for the rest of your life.
La Casita en las Estrellas is for people who are tired of feeling anchorless. Who can see the patterns they're stuck in but can't seem to shift them. Who know that something needs to change and are ready to do something about it.
You might be someone who...
This is not a guru-led programme. There is no one at the front of the room with all the answers. This is a community growing together — using ancient, time-tested practices to make real and lasting change. The tools are practical. The work is real. The community is genuine.
By the end of the programme you leave with far more than knowledge. You leave with a complete personal practice — not something borrowed, but something fully embodied and yours.
You will have...
A shared altar grows between the group — a living record of everything moved through together. Each session includes home practices to weave into everyday life. Real change doesn't happen in a session alone. It happens in the choices you make at the start of each day.
The programme moves through five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Each element has two sessions: one to meet it in the outer world, and one to take it inward — into the body's own energy system, working with the chakras and meridians, and gently unwinding the deep-rooted patterns and imprints held there that can limit your growth and sense of wellbeing.
Each element belongs to its own place in the body and its own point in the chakra system, so the breathwork and practices in that session are chosen specifically to support that area — the work always matches where we are.
Note: the December session (17th) falls a week before Christmas — worth bearing in mind when planning travel.
Across the ten sessions you build a complete personal toolkit — practical, embodied and yours to keep. It draws from ancient healing traditions and is designed to support you in daily life as well as in the moments when life feels overwhelming.
Each element also has its own essential oil blend, Hz frequency, smudging practice and crystal allies — introduced at arrival sessions and woven into home practice throughout the month.
Sessions run on the third Thursday of each month and are 2.5 hours long — including time to share, refresh and integrate together. Refreshments are provided.
The shape of each session responds to what the group brings and what came before it — nothing here is delivered to a rigid script. If you'd like to know more about how a session unfolds, I'm happy to talk it through with the group or answer it as an individual question.
Between sessions, monthly home practices carry the work into daily life — small, manageable and meaningful — so the growth lives in the ordinary moments, not just in the circle.
In person · Bixquert, Xàtiva
Sessions are held at La Casita en las Estrellas in Bixquert, in the hills above Xàtiva, Valencia. A small, intimate group — maximum 10–12 participants. The land, the hills and the campo itself are part of the programme. Barefoot on the earth where possible. The space is prepared with care before every session.
Online option
For those who cannot travel to Xàtiva, individual or small group online participation is available via Google Meet. Land-based practices are adapted — instructions are sent in advance or given as home practice after the session, so the connection to the natural world remains central wherever you are.
Pricing for Programme 1 is kept accessible as this is the founding cohort. Full details are available on enquiry — please get in touch using the form below.

I facilitate La Casita en las Estrellas myself, from my home in Bixquert above Xàtiva in the Valencia region of Spain.
I bring together years of personal practice and study across breathwork, acupressure, shamanic journeying, energy body work, the Q'ero tradition, and the elemental and chakra systems. My approach is grounded, non-hierarchical and deeply authentic — I work from the position that this is a community growing together, not a teacher delivering to students.
My own path has included real experience of trauma, and much of what I bring to this work comes from unravelling that in myself — through both lived practice and years of deeper study — rather than from theory alone. That's part of why the tools here are built to actually work in daily life, not just make sense on paper.
La Casita en las Estrellas — the little house in the stars — is my home, my land, and the space I'm building with care and intention as a place of genuine growth and healing.
Whether you have questions, want to find out more, or are ready to reserve your place — I'd love to hear from you.

Share your experienceEmma is amazing and has such a wonderful gift.
I had an online healing session with Emma and really wasn't sure what to expect or how it would work. We had a brief conversation before and exchanged some messages to think about the session and what it might involve.
I'd been through a difficult personal time and had been carrying a lot of grief, sadness and confusion, and I'm sure fear of the unknown future.
As I've said, the session was amazing. Emma made me feel safe and listened to as we entered our time together.
We started with understanding where I was — on the cusp of my 50th birthday and an emotional wreck after a breakup! Having identified my feelings, we looked to reframe them before having a tarot reading, which really did highlight where I was on my journey. We talked through the cards and Emma gave really helpful guidance on their meanings.
We then moved on to cord cutting. Emma explained how this worked, and then we went into this amazing space together to remove the cords. I have to say it really did help, in ways I can't begin to explain other than that I felt freer and lighter — more me — and disconnected from ties that no longer served me.
I was really fortunate to talk about other practices to help me ground and grow with Emma, and have looked to include them in my everyday life since.
Emma is so incredibly knowledgeable on so many aspects of healing, and I love soaking up that insight. I am really looking forward to being able to visit and have some dedicated time — hopefully — with Emma in Spain.
— ClareI recently received an ENERGY ENHANCER healing from Emma. I wasn't sure what to expect. I was completely empty following a period of leaking energy, trying to be all things to all people.
I was physically drained at the start of the session and by the end left the room feeling like a different person. I had a renewed sense of energy to a level that overwhelmed me.
Not only was it an impressive healing but there were built in checks to physically see how your energy has shifted throughout the healing. This too, amazed me.
I do not hesitate to recommend Emma; she is an impressive healer whose work instantly impacts upon your own wellbeing and spiritual journey.
