Shinrin

I want to begin by expressing my heartfelt thanks to everyone I’ve had the privilege of sharing a session with so far and keeping me busy, Your trust, support and openness truly mean so much to me. 🤍

From October, I’ll be offering sessions to the public on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only.
This shift will give me more space to share my healing work within the retreat setting while also allowing me time to focus on some exciting projects and developments happening here at SolaceWood.

If you’d like to book a session on a day other than Tuesday or Wednesday, please do so before October, when my new schedule begins.

I already have a small waiting list, alongside bookings with my regular clients, so if you’d like to secure a September session, I’d encourage you to reach out soon.

And if Tuesdays or Wednesdays work for you, I look forward to welcoming you and sharing a session together. ✨

Watch this space… there’s lots of exciting growth happening here at SolaceWood, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon. 🌿

Nestled amidst the trees, Shinrin rests gently on the forest floor, grounded.
No concrete foundation, only the earth, the floor, and our feet...

Do you want to feel grounded, at peace, reset and renewed?

Sessions to do just that available here 🌱

I am in complete awe of how this place has transformed me—not just as a therapist, but as a human being.

It has given me the space to truly face myself, to heal old wounds, and to open my heart again to receive.

Almost every session here ends the same way. I "That was truly beautiful," often with tears with smiles or wrapped in the longest, most heartfelt hug. And then... we simply sit together in silence.

That pause is something I've always wanted to bring into my work. This place invites it effortlessly. Its ancient land, sacred energy, and quiet wisdom hold us.

I've had the honour of holding space for profound healing and witnessing life-changing transformations. This is the work I've always dreamed of doing—not to fix or save, but to walk beside people as they heal, reconnect, and begin again.

I feel deeply humbled to be a healer upon this living Gaia, listening to her wisdom, allowing her to move through me, and sharing that healing with those who are called to it.

My heart is so full of gratitude.
And for all the trust and for helping me create my dream, I thank you.

And

We all welcome you here ✨️🪄💚

My practice has evolved into a truly bespoke experience, intuitively tailored to your needs in the present moment. Each session weave together Kansa wands, my healing hands, tuning forks, healing music, and immersive sound therapy, with every element guided by what will best support you on the day.

I have found that the depth and spaciousness this work now deserves can no longer be fully honoured within a 60-minute appointment. To ensure each client receives an unhurried and complete experience.

90-minute and 120-minute sessions, available from August.

Enquiries and bookings are now open if you feel the calling...

Let the journey begin. Take time for you, you deserve it✨️🪄

“‘Well, you’re a bit talented—and connected,’ he said, turning over. Then, with a great chuckle, he stretched his whole body, a broad smile spreading across his face as he opened his arms toward the ancient woodland.
"You are truly gifted. I feel buzzing and totally reset"

I don’t follow routines. I don’t wear a uniform, and I don’t wear shoes. What I do is surrender completely to all that I have learned and to my intuition, tuning in to the energy around me—the vibrations of the tools, the music, nature, and ultimately, to you. I hold a space entirely for you, so that afterward, you may feel renewed, aligned, and refreshed.

If you feel called to begin a journey, you may choose to leave something behind here or take something with you, creating space for the wonderful things that are coming your way and opening yourself to receive them.

When even the hens come here to rest...🐔✨🌿

Ma hennie girlies are completely obsessed with Shinrin. If you've been for a session, you'll probably understand why.

Animals are wise when it comes to finding places where they feel safe, calm and relaxed. More often than not, you'll find these girls stretched out in the sunshine or snoozing peacefully, completely at ease in the space.

There's something special about a place that invites such deep rest. The woodland has a gentle, healing quality that encourages us all to slow down, soften and simply be.

If you'd like to experience some of that peace for yourself, I have a few spaces available in July.

Hopefully, ma gorgeous girlies they will give up their favourite spot. 🐔🌿💚

What kind of massage therapy do I offer?

I describe myself as an Intuitive Kansa Wand Massage Therapist.
The intuitive aspect is at the heart of everything I do. It is the ethos behind my work and, after nearly 20 years in practice, I have developed a deep trust in that process. I've learned to fully surrender to the guidance that comes through each session, allowing every treatment to unfold in its own unique way.

For many years, I dreamed of creating a healing space that would support this work, and I found that at Shinrin. It is a place where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors seem to soften; where glass invites the beauty and healing energy of nature inside. The space itself becomes part of the experience.
The power, insight, and guidance that emerge during massage sessions continue to amaze me. No two treatments are ever the same. Each one is a unique journey, shaped by what you need in that moment.

During our time together, I allow myself to fully tune into you. Through gentle touch, the Kansa wand, vibration, sound, stillness, and presence, I create a safe and nurturing space where you can relax, reconnect, and access your own healing wisdom.

My intention is not simply to provide a massage, but to offer an experience that supports balance, restoration, and a deeper connection to yourself.

What has been your experiences here at Shinrin, I'd be so grateful to hear or just the love button 🌱☺️💚

I was born in Hopeman and the sea was everything I knew. I’d never not seen it before moving into the forest.

Many know me as Dolphin Del — taking people out to see dolphins, dressing and swimming like a mermaid, paddleboarding, and living for beach sunsets.

But through every chapter of life, I’ve always done massage… 25 years of it.

Helping people feel lighter, calmer, and more themselves again has always been part of who I am.
Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to do what I love. 💛

But today a change of scenery to my fav spot, and reminiscing about what's led me here to build and create Shinrin, and I think it shows.☺️

Just the tonic on my self care rest day ✨️

Held by Nature: The Healing Power of Touch Therapy.

Touch therapy in nature creates a sacred exchange between body, spirit, and environment. The healing touch of another person becomes intertwined with the quiet medicine of the earth, reminding us that we are not separate from but deeply connected to it.

Through presence, compassion, and touch, something powerful awakens—a sense of belonging, of being held, and of remembering that healing often happens when connection is restored, both within ourselves and with the living world around us.

Here, my hands and wand upon you are guided with love, spirit, and honour. Each session is held with intention, creating a true spiritual connection—not only between souls, but with the healing energy of nature itself.

In this sacred space, you are supported, nurtured, and gently guided back to balance.

This is what we bring to you—an experience of connection, healing, and renewal, where touch, spirit, and the heart of nature come together as one.
