In many ways I wish I’d discovered mentoring as I navigated my way from training into building a practice. Yet maybe I was meant to do it the long way, in order to share my learnings! Over time yoga teachers began approaching me to offer mentoring and ongoing support. Later, the same happened with sound practitioners; birthing a 6 month mentoring programme.
Enriching and empowering your gifts
I’ve learned that my style of working (in general, not just with sound) is intuitive and responsive. Yet I appreciate the need to balance planning with flow, to make my work sustainable and continue to nourish myself. I feel very blessed to have a background in marketing which helps me navigate ‘authentic promotion’, possibly one of the most challenging areas of running a wellness business. I continue to update my training in practical areas such as SEO and sound therapy research in order to support my growing mentoring community.
While sharing my experiences, mistakes, tips and resources is a big part of it, the overall intention of mentoring is to empower you to explore and refine your own way of working, creating, sounding, sharing…

“I started the mentoring programme with Ali just as I moved my work online and stepped into all new uncharted territory. It was like starting out all over again, with a whole new skillset to learn and a new way of holding space. Ali’s support was immeasurable, making time to join my sessions and provide helpful feedback as well as always being there to talk to about the challenges I was working through. Ali has a wonderful way of offering authentic, constructive reflections and advice, never pushing, but assisting in looking with fresh eyes and enabling me to make choices and changes as feels right for me. This is where Ali’s magic really comes through. ”

“Ali is a wonderful, caring and kind soul who is gifted with her ability to heal with her voice and is a magic weaver of sounds with her beautiful Gongs, bowls, flutes and other therapeutic instruments. She has many years experience of holding space for others in a gentle, non judgemental way, on a personal level (during 121 sessions and group sessions) but also professionally as a mentor, generously sharing her time, energy and learnings. ”
— C.E. Herefordshire
“Ali tailored the programme to suit my needs, and we covered many different areas of my work. She has guided me in looking at the shape and direction I would like my work to take, to help me shift from coasting along to having a more focussed approach to my work. This is helpful in terms of managing my time more wisely to avoid burnout and being more objective in considering opportunities that come my way to decide if something is right for me. ”
