Ali Gunning - sound and yoga therapist, holder of sacred space and retreat facilitator

I came to the mystical element of sound through my yoga trainings in India, over 14 years ago now, fascinated (and challenged) by mantra and the power of voice. I went on to specialise in working with the majestic gong for self healing and meditation. 

Sound has been the guiding thread of my journey through various studies and initiations. I am a member of the College of Sound Healing and have undertaken over 2,500 hours of diverse training and CPD in the healing arts. But, for me, living and breathing it matters more than any qualifications. It is the daily practise and connection to the sacred which helps me ground, give and grow authentically.

I am dedicated to sharing the medicine of sound, breath, movement, cacao and nature connection which can bring transformation into our lives, in ways that are both practical and profound. This has certainly been my own experience and my intention is to hold authentic, safe and loving spaces for others to connect with a deep inner well of being which holds healing and wisdom.

I’ve travelled and studied in India and Nepal and explored London and Hertfordshire on a house boat. In the last 7 years I’ve been more about putting down roots and am now located on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, where ancient, elemental energies feed my soul. The sound temple we created here has evolved into a thriving sound therapy practice and a base for mentoring and training.

My partner and I also host personal retreats for women and couples, our earthy 170 year old cottage creating a safe nest in which to sink deep. With reverence, we bring together what we have learned from the East with the wisdom of this land, elements and seasons.

If you would like to work with me please be in touch.

Blessed Be. Namaste. With Love. Ali x

 
A few words that encapsulate Ali for me - grounded, presence, acceptance, inclusive, compassionate, authentic, visionary, wise, connected, kind, loving, generous, transparent, clear boundaries, prepared, motivated, conscientious and self-practice. What an absolute blessing to have Ali as a teacher, guide, beacon of light and sacred space holder!!!

Healers of Ali’s nature are few and far between. If you get chance to work with her in person I highly recommend it. Authentic offerings that includes yoga, meditation and sound work. Just beautiful.
