The Foundation of Be Yew ...

The Yew Tree has become a symbol of my understanding of our journey through life. The concept of determination - longevity and regeneration - has been epitomised perfectly by the resilience of the Yew. In ancient times, it has been prized as a symbol of life and death, rebirth and eternal life, because of it’s sheer strength and conviction to survive. It does not depend alone on it’s trunk to stay grounded, each of its branches can become rooted once they become in contact with the earth.

This representation reflects our journey as humans on this earth. Like the Yew, we face trials and tribulations, life is in a constant state of change, and we must be prepared to re-root, regenerate, leave one life behind and rebuild another at any given time.

I have travelled and experienced different cultures and traditions, and throughout my experiences have learned to branch out, adapt and re-root as required. Just as the branches look to their roots for nutrients to grow and sprout new leaves and fruit, I took the decision to return to my roots, to ground and to receive what nutrients, what gems of knowledge required for my personal growth, that I had neglected to take with me when I first left Ireland to travel.

Taking the first steps on the spiritual path...

I began my journey inwards and homewards a number of years ago, under the kind support of many enlightened beings at home. I would not have found my way here without Margaret from Amethyst Health who came to my aid in my times of need, and of course Paul and Melanie from Pathway Teaching with whom I delved into the world of traditional shamanic healing. I interchange regularly between the rainy emerald isle and sacred lands of higher altitudes, furthering my understanding of what it is to be human from the enlightened mystics and priests of the Q’ero Nation in the Peruvian Andean Mountains.

Music and sound has always been very close to my heart as a child, and Sound Healing has become firmly incorporated into my therapies, which I studied under the careful guidance of Carmel at the Celtic School of Sound Healing.

"Learn in order to teach, and teach in order to learn..."

My philosophy in life has always been "Learn, in order to teach, and teach in order to learn", and it is time to begin sharing my experiences and skills that I have acquired along the road so far.

On that note, Be Yew - Elemental Energy and Sound Healing was founded, encompassing the importance of reconnecting back to nature and the earth, beginning the process of resonating with the vibrations of the elements and within that, discovering our own true vibration.

It is my hope that, by creating this platform, I might inspire you to inspire yourself to get both out there and in there, into your internal world and external environments and learn to live, each and every day growing into the person you came here to be.
