Off-Grid Sanctuary • New Zealand
My Spiritual Journey
Where did it all begin? In Ireland, my birth country, my awareness that I was on a spiritual journey began after a bolt of lightning struck my home & myself in the late '80s.
The Lightning Strike
Finding the neurological damage was unresponsive to western medical practices, I embarked on a lifetime of discovery, study & practice of the healing arts. This profound experience opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
Professional Foundation
My professional journey began with a foundation in nursing & later I pursued a Master's degree in Mental Health. This academic endeavor equipped me with a robust understanding of the complexities of the human mind & body.
Extensive Training & Modalities
I studied & practiced a wide range of modalities: Yoga, Meditation, Tarot, Kabbalah, Pranic healing, Homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, Swedish massage, many forms of Reiki, Auric magnetic healing, Magnified healing, Shamanism, mediumship & much more.

The Emerald Forest Experience
At The Emerald Forest, home to The Ancient Arts, every session is personal, sacred, and experiential — from walking labyrinths beneath the oak trees, to receiving guidance in an authentic Gypsy vardo, to opening energy pathways under the night sky.
Here, women step away from noise, reconnect to their own wisdom, and leave feeling grounded, safe, clear, and deeply restored.
The Emerald Forest Experience is a sacred, immersive environment where transformation happens naturally.
Working with Dee
When you work with me, you enter a space of complete confidentiality, safety, and grounded guidance. You will receive clear, wise advice drawn from decades of experience in Tarot, Reiki, and energy healing.
In-person workshops and sessions take place in my unique off-grid forest sanctuary, where the labyrinths, sacred spaces, and immersive natural surroundings support reflection, clarity, and transformation.
Every experience is tailored to you, honoring your journey with insight, practical wisdom, and the restorative power of nature.
