Louise Dalziel Cheval and The Crystal Connection
Born in 1951 drawing on my 'colourful' life experience and over 27 years of studying a variety of complementary therapies, I feel as though I was born to be a teacher.
Since a child I have had an interest in nature, Native American Indians and their ways.
By my early twenties I had qualified in Graphic Art and Design. Whilst at Art College I began my lifelong interest in Crystals and Shamanism, devouring Carlos Castaneda books as they were written.
Feeling restless and wanting to explore I went to live in Australia where I studied Health and Nutrition and attended my first official Crystal workshop. I also spent many days in the Outback working with a Maori medicine woman who taught me much about the stones and their natural uses and energies.
I stayed in Western Australian tropics for 6 years and travelled extensively.
On returning to the UK, I continued my studies in Psychology, Shiatsu, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Anatomy and Physiology and The Radiance Technique where I went on to be a Reiki Master/Teacher.
In the late 1990s I began running Crystal Healing Workshops and formulated a study course to support them in order to pass my knowledge on to others. I found myself teaching more workshops each year and also fulfilled an ambition to study, firstly with Melody one of my favourite authors, and then with Katrina Raphael (another favourite author) out of the Crystal Academy in Hawaii.
Suffering from terminal curiosity my studies are always ongoing. Embracing Shamanic Healing was like finding my home (I found a special teacher). I am now in the process of studying Astrological Psychology (the Huber Method) with the API in Cheshire.
In the past 3 years I have travelled extensively in South West America visiting Native American homelands learning their ways, old and current.
