The Team

Lorraine Turner: Progressive Energy Healer, Intuitive Transformational Coach and Teacher.

Lorraine is the force behind the refurbishment and set up of  Blossom House Wellness Centre which opened September 2009. Lorraine’s passion for assisting people to be all that they can be, is her inspiration.

She has spent many years working for herself with her partner Ivan in there Musical Duo (Dont Frett), as a Property Investor/Renovator and Life Coach.

It wasn’t until  a serious injury in 2005 and  intense spiritual evolvement  following, that her own healing abilities revealed themselves. She decided to forego surgery and heal herself. The Self Healing Process worked, much to the surprise of her surgeon.

Lorraine’s  Energy Healing Sessions work on removing blockages from within the Meridian lines that run throughout the body freeing up much-needed energy for the healing process to take place.  This energy can work on many levels including Physical,  Mental and Emotional  and can assist with many types of health problems.  The human body is designed to heal  itself  given the correct environment. This work can assist you to understand how much control you have  around your own  personal health issues.

Lorraine provides great Intuitive Coaching Sessions to assist you to understand  and dis-empower the personal  Belief Systems that prevent you being all that you can be in the world.

Breaking through and understanding how these Belief Systems took hold in the first place and then being able to see how they have controlled your life will set you free, enabling you build a life which boosts your Self Esteem and Self Confidence.

Lorraine’s courses are in the areas of Self Empowerment, Spiritual Concepts, and Personal Development. See our courses page for details.

Romana Lysakova – Massage Therapist

I originally came from The Czech Republic. I first became interested in massage as a teenager seeing the amazing results of this therapy when my father became seriously ill. My father was very lucky to meet a special man, Jiri, who combines osteopathy and chiropractic techniques, naturopathy and massage together. He reads the body like a book and can immediately recognise “wrong” areas. I started to watch him and learn. Because of him my father is still around, and I have a great teacher. That was just the beginning of a long journey – learning about the body and energy – which I think will always continue in my life.

Since then I have continued to learn from many wonderful teachers; learning Tibetan Massage from Tseko, a Tibetan therapist and astrologist in India; aspects of Chinese Medicine and advanced energy work from Kenn, an Aboriginal Master of Martial Arts in Australia; and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, a deeply detoxifying therapy which aids the immune system and can help in cases of long-term chronic pain, from Hans in Auckland, New Zealand. I am also available for Relaxation Massage, Theraputic Massage, Hot Stone Therapy and Thai Yoga Massage

I am still meeting great teachers. I can see them in my colleagues, my clients and even my partner. I’m very grateful to be in New Zealand, believing it to be the most pure and beautiful country in the world.

My experience has taught me it is important to go with flow, look at each person from a holistic point of view and try to find the best combination of techniques for each individual. EveryBODY is important. Every BODY is different, so every massage is different. I work in deep connection to follow what the body needs.

 

Shekinah- Energy Healer, Hypnotherapist, Teacher

The physical body is not the only part of us that needs to be healthy if we want to live a long and happy life.  In the past, if we felt physically, mentally or emotionally unwell we would see a psychiatrist, psychologist or our local GP.  However sometimes these methods don’t seem to address the problem and we need something other than what these traditional methods offer us.  More recently science has proven that there are many more layers to a human body than just the physical, emotional or mental.  These other layers of you, when unwell, also cause illness, and if untreated will spread through the layers of your body, becoming more dense as they move and settle in the final layer of you, your physical body.

Shekinah specialises in working within these outer layers, attuning and aligning them to the body, removing  blockages and dis-harmonies so that energy flows smoothly and freely through all layers.  This eradicates dis-  ease or dis-comfort allowing the whole body to function in complete health.

Working with groups as well as individuals, Shekinah’s ability to connect with Higher Consciousness makes her an  excellent teacher. This gift allows her to channel information and techniques that aid all those who work with her  to break through ridged beliefs, opening them up to new understandings, guiding them to a happier outcome and  ultimately assisting them to connecting to their own Higher Consciousness.

With knowledge ranging from more conventional methods such as Hypnotherapy and Meditation, to advanced Energy Work and Channelling, Shekinah offers healing on many levels.  For those who need a little help with direction; her ability to channel Higher Consciousness Guidance offers a more beneficial path for your soul.

Shekinah’s Courses include;  Awaken 1 and Awaken 2. See our Courses page for details.

Tiana

I grew up in my favourite city Berlin, Germany, which equipped me with an open-minded attitude, as often happens in a large city with such a wide cultural diversity.

I was drawn to Energy Healing in the 1980’s as I completed my Reiki 1 & 2 Degree in Munich Germany.

I came to New Zealand with my family in the late 1980, by this time these concepts on energy had firmly settled  into my whole system, and I was ready for more.  Consequently I followed up with my Reiki 3 Degree and then  my Reiki Masters.

However this was still not enough, so I spent many years learning about Spiritual Concepts and doing Hands on  Healing whenever the opportunity arose…

Now at Blossom House I work with Body Balancing, Chakra Clearing and Re-Alignment in order to recreate the normal flow of energy throughout my client’s body.I often work with other Healers in our Team, to provide extra support when required.I love seeing the soothing, regenerating effects on my clients that Energy Healing provides

 

Taloola Energy healer, Earth healer, house and land clearer, teacher,

“Born and raised in Christchurch and not particularly enjoying living in a “big” city, I decided to up sticks and  move. A friend relocating to Nelson provided the company and motivation to finally move too. That was over 22  years ago.

My working career has been in business and management, ranging from industrial engineering to motel  management and everything in between. I thought I was my career/job but yet I still felt worthless and  untalented.

As a small child I remember lying on the grass looking upwards and feeling like I was the grass, the trees, the sky. I was a happy, cheerful child. People enjoyed my sense of humour and fun.

The years following my parents’ divorce were really tough. A lot of hurt and pain with many difficult circumstances to deal with followed. One day I realised that the happy-go-lucky girl was gone. Now, as an adult, I needed to find her. And so I started my search back to me.

I met Lorraine, Shekinah, Tiana and the other healers of Blossom House while on a course we were all attending. That was 5 years ago.

In those five years I learnt what my “true” gifts and talents are. It is my pleasure to be able to offer these gifts to you for your own growth and healing.”
