Gill lives in Glossop, near Manchester. Her amazing, transformational journey started with Chloe Goodchild’s Naked Voice Facilitator training, and she now runs workshops to introduce people to the transforming practices of the Naked Voice.

Gill, a singer, song-writer and teacher, explored how sounding with others, vocally and with instruments, leads to spiritual connection and healing. After sound baths her physical pain left her for hours at a time. After the first Sound Healing weekend she had no more pain for almost four weeks!! She had to return for more.

Gill uses sound daily to heal and balance her life, and has become a tutor at the college. She is also a Reiki master and has worked for two years as a person-centred counsellor. Her life has been transformed through sound, and she loves running workshops and working with individuals, hoping that it can change their lives also.

Singer, voice workshop facilitator, pianist, author & composer, Trixi believes that in our noisy, busy, hi-tech society we have become separated from the simple, healing joys of singing and music-making together—an essential part of being human. She has been running voice and song/sound meditation workshops in the UK and Greece for well over a decade.
She has an MA (music education) and an MEd and has trained in Creative Music Making in the Classroom (Orff Institute, Mozarteum, Austria,) and jazz voice, piano & composition (Trinity College of Music, London).
Trixi found herself fascinated with Sound Healing initially through facilitating workshops for a variety of people, including those with special physical needs, confidence issues, mental illness and able-bodied to very severely disabled children. Over the years, she has frequently observed the profoundly healing and mood-enhancing effects of singing and music-making, and was inspired to take things further and eventually train with the College of Sound Healing to become a Sound Healing Practitioner and Tutor.

Trixi works primarily (but not excusively) with the voice, and currently runs the following workshops:
Song Meditation (mindful singing using song, chants, simple rounds and harmonies),
Sing for Joy (a workshop designed to enhance self confidence, promote fun and help participants develop simple techniques to improve the use of the voice),
The Healing Voice (healing and self healing using simple toning and chant practices).

Steven Ash was born in 1951 in Cornwall, England and grew up on Wikwamikong on Lake Huron - an Indian reservation in Ontario, Canada.

A man of extraordinary abilities as a healer and seer, he inherited these talents from his father Dr. Michael Ash, who was the reservation doctor and the first doctor to practice acupuncture in the UK.

Steven studied Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, Tai Chi and Qi Kung and holds a doctorate in radiaesthesia.

His profound connection with Mother Earth and her plant and mineral kingdom has enabled him to gain extensive insight into the healing abilities of plants and crystals, and to use this knowledge in the manufacture and development of the Rainbow Essences.

Steven was adopted as spiritual grandson by Wallace Black Elk, and his spirit name Tatanka Wanagi Wichasta - Buffalo Spirit Man - was given to him by Eagle Man Ed McGaa.
