Kirti

Born clairsentient and with the gift of healing, Kirti is a highly experienced healer. She has also studied and trained in various healing therapies and techniques.

An ever-deepening spirituality unfolded through a lifetime of personal challenge and after meeting the Living Saint known as 'Amma', Kirti has become an even greater presence for healing. Her path of devotion and service brings infinite selfless love, compassion and healing to all those drawn to her.

As Divine energy moves through Kirti's hands and presence all energy moves, clears and balances. The high vibration re-tunes the physical body, subtle bodies and chakra system and allows a 'letting go' to spontaneously arise. The lower frequencies of negativity, tension and dis-ease cannot continue to exist.

This healing energy is all-knowing, all consciousness and working beyond human intention or intellect, it seeks and transforms the very roots of suffering, wherever they might be held.

"In grace and devotion I work to bring love and healing to those in pain; those who seek peace and freedom from suffering; those who are confused or fearful; those who seek change and growth and those who have lost touch with their heart and soul."

Anna Moulsdale

Tibetan Pulsing Healing is a highly effective healing technique which balances the emotions, relaxes the mind and regenerates the body. It treats problems such as stress, depression, emotional anxiety, fear, anger and insomnia. This holistic bodywork uses a meditative approach to help transform negative patterns of behaviour, empowering you to be your authentic self. The results are profound and often transmit to areas of work, health and relationships.This healing work is one of the deepest ways of accessing emotions and energy blocks and bringing them to the surface so that they can be transformed.

Anna came across this inspirational healing technique while visiting a spiritual community in India at the beginning of her 'inner journey'. Here she trained with the founder of the Institute of Tibetan healing in India. She worked within the Institute for 6 years while going through a further period of advanced training, healing and deep self discovery using the Tibetan Pulsing healing system.
