"I launched The Chiltern Sound Spa to create space for people to connect with their inner wisdom and intuition."
Inspired by her personal shamanic work, Deborah trained as a sound meditation practitioner. At the start of 2018 (under a Blue Moon), she launched The Chiltern Sound Spa to share a wide range of practices that support mindful living and help build a deeper connection with ourselves, each other and Mother Nature.
​
Deborah loves trees and has a diploma in Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) from the International Society of Nature & Forest Medicine. She is currently studying for a diploma in sacred drumming at the College of Sound Healing. Deborah is registered with the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine.
Throughout her career, she has focused on creatively tackling global health & wellness challenges. She founded the social design agency thinkpublic after volunteering at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, where she was inspired by how service design could improve patient and staff experience across the NHS.

Deborah lives in the Chilterns with her family and dog, Frank.
