About Belinda of Sound Room Healing

I have had a lengthy career in the NHS as an Occupational Therapist, now retired and living in rural Northumberland.

It was during a really traumatic time in my life that I began to look into natural ways of healing and follow what I truly believed in.

I want to share my passion in the use of energy healing modalities that have helped me and my family through some difficult times.

I am a qualified Reiki Practitioner, Bach Flower Registered Practitioner and Energy Healer offering 1:1 work and I also volunteer at Northumbria Healers.

During the pandemic I pursued my interest in the use of Sound and qualified as a Sound Practitioner using Gongs, Himalayan Singing Bowls and other instruments. 

In May 2024 I qualified as a Dragon Master Frequency Practitioner which offers me the opportunity to teach those who wish to become a Sound Practitioner in the use of Dragon Frequency Tubes.

People come for healing for many reasons, perhaps they’ve experienced it first hand and felt the benefits of it, or they are curious to  experience it. It may simply be that they want “time-out”, “time for themselves”, “time to relax” wanting to clear the mind chatter, feel  completely at peace, relaxed or they may seek some relief from pain and discomfort during or after the healing. 

I have a gentle, calm nature, making people feel welcomed, safe and relaxed.

I also enjoy regular walks with Julie and Strolls with Poles.

About Julie of Strolls with Poles

I have always had an interest in fitness and was previously an aerobics instructor until my knees told me to stop. I started Nordic Walking in 2005 when a friend introduced it to me during Mental Health Week. I was immediately hooked and bought my first set of poles when I got home.

I was offered the chance to become a British Nordic Walking Instructor in June 2012 and I jumped at the chance. In December 2017 I started Strolls with Poles and our first walk was our Christmas walk, up to the top of Simonside to the decorated Christmas tree. We repeat this walk every year.

I am passionate about the benefits of walking in general but especially the unique advantages of Nordic Walking.

In June 2023 I decided to start Strolls with Poles Community Interest Company which enables me to apply for funding to offer sessions free of charge or at a reduced rate to charitable groups. I absolutely love helping those who may struggle with walking through illness or just getting out.

All of our walks are fun, relaxed, different lengths and in our amazing North East.

I enjoy regularly attending Belinda’s sound baths and feel the benefit of the healing.

About Strolls with Poles

If you enjoy a stroll, especially using Nordic Walking poles, then Strolls With Poles is for you.

If you don’t Nordic Walk and would like to try, we have monthly training sessions at Wallington.  We also welcome people on our walks if you don’t Nordic Walk.

We specialise in enjoying fun, relaxing and friendly walks in a variety of beautiful locations in the North East of England. We sometimes even venture further afield, taking part in challenge walks and away days. We have taken part in a few Kiltwalks and have raised monies for Cancer Research and the Great North Air Ambulance.

As a reward we always end (sometimes during) our walks enjoying tea and cakes, in local tea rooms and cafes.
