Iona Leigh – Findhorn Flower Essences

Iona’s mother Marion Leigh was a trained homeopath working for Ian White’s Australian Bush Flower Essence trainings in the 80’s before moving with the family to the Findhorn Foundation. Growing up with an anthroposophical Steiner-Waldorf education in a eco-village community, informed Iona’s comprehension of the spiritual world from a very young age. Iona went on to study Music Performance at Thames Valley University in London (specialising in the voice and harp), before combining her two great passions in life within her Masters in Music and Health (passed with distinction). In 2009, Iona returned to run the family business and teach Flower Essence in Findhorn with her mother. As Education Director, Iona wished to further her studies and went on to study with Medical Director Dr Rosy Daniel, graduating with top marks in 2020 as a Health Creation Mentor. In 2019, Iona’s became the FFE MD and it is her deep passion for music, nature, essences and healing informs her work in her business, therapy, and family life with her partner and three children.

Touch Tree with Mandie Danks is about supporting you and the animals in your life. Recognising that you and your animals are unique individuals in your own right but while you are separate beings you are also a partnership. Each impacting on the other.

At Touch Tree it is about looking at the bigger picture, remembering that neither we or the animals in our lives operate in a bubble and we are all influenced by the emotions and energies around as.

I help you look beyond the obvious to find the lessons and gifts to enable connection, communication, healing and growth that will help you move forward both individually and together. To help you achieve this I offer a range of Essence Support sessions for animals, their guardians and animal professionals.

It maybe you experience some level of anxiety around certain situations with your animal, such as taking your dog out for a walk as the result of a past experience or your animal has challenges in certain aspects of their life. Or it may be that you feel you need some additional support or guidance.

Essence Support sessions are offered online or in-person within a set area and can include Flower & Vibrational Essences, EFT, Reiki and Animal Communication. Essence Support sessions are tailored to meet your individual needs and when working with your dog, can be arranged either as standalone option or partnered with training guidance.

I work with children and adults who are sensitive and may be prone to anxiety, worry fear or feel overwhelmed by the energy of others. I am also a paediatric occupational therapist with over 30 years of working with children and young people. My passion is to support individuals to overcome any emotional barriers that may be holding them back and empower them to find their soul purpose and achieve their potential. I am also trained in Reiki and Metatronia Therapy.
