The Chrysalis Healing Foundation
Pauline Wickens BFRP MVHF MFSEM
My Background
My early working life was spent in finance and management consultancy in the City of London and later for an independent school in Buckinghamshire.
The sudden passing of my mother caused me to reflect on my own work / life balance and the needs of my extended family and I took time out to care for my father until his passing in 2011.
During this time I developed a deepening interest in the spiritual aspects of health and well-being, and I undertook a period of personal and inner development training at The College of Psychic Studies in London on a variety of esoteric subjects including psychic development, astrology, meditation and the angelic realm.
There was also a period spent in a mediumship circle under the tutelage of Gerrie March. It was during my time with Gerrie that I discovered a gift for healing and since then I have made healing part of my life and work.
Dr Bach said we should “accept the remedies as part of life” and throughout my personal healing journey the Bach Flowers have been a source of comfort and support. The greatest effect for me has been the awakening of my ability to see the value of my life experiences and how this is to serve me (and others) this lifetime.
In 2017 I founded the Chrysalis Healing Foundation, and our mission is to educate, support and empower people to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. My authentic approach allows you to clarify what stands in the way of living an abundant, joyful and harmonious life and offers you wellbeing strategies to engender greater confidence, self-empowerment and self-reliance.

In addition to the use of crystals as a tool for healing I use colour, sound and flowers in my one-to-one healing sessions as appropriate. I also offer an in-person workshop introducing Subtle Energy Medicine, crystals and healing for self-care.
My Passions
I enjoy interior design; I am a keen gardener and love to spend time in nature where I walk and enjoy the company of trees. I have practised Qigong for many years, and I have found this to be a wonderful self-care tool. I have a lifelong interest in astrology and the angelic realm.
Collaborating with colleagues in each of the disciplines in which I am trained and enjoying the supportive community and sense of belonging.
I have a particular interest in working with people who are bereaved and my work as a bereavement support volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Care has been deeply rewarding.
My clients and students are my greatest teachers, and I am committed to the ongoing development of my personal and professional skills in service to them.
One-to-one appointments are available in person in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire or online via Zoom. I look forward to working with you.
