About Silvie
Hello and a warm welcome to my website! I’m Silvie Hylton-Potts – an experienced Cranio-Sacral Therapist, Intuitive Healer, Reiki teacher and therapeutic dance / art facilitator.
I offer Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Intuitive Healing and Reiki treatments via distance to clients anywhere in the world and in-person in Thailand / UK. I also offer distance healing to animals in need of physical or emotional healing.
I teach Reiki level 1 and 2 courses for small groups, and am a facilitator of Flow Motion dance and creative HeART workshops.
I live most of the year round in Nong Khai, North East Thailand, making regular trips back to Oxford / London, UK to give treatments and courses.
I love helping clients to resolve physical / emotional symptoms and pain – so that they can step into their full potential in life!
Personal experience:
My health issues started in my early teens when I developed chronic fatigue, depression and IBS – the manifestation of a series of traumatic childhood experiences that I was unable to process. Conventional medicine was unable to help much and I learnt to live with the symptoms. A health scare in my mid twenties catapulted me onto a path of natural healing.
Saying goodbye to the world of offices, I began a three year training in Zen Shiatsu, then later Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Reiki – in order to help myself and others. I was blown away by the powerful combination of body and energy work, which had an almost immediate and profound effect on me. At the same time, I started to address multiple factors such as my diet, lifestyle, changing negative thought patterns and healing past trauma.
In 2006, on a break to Thailand, I discovered two incredible spiritual teachers, Pancho and Beatrix, and began to learn with them, and practise yoga and meditation daily. The combination of these practices and treatments helped me to gradually heal myself from within – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I am dedicated to ongoing personal growth and development. My professional offerings incorporate healing treatments, self reflective exercises/coaching and simple tools to help clients create more balance in their daily life. I help clients to identify the root causes of their symptoms and to heal at the deepest levels.
