Meet the team 

* Samantha Murray is an angelic Reiki master, intuitive healer and Light language activator. She will also hold the Cacao ceremony. Samantha has worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years helping people achieve their fitness/health goals and teaching fitness qualifications to others to pursue a career within the fitness industry. However, she always had a passion for spirituality and over the past ten years has been working on her own spiritual development and growth through meditation, Buddhism and energy healing. The results she achieved have been phenomenal and helped her heal within. In doing this she came to realise that she wanted to give others the opportunity to experience the same benefits she had received in her life. Samantha then got the calling to become an Angelic Reiki practitioner and then went on to past life therapies such as The Amaranta Method, light language and now teaches her own courses to activate others.

Samantha got her calling to follow her passion to help people on this journey of life, to heal not only on a physical level but also emotional and spiritual level.

** Prateek Kashyap will be your yoga instructor. Prateek has years of experience teaching yoga and breathing techniques.

Prateek runs his own yoga centre in Chittorgarh. He is a very supportive teacher and welcomes practitioners of all levels.
