A holistic path to wellbeing and natural balance
IMPORTANT NOTICE - SEPTEMBER 2023
Occasionally life, the Universe, sends us a challenge and we at Peridot Healing find
ourselves coping with one that has continued longer than we ever imagined
when our world was turned upside down in June 2020.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer any therapy sessions or courses until further notice.
While we are taking this period of time away from Peridot Healing we will be evaluating
which of our courses and therapies we will continue with
and hope to be back at some point in 2023.
Our Students pages will remain active during our absence.
Many blessings to all, Catherine and John
