Hello my name is Ann Foster, allow me to share a brief look into my world and how my career began in the field of complementary medicine.
The doors of the spiritual realms opened for me when I stumbled upon a pack of Tarot cards at a local jumble sale, they were contained in a simple plain wooden box that cost just a few pennies that was back in 1974!
I was soon to discover that I had been gifted 78 keys to esoteric wisdom and had no trouble in understanding the messages contained therein.
Little did I know that this would be just the beginning of a most extraordinary journey which lead me to being invited to join a group of Spiritual healers in my early teens, who would take me under their wings and encourage me to become a spiritual healer and to teach the art of Tarot by the age of just eighteen.
I will always be eternally grateful to these big hearted group of people for their loving guidance and support.
In my early-twenties I decided that I wanted to take my skills as a healer into the world and follow my ambition to run my own business, I decided to embark upon the path to becoming an Aroma therapist, I attended a ten week introductory course in aromatherapy at the local adult education centre I was hooked!!
I then took the leap of faith and handed in my notice as the manageress of a well-known fine china and crystal retailer and enrolled on an Anatomy and Physiology which included Swedish massage course. This would lead me to becoming a qualified Aroma therapist and by the spring of 1990 I set up my practice from my home in Staines Middlesex, which was to become a success and went from strength to strength.
During this time I attended a workshop on Crystals being run by Lettie Vantol, we became friends, Lettie inspired me to become a Crystal Therapist, which I did and qualified in 1992 at the Vantol college of Crystal Therapy. Lettie was the person who encouraged me to become a tutor not only within her College but, for Adult Education which I did from 1997 to 2004 and it was during this time that I gained my City & Guilds 7307 in teaching adults.
I have continued to teach and inspire others ever since, I have also continued to add to my skills and now offer a variety of Complementary therapies, these include Spiritual Counselling, Past Life Regression, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Reflexology, and Animal Healing.
The 90’s were an amazing time for me, I was fortunate to meet so many wonderful inspirational people one being the late Delores Cannon who triggered my interest in hypnotherapy / past life regression.
Having benefiting from Hypnosis myself and undergoing the process of being regressed back into some of my own past lives, which answered a lot of questions for me personally and helped me to understand the how, where and more importantly why I have the skills that I have, so at the first opportunity I enrolled on a course in Clinical Hypnotherapy. The course ran over a period of two years and included past life regression and professional counselling to diploma level.
I have mastered many skills over my thirty years as a complementary health practitioner, too many to list in fact as I have never stop learning and also feel that it is important to practice what I teach.
I was also given the opportunity teach at the Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary from 2012 to 2019 teaching spiritual healing to diploma level.
Since moving to Devon in 2016 I have continued to offer my services in complementary medicine along with teaching Crystal Therapy to diploma level and run various different workshops on the therapies that I feel passionate about, these include Spiritual development, Dowsing for health, Aromatherapy and Reflexology.
I am confident that I can offer you a positive health solution that will assist you on your path to good health and well-being.
