Cindy Beadman: Healing Grotto

Cindy Beadman: Healing Grotto

I created the healing grotto in order to work specifically with children. I had been practicing as a healer and counsellor at Bath Natural Health Clinic for some time, as well as at the Cancer Self-help Centre in Bristol with Dr. Mike Weir and felt a need to lighten up. Hence after eighteen months of work, plus very many loving gifts from sometimes complete strangers, my old coal vault under the pavement of Royal Crescent in Bath, was successfully transformed into a beautiful grotto. Here I not only worked with children but also with adults sent by my local GP in various stages of mental distress such as schizophrenia. The grotto, together with my work there, soon became well known with the result that it was featured in numerous TV programmes, including one on BBC 1 on Boxing day, presented by the late Karen Hunniford, that delved into contemporary beliefs about Angels, using many personal stories of direct experiences.
