Caroline holds workshops, classes and seminars with a gentle guidance towards deep transformative healing for body and soul and the environment we live in. Ideal for men and women with any level of experience. Here you can expect a deep level of integrity and safety, to do the work you need to do on a personal level.

"Caroline's work is crafted just as much from her own experience of life as it is from the many years of study she has undertaken. I have seen her emerge and take her place in the circle of teachers who are committed to excellence, ongoing learning and the delicate balance of personal power and humility which is a foundation for good study. She is delightfully creative and the deep roots that she has developed through maintaining her equilibrium in life's storms as well as her sense of humour means she can hold the space for you to take your journey, safely, deeply and truthfully. Be warned, the love she feels for the dance and for life are highly infectious."Ya'Acov Darling Khan. School of Movement Medicine.

Caroline creates a safe, beautiful and inviting space to explore whatever it is that comes up in people. She intuitively guides and entices feelings to the fore that need to be expressed, dealt with and transformed. Caroline has a masterful way with people that provides a platform for her students and clients to connect with their true feelings. This enables them to be in the present and live their lives fully.- Brigitte Sumner-author, coach, speaker.

"Caroline Carey is a shamanic healer and teacher, who has dived deeply into the rich dark roots of the shamanic path and danced within its primal landscapes. I am very pleased that she has now chosen to share her skills in accessing the ecstatic abandonment that shamanism brings for healing and transformation: you are in good hands."

Carolines Story;

When I was four years old I wore a white tutu and pink satin ballet shoes, when I was a teenager I danced to rock and roll down at the local youth club. For the rest of the time I danced to my 45-rpm record player in my bedroom late at night or early in the morning.
As a family we lived in the grounds of a derelict stately home that was my adventure play ground, and the castle of my dreams. I rode horses and had numerous pets that I spent more time with than anything else. I was born in the Midlands in 1960 and lived then in the beautiful English countryside. My education was in a catholic convent.
It was not a terribly easy childhood, it had its 'issues' but my escape was into nature, with animals, and my writing and poetry.

Moving On
All this was not to last though as I became a teenage Mum at 16 and ended up living in the very rough suburbs of a city. The complete opposite to my previous existence, I had to face many struggles that life gave to me, I was never able to finish my education and so spent most of my young adult life caring for my children and invalid husband at that time. I learnt much and often the hard way. Life was tough.

I worked part time taking care of the elderly and also took a diploma as a herbalist. I was always fascinated with healing. Amidst the rearing of my little ones I managed to create a small business as a healer and herbalist creating ‘Natural Care’ products. Funny the saga we had with pots of herbal preparations and little fingers that tried to dip in and out.
But despite my struggles I always found moments to dance anywhere I possibly could. Dance was and is my freedom, my prayer and my sanctuary; it is where I connect more deeply with myself than at any other moment. It is where I am inspired, where I create and where I constantly long to return too.

Living then in Ireland I found the 5 Rhythms practice when my youngest daughter was a small baby, 15 years ago. It was hard to separate myself from motherhood and daily duties but I religiously went to my weekly classes exploring my own healing and the work I needed to do for myself. After two years I knew I had to share this work with others and become a teacher so I began traveling and training with Gabrielle Roth. It was against all the odds, by this time a single Mum on welfare, having broken free from an unhealthy relationship.
This work was completely changing my life. I know now anything is possible no matter what your situation. The training took me to New York and California, many parts of the UK.

Both Gabrielle and Ya'Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, then the Moving Centre Uk and now School of Movement Medicine have been a huge inspiration to me and I thank them for all they give me in their teachings and guidance.
I have spent many years on the dance floor, as a student and a teacher. Played numerous roles in theatre and developed many skills.

After a lifetime fascination with nature, dreams, journeying and spirituality, I began to include traditional shamanic techniques into my work. I trained with Simon Buxton of the Sacred Trust and discovered that so much of my life had already been a shamanic practice, this was deeply confirming for me.

Put simply, I love my work and I love to dance. It has led me from the dance floor into theatre, to traveling the world, into writing my story, and to meeting different people from all walks of life. It has helped me to heal and continue to heal my life despite the struggles I have faced.
I have three gorgeous sons, three beautiful daughters and two grandchildren. I'm a very proud Mum and Granny. Life isn't always easy but as long as I can dance I have a limitless resource of creativity to support me.
My own dance is an on-going exploration of my body, my soul and my ever changing and expanding personal growth.

In the last five years, after meeting with an nlp practitioner, that I worked on myself with, I was hugely inspired. I went on to study and train in NLP (neuro linguistic programming) with Dr Richard Bandler. Co-Creator of NLP
I realized so much of my own teachings incorporated this, especially in the desire to help other people find their potential or to help them to follow their dreams without limitations, as well as give attention to any difficulties people have and overcoming them. It is a big desire of mine.
I am now a Master NLP Practitioner.

My children are nearly all grown up now and living interesting lives of their own, musicians, a builder, a surfer/sailor, a hairdresser, they have done well, So I am happily bringing my own teachings into the world more and more, and have become the business woman that I never realized was in me.After 17 years I hav ereturned to England to be near my family and my partner Ben Cole who is a cinematographer. We met on a journey to be with the Kogi people from the Sierra Nevada an dbegan a very beautiful and healing relationship together.

I have written my first book about the journey of child hood sexual abuse, teenage motherhood, rearing a family, in being a dancer and falling in love. I look forward to sharing it with you.
