My name is Arlene Dunkley-Wood. I am a sound practitioner, birth advocate and psychotherapist working in Waltham Forest.

​

It is my vocation to help you improve your wholistic wellbeing. I have been working in the wellness industry for three decades, providing wholistic health and healing.

 

The birth process is my particular passion, which I have supported as an active birth educator, specialist YogaBirth teacher, doula and advocate for informed birth for women. I have guided hundreds of women through pregnancy with yoga, breathwork and practical birth postures, as well as helping them to prepare their bodies for optimal birth through massage, craniosacral therapy and mindfulness relaxation tips.

 

Thirty years on, I am still dedicated to helping babies land in this world into open, loving arms, and to supporting mothers through this life changing process. I have become increasingly concerned about the birth trauma and its impact on women and families. Perinatal counselling and birth recovery sessions allow me to combine my counselling and doula skills to provide a healing start to family life.

​

I have also developed a strong interest in energy work for other stages of life, adding gong & sound therapy to my offering, alongside craniosacral therapy, breathwork and yoga.
