FROM LAW TO A DIFFERENT CALLING
A new chapter,
rooted in care.
For 28 years, Alka worked as a solicitor specialising in complex family and child protection cases.
Alongside a demanding professional life, she maintained a deep interest in spiritual practice and a desire to help people feel supported. Over time, she felt drawn towards a way of working that allowed more room for personal connection and care.
In 2010, following a meditation session, she made the decision to leave her employment. She did not have a detailed plan for what would follow, but knew it was time to listen to that inner call.
AN INNER JOURNEY
Finding the courage
to be yourself.
Shortly afterwards, in 2010, Alka experienced a spiritual awakening that led her to reflect more deeply on life, herself and what felt true.
A period of profound spiritual exploration encouraged Alka to question old patterns, deepen her self-understanding and find a greater sense of peace and acceptance as she began to connect more fully with her authentic self.
This journey brought her into contact with people and experiences that helped her discover a new vocation: supporting others to feel more empowered and lead fuller, more expansive lives.
That personal journey continues to inform the way she works. She brings patience, sensitivity and respect for each person’s experiences, with space for honest conversation, reflection and a little laughter along the way.
Her purpose is to help people feel more connected to themselves and more confident in their own inner wisdom.
PERSONAL REFLECTIONS
Known with warmth.
Supported with love.
Alka is one of the most kindest, compassionate and caring people that I've ever had the privilege to meet. She takes time to really listen to your needs and then is able to share her passion for Colour Mirrors ~ the psychology of Colour, Ayurveda and Sacred Sound Healing plus so much more to assist you on a Healing Pathway.
Alka brings all she is passionate about and creates a unique, bespoke pathway tailor made for you. Alka is a wonderful gift in the world.
I have known Alka for many years and am privileged to have her in my life as a friend and colleague. She has often bowled me over with her deep wisdom and ability to touch into the heart of things gently yet with great clarity.
Alka has a way with people, with energies and with life. Her warmth, compassion and love flow through everything she does. She truly walks her talk!

naturally here.
Alka offers retreats in her peaceful village home, within reach of the coast and places such as Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude, Launceston, Padstow and Port Isaac.
Cooking and sharing food are an important part of the welcome. Organic vegetarian meals, opportunities to explore the local area and unhurried time to yourself can all form part of your stay.
