My Story

I've been working with crystals since I was 36 — which means I've spent the best part of 24 years handling, selecting, studying, and selling them. What started as a profound personal experience became a vocation I've never looked back from.

It began in a psychic awareness circle. One evening we were introduced to crystals, and I was handed a crystal egg. I found I could read from it — images forming inside the stone — and something clicked that I've never been able to fully explain, nor felt the need to. That was the beginning.

From there I trained as a Reiki practitioner, spiritual healer, and crystal therapist — qualifications I've held for around 20 years. For a time I ran a shop in Kent where I sold crystals, offered healing sessions, and read tarot professionally. Before that I was selling at markets and Mind Body Spirit fayres across Sussex, and eventually running fayres myself.

Elysian Crystals is the latest chapter — first on Etsy, now here with my own shop. The business has changed shape over the years but the thing at the centre of it hasn't: a genuine connection to crystals and a belief that the right piece, chosen carefully, can make a real difference to someone.

Every crystal I stock has been selected by hand. My background means I'm not just looking at a crystal and seeing a pretty stone — I'm looking at its energy, its character, and whether it's good enough to pass on to someone else. If it isn't, it doesn't make it into the shop.

If you have questions, want advice on choosing a piece, or just want to talk crystals — I'm always happy to hear from you.
