James Elphick.

Over the last twenty years I have helped people connect deeply with themselves. This has been in a career in horticultural therapy and over twenty years of Spiritual practice and training.

Here in Corfu I have found the ideal conditions that help people drop their stress and worries and find the transformative effects that help shift old patterns and beliefs and create a life more easeful and flowing.

It took a recurring chronic disease to make me decide that I wanted a different way of life. Through fears of letting go of an old  life I found the more I slowed down and let go the more I thrived. Although this felt very natural it was also a challenge to let go of persistent old "parts" of me that didn't to change..

Diving deeply into the emotional body I have healed this through deep embodiment work, inner dialogue, being in nature and living my truth.

My previous career was well meaning and rewarding at times. I studied Land Use at university level and was involved in running Charity projects, enterprises and working in Social Services.

Over the years I discovered how I could use my innate gift of reading energy and became a I am a trained aura mediator.

My own health conditioned helped me become more familiar, compassionate and loving to my body and I trained to become a mindfulness for health coach so I could assist others.

I trained in the world of "parts work" through a Spiritual Community  and I have witnessed many people move through huge breakthroughs and shifts through 1.1 sessions and retreats with this framework.

My own healing journey runs alongside my work and I strongly believe there is no hierarchal structure to Spirituality and healing.  I have also attended countless retreats and received many years of coaching and therapy.

I feel the healing journey is life long with many layers and yet there is the beauty of fun and lightness,

I live in Arillas in Corfu where I feel the land and Greek way of life suits my Soul.

Corfu. 

This emerald isle in the blue Ionian sea holds such an allure. This beautiful and magical island has captured so many hearts and souls and it’s easy to see why.

You will be naturally under her spell!

Arillas. Your base and destination for relaxation. 

Nestled in the North West of the island surrounded by green hills and protected by offshore islands lies a jewel far removed from any loud tourist resort.

A small town that attracts those who want to discover themselves in a deeper way. The whole area is bustling with positive energy and you will feel the warm welcome from all those that spend time here. The area has a beautiful coastline, fine sandy beaches, and crystal clear waters. It is a place to relax, have fun and be immersed in all the beautiful nature that surrounds it.

There is something very comforting to feel a man’s gentle presence in communion with nature. James leads with a sense of connection derived not from a need to teach or prove something but from having walked his path and found his calling.

James, your guidance is so helpful and beautiful. Your voice is so soothing. Thank you for the reminder of rooted connection with self, community and all living beings. I really needed that. It helped me at a time of turbulent emotions.

James was incredibly professional yet accessible. His warmth and presence allowed a safety that was immediate. I recommend a 5 day retreat as the layers continued to peel until I met my essence. This was the most transformative spiritual experience I have ever had and I will continue to treasure it forever.
