Ann Foster
Founder, Intuitive Coaching, Tarot Consultant & Spiritual Healer
Hello, my name is Ann Foster. Allow me to share a brief glimpse into my world and how my career in complementary medicine began.
The doors of the spiritual realms opened for me when I stumbled upon a pack of Tarot cards at a local jumble sale; they were contained in a simple, plain wooden box that cost just a few pennies, which was back in 1974!
I was soon to discover that I had been gifted 78 keys to esoteric wisdom and had no trouble in understanding the messages contained therein. Little did I know that this would be just the beginning of a most extraordinary
journey which lead me to being invited to join a group of Spiritual healers in my early teens, who would take me under their wings and encourage me to become a spiritual healer and to teach the art of Tarot by the age of just eighteen.
I will always be eternally grateful to this big-hearted group of people for their loving guidance and support.
In my early-twenties I decided that I wanted to take my skills as a healer into the world and follow my ambition to run my own business, I decided to embark upon the path to becoming an Aroma therapist, I attended a ten week introductory course in aromatherapy at the local adult education centre I was hooked!!
I then took the leap of faith and handed in my notice as the manageress of a well-known fine china and crystal retailer, and enrolled in an Anatomy and Physiology course, which included a Swedish massage component. This led me to become a qualified aromatherapist, and by the spring of 1990, I set up my practice from my home in Staines, Middlesex. It was to become a success and went from strength to strength.
During this time, I attended a workshop on crystals, run by Lettie Vantol, where we became friends. Lettie inspired me to become a Crystal Therapist, which I did, qualifying in 1992 at the Vantol College of Crystal Therapy. Lettie was the person who encouraged me to become a tutor not only within her college but also for Adult Education, which I did from 1997 to 2004.
It was during this time that I gained my City & Guilds 7307 qualification in teaching adults.
I have continued to teach and inspire others ever since. I have also continued to develop my skills and now offer a variety of Complementary therapies, including Spiritual Coaching, Past Life Regression, Clinical Hypnotherapy,
Reflexology, and Animal Healing.
The 1990s were an amazing time for me. I was fortunate to meet so many wonderful, inspirational people, one of whom was the late Delores Cannon, who triggered my interest in hypnotherapy and past life regression.
Having benefiting from Hypnosis myself and undergoing the process of being regressed back into some of my own past lives, which answered a lot of questions for me personally and helped me to understand the how, where and more importantly why I have the skills that I have, so at the first opportunity I enrolled on a course in Clinical Hypnotherapy. The course spanned a period of two years and included past-life regression and professional counselling to diploma level.
I have acquired numerous skills over my thirty-plus years as a complementary health practitioner, too many to list, as I have never stopped learning and believe it is essential to practice what I teach.
I was also given the opportunity to teach at the Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary from 2012 to 2019, teaching spiritual healing to diploma level. Since moving to Devon in 2016, I have continued to offer my services in
complementary medicine, while also teaching Crystal Therapy at diploma level and running various workshops on the therapies I am passionate about, including Spiritual Coaching and Development, Dowsing for Health,
Aromatherapy, and Reflexology.
I am confident that I can offer you a positive health solution that will assist you on your path to good health and well-being.
