About Me…

Hi, I’m Desley

As an Advanced EFT Practitioner and Jungian Dream Coach, I bring dream work and EFT Tapping together to help you explore the wisdom within your dreams, to gently work with the emotions they awaken, and to integrate their insights into your waking life.

For decades, my life’s work has been about holding space empowering others to heal, grow and transform. It is my passion.

I began my journey in the classroom as a teacher of literature, where I discovered my love of story and symbolism and the magic of human potential and growth. I later moved into counselling, where I spent years supporting mothers through the tender complexities of nurturing their babies. I then became a Jungian Dream coach and helped others explore their rich inner world and the feelings, patterns, needs and possibilities trying to emerge. For me, dream work is a beautiful pathway towards greater self-awareness, wholeness and connection with our deeper wisdom within. Reiki and Reconnective Healing captured my attention next and I enjoyed working with these amazing energetic healing modalities before discovering, some 20 years ago, EFT Tapping—a gentle yet powerful way of transforming our emotional blocks.

Over time, EFT became a natural companion to my dream work. I discovered that tapping could help my clients (and me), beyond simply understanding a dream, to feeling into its deeper message, gently processing the emotions it awakened, and integrating its wisdom more fully into their lives. This is where my passion for bringing dreams and EFT together was born.

Each chapter of my journey has taught me something different, but together they have led me to a deeper understanding: true transformation comes when we learn to listen to the whole self—not just the stories of the conscious mind, but also our emotions, our body sensations, our intuition and the deeper wisdom within us.

In our fast-paced, constantly connected world, slowing down and listening within can feel almost countercultural. Yet when we create that space, something important happens. We begin to become present to a quieter knowing beneath the noise. That part of us that may know, more deeply than our busy minds, what we need and where we are being called to come alive. In this space, we can become more deeply connected to ourselves, to our inner wisdom and to the quiet knowing that is often difficult to hear when life is moving at full speed.

Bringing EFT Tapping and Jungian dream work together feels like a natural evolution of everything I have learned and experienced to date. It has inspired me to create a space where you can explore the wisdom of your dreams, gently work with what emerges, and discover what becomes possible when insight is given the space, support and encouragement to become lived experience.

The dream can reveal what is asking for our attention, while EFT helps us work through what may be standing in the way of responding to it.

Together, they offer a beautiful pathway towards greater self-understanding and meaningful change—a pathway I love sharing with others.
