Shhh holistic are excited to welcome you to the new therapy treatment suites in Ticehurst, which launched over the summer, expanding the business with more space and new members of the team, specialising in reflexology, homeopathy and energy healing. Waving a fond fair well to the Old library building in Wadhurst east Sussex which opened in 2011.
Shelly’s next project after many successful years owning Royal Day Spa in Tunbridge Wells, Shhh holistic has organically grown over the years to now boast a team of therapists offering a huge variety of holistic treatments to balance your mind, body and energy.
Talking therapy, breathwork, energy healing and hypnotherapy to name but a few are all used in conjunction with one another to treat the whole.
Our bespoke treatments are now not just for Ticehurst therapy suites, Shhh holistic also treats from the urban retreat in Knightsbridge, the bell in Ticehurst and in your own home or supporting specialist retreats.

Sandra Gorman
Sandra is that rare thing, a natural born healer.
Her talents have been honed by 20 years treating in award winning spas and supporting exclusive retreats. The last five years at “Shhh Holistic” have seen her become a reiki master, Ko Bi Do teacher and develop a loyal following as senior massage therapist.
Her combination of massage and Reiki using aromatherapy and hand poured organic products is a truly healing and uplifting experience that will relax your body and soothe your soul.
Sam Gent
Sam brings over 25 years’ expertise in massage therapy and HR consultancy, combining hands-on skill with deep emotional insight. Her offerings are rooted in compassion, clarity and presence — creating a sanctuary in which both body and mind can soften, release and truly reset.
Under the guidance of Shelly and Gillian, Sam has advanced her healing journey to Reiki 2, and immersed herself in the Murphy Method — integrating energy alignment, intuitive sensing and precise bodywork to support real transformation. Whether through a deeply nurturing massage or a more energetic healing session, Sam listens to what’s beneath the surface and meets you there.
Clients often describe her space as calm, held, and profoundly healing. Sam’s approach is always respectful, grounded and gently intuitive — offering a bridge between physical tension and emotional release, so you leave feeling more centred, aligned and alive.
Sasha Cameron
Sasha Cameron is a holistic psychotherapist and hypnotherapist specialising in psychosomatics and the mind–body connection, with a particular interest in sex and relationship challenges.
Her approach blends traditional psychotherapy with hypnotherapy, nervous system work, movement and yoga therapy, and energy-aware practices. Sasha helps clients understand how life experiences, stress, and emotions live in the body — and how change often happens not just through talking, but through feeling, moving, and reconnecting with oneself.
She works with people navigating relationship and intimacy difficulties, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, chronic stress, and psychosomatic symptoms. As a mother of three, Sasha brings real-life experience, humour, and warmth into the therapy space, alongside solid clinical training. She’s experienced the messiness of life herself and believes that growth comes from meeting challenges with compassion, curiosity, and the right support.
Sasha’s aim is to help clients feel more grounded, regulated, and at ease — building resilience, clarity, and a sense of stability that supports real, lasting change.

Gillian Murphy
Gillian is one of those intriguing people who blends deep wisdom with a wonderfully down-to-earth approach. A healing master, she is known for her kind heart, straight-talking honesty, and an ability to hold space in a way that instantly puts people at ease. With buckets of life experience behind her, Gillian brings both warmth and clarity to every session.
Unbelievably, she has over 40 years of hands-on healing and teaching experience — something you might not guess straight away, as we’d happily describe her as our healer who is forever young at heart.
Whilst Gillian has been healing for many years, she also built and ran a number of successful businesses — from manufacturing to spas and even a cleaning company in her “retirement”. That entrepreneurial spirit, combined with her natural intuition, makes her both grounded and incredibly effective as a therapist and healer.
At Shhh Holistic, Gillian leads all of our Reiki training, guiding students through Reiki Levels 1, 2, 3 and Master. Her teaching style is supportive, insightful, and occasionally a little mischievous… especially when she decides to share an embarrassing story or two about our founder — which, to be fair, is one of the risks of having your mum on the team.
Deborah Lloyd
Deborah’s journey with homeopathy spans more than three decades, beginning as a personal passion that naturally grew into a lifelong vocation. Her dedication to this gentle yet powerful approach to health has only deepened over the years, and it’s something she brings wholeheartedly into every consultation.
She completed her formal training at the prestigious Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, graduating in 2011 with a BSc in Homeopathy. Deborah also holds a Licentiate from the Centre for Homeopathic Education in Great Ormond Street, reflecting her extensive training and deep knowledge within the field.
Alongside her professional path, Deborah is also a mum to four boys — an experience that has given her a real, lived understanding of the importance of balance, wellbeing, and practical holistic care within busy family life. This blend of professional expertise and personal experience allows her to support individuals and families with warmth, empathy, and insight.
At Shhh Holistic, Deborah shares the profound benefits of homeopathy with a calm and caring approach, helping clients find balance, restore wellbeing, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. She looks forward to being part of your wellness journey.
Josephine Knechtli
Having worked extensively as a client with Shelly during her rock bottom regular era, Josephine has since studied and trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, with a keen interest in finding solutions for what others deem impossible problems. She will meet you exactly where you are, map out what you want to move towards, and find a gentle, precise pathway forward for you to navigate together as a team.
Josephine is qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Coach, Menstrual Mentor, and — as she might admit — has even had a stint as a Womb Priestess.
Her main client base is late-identified neurodivergent women who have done a lot of talk therapy, gained an acute level of self-awareness, and are now wondering how to genuinely move forward and lead their lives as who they are today. Hypnotherapy is the how.
Josephine also works with teenagers and their parents, taking an open and honest approach to navigating school refusal (EBSA), overwhelm, self-harm, and the general challenges of the teenage years — while encouraging self-expression and a more comfortable family dynamic.
