About Us

Hi, my name is Matthew Lindley.

From my school years onwards, my main interest was Chemistry and I went on to study it at Surrey University and gained a BSc 1st class honours degree. Following this, I went to Cambridge University where I did research for 3 years and successfully gained my PhD. I graduated in the autumn of 1979 and then moved to California to take up a postdoctoral research post at Stanford University working for Professor Carl Djerassi, often referred to as the father of the pill. Young, arrogant and full of myself, I was starting out on an adventure thinking the world was my oyster! That dream didn’t last long as, my world as I knew it, came crashing down after 3 months when I broke my neck whilst playing rugby.

This led to the 1st big change in my life; I spent 10 months recuperating in hospitals in the USA and the UK and on returning to Stanford, I was offered and accepted a post in the computing team as I could no longer work in the laboratories. It was 1980 and I took the view that computing was the future! After 2 more years in California followed by 2 years at Glasgow University, I joined ICI Pharmaceuticals as a Systems Analyst. I worked there for 22 years and by then the company was called AstraZeneca and I was known as a software developer.

The 2nd big change in my life began in 2006 when I developed Chronic Fatigue and was no longer able to work.

I was retired on grounds of failure of health at the start of 2007. Needing to be occupied, I was looking for things to do within the limits of the Chronic Fatigue. It was in the summer of 2008 that an idea began to emerge and take shape. I had begun using various complimentary therapies from 1994 (herbal remedies, reflexology, hypnotherapy) to maintain my life style. In 2003 I had met Jennifer Warters, Prinicipal of The Academy of Spiritual Sciences, a therapist who would become my tutor. I was introduced the Emerald Alignment and vibrational toning and began using these therapies on a daily basis.  Slowly I began to take responsibility for my own healing and changed my life style to adapt to the limitiations of my condition.

And so it was in 2008 that I realised that I wanted to train as a holistic therapist working with the Emerald Alignment, the vibrational toning and crystals. My training as a holistic therapist commenced and I qualified in the Spring of 2012.

My interest in working with crystals has grown and grown to such an extent that I started selling crystals and going to Mind Body & Soul Fairs. Along the way I met the makers of the New World Sculptures, Marco and Catherine, and was so taken by them that I became one of their sellers. And finally after much deliberation, I have launched this website.
