My name is Tina Brinklow and I am the owner of Essence of Nature. This was originally called Rainbow Oasis and was set up in 2006, as a centre for personal development and emotional healing, where people could come for a range of therapies on a one-to-one basis, or attend workshops in a safe and confidential environment.
I have been interested in holistic and spiritual matters for over 30 years and I am passionate about helping people to understand themselves better and move forward in their lives, in whatever way is best for them. As a Self-Discovery and Empowerment Coach, I help people to rediscover the true essence of who they are, feeling empowered to go out into the world as their authentic selves.
I have developed a special interest in the mind-body connection and I enjoy helping others to develop their own self-awareness. I often use creative tools with my clients as a way of deepening self-discovery and as a powerful therapeutic tool. I find it to be a great way of dealing with stress and a valuable means of self-expression.
My areas of expertise and interest range from personal development, boosting self-esteem, self-care, coping with stress, decluttering and relationship issues to assertiveness training and organisational skills.
Let me be your guide, shining a light on how to come home to your true self, to help you remember who you really are. Come on that journey with me and you’ll be amazed at what you will discover!
I have always had a deep connection with nature and feel that it underpins so much of my life. I now offer Forest Bathing and other activities involving nature, as a way of staying both emotionally and mentally healthy, as well as helping us to rediscover the essence of who we are.
My passion for holistic health led me to set up a monthly Mind, Body and Spirit group called Horsham Holistic Health which I ran for 13 years.
Academically, I have gained a Diploma in Personal Performance Coaching from The Coaching Academy, a Certificate in Counselling from the University of Surrey, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Crawley College, and I am on The Dr Edward Bach Foundation International Register of Bach Flower Remedy Practitioners.
I live in Horsham, West Sussex with my husband, son and cat, and when I am not working, you will probably find me walking in nature with my camera!
