Hello, I'm Sue
My name is Sue Bennison and I am a qualified Crystal Healer (ICGT Diploma) and Reiki Master.
I use these tools along with colour therapy to provide holistic treatments which enhance emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. I am passionate about helping people to realise their healing potential and love sharing the wonderfully natural power of energy healing.
I began my healing journey as a registered nurse (RNMH) supporting individuals with learning disabilities to reach their potential. I specialised in working with people with behaviour that was often very challenging, to them, to me and to the wider community. I loved this early part of my career where I could really help to make a difference to people who were often pushed aside by society through a lack of understanding and fear.
The helping theme continued when I moved in to the education sector supporting adult students to change their lives through study and learning and assisting them with finance and welfare issues.
During this time I took additional training and gained qualifications in counselling and advice and guidance undertook degrees in Social Work and Welfare Studies (BA Hons, MA).
I had always had an interest in holistic therapies, but this interest expanded in 2011 with my attunement to Reiki and then qualifying as a Crystal Healer in 2013. My friends and family were all willing volunteers as I developed my skills and became more and more attuned to energy healing.
In 2017 I decided that it was time to take the plunge and left my job at the University of Central Lancashire after 9 years and began the process of setting up my own holistic business.

Today
My life, like many people’s, has not always run smoothly with difficult life events and mental and physical illness including anxiety and depression. It took me a long time to realise that you can’t stop the challenging times, but if you learn to take the time to look after yourself and find the coping and healing tools that work for you, you may surprise yourself with how much easier it is to handle these situations and how much more you enjoy life.
For me, the key is for us all to look out for each other. It might sound like a cliché, but it means that everyone wins, kindness is so easy to give. The other person will feel better and you will feel so much better too and this can impact on your life more than you realise at the time.
Never underestimate the power of this.
At one of my lowest times, someone picking up a book off the floor for me made all the difference in the world
Such a small thing, but I suddenly felt visible, cared about and worth something. To this day the person who did this has no idea what they did for me that day. The fact that I remember it over 40 years later says it all.
And that’s the other exciting bit, that person may then pay that kindness on to others whether consciously or unconsciously.
So, today I run Sunstone Crystal Healing. Over the years I have helped my clients deal with many different challenges, including living with cancer and anxiety and sleep issues, by offering a supportive and nurturing environment. This has been both through voluntary work and my one to one and distance healing sessions.
Whether its energy healing sessions, delivering workshops or giving talks, I couldn’t be happier than when I am working.
My primary motivation is seeing the difference it makes to people’s lives. I am so happy that I can continue to support people, enabling them to heal, grow, transform or just be.
I look forward to meeting you!

"Sue developed a lovely rapport with the members of the group. We all warmed to her. Sue displayed a deep knowledge of the qualities and healing properties of the crystals and showed us various ways they could be used in different types of healing so that each treatment can be tailored specifically to the client.
