A Bit About Arte's Den

Arte's Den is run by Arte (aka Abby), a neurodiverse, queer, nonbinary (they/them) person who loves all things crystal, energy healing and anything witchy and "woo".

In Arte's words:

"Crystals and energy work in and of itself never ceases to amaze me and I feel like a kid watching some amazing magic trick when it comes to seeing it work in real time. 

Although I have undertaken formal training (which is, as always, ongoing!) I do rely heavily on my intuition to guide me, to walk alongside you and be your guide. I use a combination of energy work (also known as Reiki), crystal wands, pendulums and my hands, during sessions as well as an array of other crystals, depending on what is called for in the moment. I'm a Light Work and Warrior.

I'm the one you will see on social media and who will be responding to your queries as well as facilitating the healing sessions. 

As someone with ADHD who is married to someone who is autistic, with four neurodiverse children and many friends who also fall into that category, I take great pride in supporting neurodiverse folk. If you have any questions around this experience as a neurodiverse person, please reach out and I'd love to answer and put your mind at ease.

I'm supported by my partner, Mark (he/him), who is an Ovate following the Druid path. You can follow Mark's Druidry journey here, if that's your cup of tea."

Arte's Den is an inclusive, safe space. We are not only LGBTQIA+ friendly, we enthusiastically welcome all LGBTQIA+ people with open arms. We are a queer and neurodiverse owned business.

Arte's mission statement:

My mission is to guide souls on transformative healing journeys, offering a sanctuary where they can reconnect with their inner magic, embrace their authenticity, and heal the wounds carried through generations. Through a holistic and heart-centered approach, I combine the wisdom of crystal healing, intuitive practices, sacred rituals, and creative exploration to help individuals rediscover their power, navigate their shadows, and reclaim their truth.

In my work, I honour the cycles of nature, the guidance of ancestors, and the alchemy of energy and intention. I am passionate about creating spaces—both physical and virtual—where people feel seen, heard, and supported as they rise into their fullest potential.

Whether through one-to-one healing sessions, group workshops, or community gatherings, my vision is to inspire deep transformation, self-empowerment, and connection. I believe healing is a collaborative journey, and my role is to walk alongside you, holding space for your growth while offering tools and insights that support your unique path.

Rooted in compassion, ancient wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity, I aim to help you honour your own rhythms, uncover your gifts, and step boldly into the light of your own magic. Together, we will weave healing, community, and empowerment into a tapestry of lasting change, fostering a world where the sacred is celebrated, and every individual feels their inherent worth and belonging.
