Melanie Thomas
BA Hons Ind Des Designer Geomancer

Melanie initially trained as an Industrial Designer, and subsequently set up her own craft pottery as well as teaching a variety of arts, crafts and music, in Further and Adult Education.

Since early childhood she had shown psychic abilities but had played them down so as not to be seen as strange. However she later realised that these abilities could make a valuable contribution to helping others, and trained in counselling, interpersonal skills, arts therapies and healing, teaching short courses for the caring professions.

She became adept at dowsing and channelling information, and did much personal healing. Gradually it became clear that the same healing techniques could be applied to places as well as people and she found her vocation as a geomancer.

David Ellis
Dip Arch- Dip TP Architect Geomancer

David trained initially as an Architect and subsequently as a Town Planner. He worked in public and private practice as an architect and later became a full time lecturer in Architecture. As well as teaching, he also devoted his energies to initiating voluntary, environmental and community development projects. All along he felt a strong connection to the spiritual dimension of landscapes and buildings, with a particular interest in sacred geometry. Gradually, through the practice of meditation, dowsing and personal development, he became aware of the intricate patterns of subtle energies in the landscapes and the cities we inhabit, and he also found his vocation as a geomancer.

Melanie and David first met in 1986, each having independently researched landscape healing, and found that they had literally been 'working along the same lines' but from a different perspective. Finding that their approaches were complimentary, they began practising together as geomancers, and building up a reputation, formed the Earthwise Geomantic Consultancy in May 1994. They have worked for a great variety of individuals, communities, businesses and projects, and with architects, surveyors, engineers, landscape architects and artists.
