Volunteer Positions
Healer Volunteer Opportunity, Birmingham Good Hope Hospital
Rebecca Brewster is looking for volunteers to work alongside her under the guidance of top Gastroenterologist, Dr Sukhdev Singh.
A number of years ago Dr Singh supported a huge body of research within his department that allowed fellow healer, Sandy Edwards to compile the compelling evidence into the benefits of Healing within the NHS and specifically within his Department. Sandy then went on to write a book about her experience titled ‘Healing in a Hospital’.
Rebecca has been fortunate to follow in Sandy's footsteps and has now worked alongside Dr Singh since April 2023. However, due to logistics and her personal clinic work, she is currently only able to volunteer one day a month at Good Hope Hospital, Birmingham. She would therefore like to encourage more volunteer healers to join her, with a view to building a network of healers who will work alongside Dr Singh and in the wider Hospital environment.
This is an incredible opportunity to work within the NHS and develop your skills as a healer. The role is purely on a voluntary basis, parking and subsistence are not currently covered. This is however a truly incredible opportunity for anyone who would like to deepen their skills and network as a healer.
Please email Rebecca directly via contact@the-white-sanctuary.com if you are interested.
