Pennie is a larger than life character who is dynamic, warm and a huge channel for unconditional love and knowledge. Everyone who works with her is changed in a fundamental way; she inspires all who meet her. She is seen as an awesome spiritual midwife who will help and encourage all to be reborn into their own unique divinity and authentic selves. A trainer extraordinaire with over 20 years’ experience training in both the orthodox and complementary field, her history includes over 22 years in the orthodox medical field as a Senior Intensive Care Sister (Clinical Lead) in London.

She qualified as a Licensed Homeopath (LCH) 1996 and taught for over 7 years at the London School of Classical Homeopathy. She is also a Teaching Reiki Master since 1996 who wrote the Reiki Training, which Acorn to Oak has and continues to deliver to hundreds of people. Pennie trained as a Bodhisoul® Breathwork Practitioner in 1998 with Christina Thomas-Fraser (Director of the Inner Light Institute, USA) and went on to create the Breath₄Life™ Breath Work Programme; she also developed and has trained Breath₄Life^TM Breath Work Practitioners in the UK and Europe. Pennie has been a Life Coach since 1999 and is co-creator of the Coach₄Life™ and Skills₄Life™ Programme. Pennie has also been an NLP Master Practitioner since 1997, a Spiritual Response Therapy Practitioner since 2005 and a creator of the SRT₄Life™ Training.

One of Pennie's beliefs is that a spiritual person has to make every effort to walk their walk and in researching the concept of Soul Mates/Twin Souls/Twin Flames she asked the universe to show her evidence of it. She was provided with that evidence in 2006 and got married to her Twin Soul Luke Pearce in August 2007.

Through her experiences she went on to guide others to attract their life partners with awesome results and set up a 12 week coaching course to guide people to attract a soul mate.

When Pennie talks of her life experience she states "Its been rare and exciting, much like a story book... when I learned about the spiritual laws and energetics, how to work with them and not against them my life turned from struggle to ease... that does not mean I don't encounter challenges I do, however I choose to get through them with ease and grace." Pennie suffered from a massive right sided stroke in October 2014 which rob her of her speech and paralysed her down her arm and leg. She turned to Homeopathy to help her in recovery. Learning to rewire her brain she recover completely within 6 months and celebrated by retaking up skiing!!!. She says of this time "It was a really very interesting experience to have a near death experience and gain massive insights and gain the awareness that everything I had begun to teach was in fact "The Truth." which later lead to branding her private coaching practice as "The Truth is..."

This episode made Pennie reflect on her life so far... "I had only one regret... That Luke and I were childless, so we decided to change that and our son Hector Rayes Pearce was born on April 7th 2017. It is never to late to pursue a dream I was a 57 year old new mum... as the saying goes... it's not over until the fat lady sings!!!"

Pennie shared with a friend "2020 is going to be a pivotal year of change for me and Acorn to Oak.... wow" Well, she got that right!!! - When Pennie had a stroke in 2014 the medics found that one of the courses was Aortic Value Stenosis (Narrowing of one of the heart values) In February 2020 she underwent Major Heart Surgery to have a Aortic Value Replacement which went well but involves a 12 week recovery period with no lifting due to the sternal wound... Pennie says "Well, that was another interesting experience, which I prefer not to repeat!!!" Less than 4 weeks into recovery Hector became ill with Corona virus and the whole family went into self isolation. They all had it and were just coming out of isolation when the whole country/world went into Lock-down... It has been a challenging time for most people and has definitely changed the way we have revised our priorities in life. Later in March Pennie was taken into A&E diagnosed with Percarditis which IV antibotics helped and she is now 100% recovered. She returned to work in May 2020 and says "It been a challenging time, and reminded me that its important to live moment by moment... collecting the gifts... you know that's why we call it the present!!!" We have a lot of work to bring the training on-line but we will work tirelessly through it because the truth is... this work is what the world needs now.

Pennie is a member of the Self Realization Fellowship and a Kriya Yogi. She is the Founder of the Acorn to Oak Foundation (which is the non-profit organisation attached to Acorn to Oak, which helps vulnerable people gain the support and training they need). Her role now is to move Acorn to Oak forward from the days that it was a small teaching partnership to a national and international beacon for those who seek enlightenment of the soul. She is passionate about self and spiritual development for herself and helping and supporting others find, pursue and walk their own walk.

Pennie founded the British Institute of Breathwork (BIB) 2008 which ran courses in Breath Work for individuals who were interested in self-development, personal growth with personal evolution and professionals wanting to gain experience using breathwork as a tool. In March in 2013 Acorn to Oak was re-launched as "The International School of Energy Medicine".

Pennie has been working with individuals, groups, corporations and Government departments for well over 20 years. Her approach is unique, fun and dynamic. In sharing her experiences and knowledge with warm and gentle humour, she helps people grow and become the best they can be, fulfil their own dreams, have good health and happiness, while supporting them to achieve their goals.

Pennie is an example for all Acorn to Oak’s students; she works from the highest levels of integrity, empathy, spiritual understanding and encourages us all to take ourselves lightly.

One of her favourite quotes is from Einstein; - his definition of insanity... Is to keep repeating the same behaviour, time and time again, but expecting a different result. Change comes when we choose to act differently. What Pennie encourages us to do is make a change by using NED'S... New Empowering Decisions and doing the inner work needed to clear out sabotaging behaviours and mindset limitations.

The work that Pennie does helps people change their diary lives – it’s as simple as that!
