All those years at school & we were never taught how to find more love in our lives.
Never given the space to understand our emotions, express ourselves fully, live life on our own terms.
Not allowed to embrace the wonder, beauty, pain & depth of life!
Love School provides you with the space to:
Connect with yourself & your experience on a deep level.
Find health, wellness & healing...naturally, holistically, on your terms.
Improve your relationships as you understand the skills & art of love!
Find healing for the core wounds driving your circumstances & behaviour, even if other membership spaces haven't provided what you need!
Love, healing, and simply living life affect our mind, our body & our spiritual or emotional experience. We need to be aware of ourselves, others, our environments & the circumstances that all contribute to our wellbeing.
Love School provides content that meets all these needs.
Even if you're only ready to explore one area of healing, to find more love in your life, the information is there ready for you when you are!
You can buy access to individual courses or if you prefer to gain LIFETIME access to ALL our courses (including our future releases) you can buy the entire curriculum!

Before you choose this space to support you, its important you understand what we stand for1
Love School is an online space that offers courses, community, & one to one support.
We generally support people with:
Trauma, Abuse or Neglect Recovery.
Neurodivergent Unmasking.
Personal Development & holistic Self Help.
Recovery from Grief, Addiction or Chronic Stress-Related Conditions.
We also best support people with the following mindset/worldview:
Spiritual
Creative
Neurdivergent
Introverted
Nature Lovers
Alternative View/Non-mainstream
Generally, this would be:
People who want to work alone, at their own pace and avoid in-person meetings or group sessions/activities, etc.
People who can’t access therapies or sessions in person but want to focus on healing.
People who prefer to deep dive and like to hyperfocus and are ready to commit to a fully holistic healing and recovery process.
People who don’t want to rely on charity or other organisations and prefer to pay their own way, be private or independent.
People who have an alternative view, maybe those awakened to power dynamics, conspiracy theories, have an interest in energy, new age ideas or spirituality.
Our work at Love School is:
Rooted in Nature - We understand that people are natural beings, part of nature and therefore reconnecting with nature and relying upon nature as part of the healing process is beneficial. We establish our ideas around people connecting with their true nature as a human and their spiritual nature as an energetic being exploring life and bound to certain principles and realities of our existence.
Anti-Pathology - We don’t use labels or define people as having “disorders” when their responses are natural and understandable given their circumstances or experiences. We don’t believe or have evidence that the psychiatric industry is helpful for most people or that their theories are based on verifiable, scientific or medical evidence.
Victim-Focused - We focus on people at the centre of their experiences and are not focused on external interventions that require them to rely on other people or blame them for their responses to their experiences. We explore the balance between self-responsibility and where social responsibility avoids or neglects to tackle violence, abuse or oppression culturally.
Non-ideological - We don’t adopt modern ideas that require a deviation from natural language or biological realities. We do explore energy and grounded perceptions of these ideas. We seek balance and explore the nuance between spiritual expression and physical limitations. We do assume that at some point in their lives, people will experience trauma and periods of pain or suffering, and it is normal to have to learn to overcome victimisation and power dynamics as part of maturing and personal growth. People can not be protected from life happening to them.
Slow and Steady - In our experience, full recovery is likely to take years more than weeks or months, and our deep dive approach is designed for a long-term healing and recovery process. We do offer courses that are designed to be quicker, and some offer a year-long guided process, but all our work builds on one another for an in-depth, holistic approach.
Our three core principles of what we teach and share as our process are through skill building and practical experience.
Ecosystem Mindset - considering body, mind, spirit energy, emotions, relationships, and environments. Understanding how everything is connected and affects each area of life.
Shadow Work - understanding the motivations and conditioning that drive the deeper reasons why we do what we do, why we feel how we feel and exploring the core wounds and needs we have to heal and recover.
Life Design - making practical steps and consciously redesigning life that suits the individual. Gathering data and evidence of what works for you, exploring authenticity, and meeting needs in helpful ways.
We also explore love in the three aspects of loving self, others and life. This is looking at how we care for ourselves, how we interact with others, and how we process life events.
Love School is designed to be outside of the norm and an active alternative to the current, mainstream routes and offerings. Mainly because:
We believe that when connected with their innate, sacred power, people can solve their own problems and that their personal growth and personal evolution are entangled with that process. The more others intervene, and they try to take over or take part in that process, the more people are being conditioned to give away rather than evolve and integrate their power and personal potential.
We see how everything is connected. Recovery is complex when dealing with trauma, mental health, chronic illness and the manifestations of health and well-being and relationship issues.
I have had spiritual experiences, and my life path has guided me through a spiritual process of understanding life and the world, and I do not separate these experiences. My understanding of the mind, trauma recovery and energy has all come as part of following my spiritual path and not through any specific, formal training in this area.
I personally (as the host of the pace) have no personal evidence or lived experience of working with mainstream systems (doctors, talking therapy and medications, etc.) that helped me recover, beyond (at best) temporary or short-term relief. These approaches actually caused me more harm as I was neglected, ignored and left waiting for support, only to be given labels and advised lifelong medication as a "treatment" plan with no actual help to heal. Eventually, taking personal responsibility and connecting with God as part of my soul's evolution was ultimately required for my healing and recovery.
That being said, we know that people struggle within the current system when they are left craving some support and understanding. The lack of support can become very difficult, and the huge array of information and conflicting online information probably doesn’t help often.
It can also often take a radical shift in thinking or drastic circumstances or after years of trying to find support and failing, for someone to choose to embrace the deeper and potentially more isolated and complex route we offer at Love School.
The varied courses we offer do explore different levels of depth and understanding for people who would need or want entry-level or introductory support to the concepts presented here.
Our approach does seem to be a little different to what is usually considered holistic, as in we don’t necessarily weigh any preference toward one particular theory type of choice. Rather, we understand that different modalities, practices and therapies will help people at different stages, and we consider the ecosystem mindset and the holistic nature of recovery as an adaptable, personal journey.

Why it all began!
Love School was founded by host & mentor Terri Lee-Shield during the lockdowns in 2020. When work was stopped on the land-based projects she had been developing since 2016, she faced a period of reflection and empowerment.
She uncovered a desire to share her knowledge & wisdom to support others to find their own path of wellness & healing as she had experienced.
"I struggled to find a place that hosted all the information I wanted in a cohesive way. I had to piece together random content and search from social media and the internet to try and make sense of this complex, holistic journey I was uncovering.
I wanted a place where it was all considered; body, mind, spirit, how trauma affects us, relationships, our environment, work, societal influences & our connection to life. But it didn't exist.
So, I decided to create the space I desired and Love School was born."
When struggling to find balance in her personal life, finding work and relationships becoming overwhelming she needed a more organised way to support a path to wellness. As a Permaculture design consultant, Terri found the processes and tools used to design land projects particularly relevant.
She used the work by Looby Macnamara to design a Permaculture process which helped her to make sense of her healing journey. Being more conscious of the process enabled her to work through and heal her hidden trauma that was causing a myriad of symptoms.
This was the basis of the work which was the foundation of Love School.
"I developed my design work using the life skills I had learned which had benefitted me, from observations I had made of nature, people & ecosystems.
This knowledge came from developing community projects and also as part of my personal healing journey.
I had spent many years unraveling the triggers, masking, conditioning, and external manipulations that were causing so much inner distress as I had internalised this to a point of mental illness and physical pain."
"Through this work, I have developed my own strand of Life Design and Shadow work tools that have helped me to recover from my trauma related symptoms and consciously create an alternative way of living that supports me to thrive.
I like to solve problems and empower people using nature to solve our man-made problems seeing life as an ecosystem and using this knowledge and insight to create life affirming systems.
I offer an overview and higher perspective or deeper understanding of things which I am naturally good at and now offer one to one in my mentorship container Mama Bear Mentorship, accessible through Love School."
