Spiritdancer
Middle Eastern Dance and Healing
Spiritdancer is a site created by Shamira (Carolyne) of Somerset to promote Raqs Sharqi, Bellydance, Reiki healing, Palmistry, Tarot and other therapies.
I am passionate about this dance, which I teach and perform, and I am also a professional therapist, Tarot reader and teacher, Elemental palmist (Chirologist), teacher of Palmistry, and Reiki healer and teacher.
This website is undergoing some major changes whilst I learn to use a new web design program.
