Sinéad Spearing is a writer and historian whose work traces the quiet threads of healing, devotion, and forgotten lives. Her writing blends historical scholarship with spiritual reflection, uncovering the stories of those who offered care, wisdom, and light in the margins of history.

She trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the Royal College of Music in London, later teaching flute at Benenden School in Kent. In later life, after earning a first-class honours degree in Psychology with Philosophy, she turned her focus to the emotional and spiritual legacy of healing practices across time.

Sinéad is the author of several acclaimed books exploring early English remedies and the lives of women who worked in service of others through medicine, midwifery, and quiet faith. Her translations of Old English medical texts have been praised by Professor Jacalyn Duffin of the National History Museum, and her work has been featured by the British Psychological Society and invited into the archives of televised historical documentaries.

Invited to speak at institutions including the Royal Society of Pharmacology and The Old Operating Theatre Museum in London, Sinead continues to be sought after as a historical consultant.

Her forthcoming book explores the revelations of Julian of Norwich — a woman whose vision of divine love and spiritual resilience still speaks to those living through uncertainty and silence.

Sinéad lives in the English countryside with her husband and their cats, where she continues to write, research, and walk the bramble path that winds through history and faith.
