A new age shop has weaved its magic to help many of its customers overcome obstacles in their lives.

With the help of herbs, crystals and guidance, the owners of Enchanted, in Northfield Avenue, West Ealing, have helped many cope with a range of issues from bereavement to loneliness.

The shop, which is also a haven as well as a local hub, is run by sisters Amanda and Georgia Moore with the help of their mum Jane Henley-Simpson.

Jane used to run The Village wine bar with her former husband Tony Moore, who nominated the shop during a visit from the USA.

Tony said: “I listen to the people who go into their shop and say how much they have helped them. They are part of the community. It’s a bit like The Village wine bar was. They have all created that closeness.”

Amanda said they had always been ‘spirituality open’ and she and her sister decided to open Enchanted after a visit to Glastonbury about 13 years ago.

She said: “The aim of the shop is to be here for whatever our customers need.

“People come searching for different things, whether it’s peace of mind or health issues, and we are just here to guide them or sell the tools to help them.

“We can and do refer people to a herbalist if that’s what they need, but we don’t say we will heal them.

“If they want a stone or crystal we will suggest they see or feel what they are drawn to and they decide.

“We get teenagers who are anxious about their exams and some come back and say the crystal helped. It could just be their own belief. We are normal, not airy-fairy.”

People have come to the shop from across Europe, with one person catching the Eurostar after hearing about Enchanted, which also sells meditation tapes and tree-free greetings cards, as well as holding courses and tarot readings.

Some customers pop in just to drop off a cake for the women.

Georgia said: “People have been coming here for years. When we opened there was nothing like it in the area.

“Now the customers are our friends and often just come in to unload, which is fine. We have watched people progress, such as improving their self-esteem.”

Jane, who has also done a fair amount of acting – she was Princess Leia’s double in Star Wars and a dead body in An American Werewolf in London – and has met the legendary John Wayne, said: “We get a lot of people who just want to talk, who have been bereaved and we are happy to just listen.”
