My Story

I feel I have experienced many lives in just this one lifetime. But throughout them all winds the common thread of wishing to better understand the meaning of life, and to live in an authentic, happy, balanced and loving way. The natural world and my connection with my spiritual core have sustained me through the challenging periods. Now I am excited to be working with clients again, sharing what I have learned along my journey.  

My childhood love of animals and the natural world drew me to study agriculture, and I went on to become a sheep farmer. By chance, my local vet offered homeopathic medicine. I became so impressed by the results, that we began running trials on the farm. Several years later, following a change in my circumstances, I followed my intuition – embarking on a four-year training in Holistic Homeopathy. 

After graduating I developed a busy practice from my home in North Devon, with clients consulting me on a wide range of issues. I developed my understanding of illness – both mental and physical – and the underlying causes of illness fascinated me enormously. Realising the immense power of our minds, I embarked on a study of hypnotherapy and completed a diploma, a post-diploma, and a whole range of masterclasses. The results in my practice were exciting and I was particularly drawn to work with metaphysical hypnosis. 

During this period I was also developing an interest in meditation, and attended regular classes with a psychic teacher. I completed a Diploma course in Astrology too.

By 2006, my past traumas – which had always been bubbling under the surface – finally came to the fore. I found myself increasingly unable to operate and support myself. Realising that I was going to need time to unravel and heal my pain, I took the seemingly drastic step of closing down my practice: and relocating to the Balkans, where I could focus on my healing journey. 

The trauma of my childhood and teenage years had resulted in my suffering lengthy periods of depression, as well as oppressive suicidal thoughts – culminating in a suicide attempt at age 19. Deep down, I knew that there must be more to life than this… a purpose in all the suffering. This launched me on a lifelong quest to understand the meaning of life. 

Despite having made significant progress on my own healing journey during the intervening years, there was more that needed to be done to free me from my past.

The first 10 years consisted of unwinding, meditation, reading (particularly theosophical and spiritual works); and growing, preserving and foraging my own food. I practised Vipassana meditation, which included sitting and serving on numerous 10- or even 20-day silent retreats. I backpacked alone, sometimes for months at a time, in Ghana, India, Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.

The last few years I spent living alone, in a cottage in an almost abandoned village in the Balkans. Here, I deepened my relationship with nature, and my spiritual life took a quantum leap forward. I have dipped into several of my past lives – almost spontaneously – giving me the opportunity to integrate and heal deeper and deeper levels of my being. 

Throughout my life I’d had various psychic experiences… but now, communication with my higher self and guides is an essential and everyday part of my life. I follow my intuition, trusting that internal guidance above and beyond my own sense of logic. A whole new world has opened up to me as I have become more in tune with my true spiritual essence.

I have learned so much from my own personal journey, and from those of my therapeutic clients. I have seen that forgiveness of self and others is the greatest of liberators; that true love and joy come from within, and that even the deepest of wounds can be healed. 

I have learned the value of living in the present – neither distressed by past events, nor worrying about the future. I’ve found that regardless of difficulties that may arise in our personal or outer worlds, it is possible to return to a state of peace, joy and happiness within.

This potential is in us all. I am so excited to be working with clients, guiding others on their journey into wholeness.
