Energy is my field: how to harness it, work with it , heal and flourish with it. I've been helping and teaching people for a decade. I come from a line of gifted healers and also attained a distinction in Bio-energy Therapy by The Bi-Aura Foundation and completed my Reiki Master/Teacher level training with the amazing Walid Ghoneim whilst he was in the UK. I studied Australian Bush Flower essences in Sydney. Everything in life is energy and I can't think of a single aspect of life that I haven't at some stage positively helped someone with. Health, well being, careers, relationships, family, homes, animals, businesses- everything can be helped by tapping into the wisdom of your own energy field and that's what I help people like you to do.
I'm here to help. I've been lucky enough to help hundreds of people all over the world. I've been blessed to have worked with clients and students from every background and walk of life. A common thread unites us all: a deep desire for true connection to self, to love and harmony with life around us. Sometimes all we ever really need is a little help to realize and give ourselves this.
Prior to working as a Practitioner I worked in the pharmaceutical
and retail industries in sales and performance management.
Personal Background
You may be like many others and find the personal stories of people like me interesting. So here's mine...
My mother was a naturally gifted and very reticent healer. My paternal Grandmother was a closet psychic. Despite the fact that both me and my sister Natalie were born with a heightened and active sixth sense our abilities were not nurtured during childhood. (Today Natalie also works as a healer, psychic and holistic life coach). Life changed when I got my own library card and a whole other world opened up for me. Through books on all aspects of ESP I indulged my passion and shared my realities with authors from all over the world. Over time my reticent Mother engaged with hers too.
I was catapulted into healing myself with the onset of illness, as many other practitioners are. Before I caught glandular fever at the age of 17 I had great health. A month or two after I'd got over the immediate condition, I was diagnosed with post-viral fatigue. My whole world collapsed. Over the next several years my system crashed. I had no energy, no joy, no pleasure in anything and certainly nothing that could be called 'health'.
Orthodox medicine had little to offer. I saw numerous physicians but all they could agree on was what wasn't wrong with me. Eventually I was put on anti-depressants and told that I was "just very sensitive".
Several years later I decided that I was clearly the only person who could ever help me. Having been fascinated by various aspects of metaphysics as a child I started by training myself to harness the power of my mind. My mind was obviously sick- it raced with thoughts and left me feeling exhausted and suffocated. If I could have opened up my skull to let the pressure out and the air in I would have! This had been my reality since late childhood. The time for action came when my mind started to fixate on suicide every time I crossed the road. I knew that this wasn't my reality (I could never have committed suicide) but I did need to change. My final straw happened one evening when lying in the bath filled with bubbles.This time I heard my mind ask what would happen to me if I inhaled bubble bath in an attempt to drown. As soon as I heard this something in me shifted. I was no longer prepared to listen to anything my mind had to say- it was insane and I was no longer going to listen to its lunacy. It was immediately clear to me that if I cleared and disciplined my mind I could use it to help heal my body.
Gradually, I began to master my own mind. The realization that I was not my mind was wonderful and the impact this had on my health amazed me. My depression lifted, my body became less sluggish, I could exercise for the first time in years and I was better able to cope with the stresses and strains of university life. For the first time that I could remember my mind began supporting me rather than constantly warring with aspects of itself and what felt had felt like me.
Fascinated with how else I could feel healthier I began to study complementary and alternative medicine, examining everything from acupuncture to zero-balancing. I consulted a variety of therapists and complementary physicians. I spent over a year following a variety of detox, liver and all other sorts of dietary and supplementation regimens. My health improved, my energy levels increased and life seemed good. I was aware, however, that something was still missing.
I had heard wonderful stories of people feeling better and having amazing experiences with Reiki. Nervously I made my first appointment. During the session I felt strange sensations in my body and witnessed vivid visions. I believe I met and re-engaged with my essence, who I truly was, and wow did that feel good! Remembering who I was, reconnecting with my Spirit, was the crucial piece I had been missing all of my life. After weekly Reiki sessions for over a year my appetite for working and understanding energy was insatiable. My Reiki Master at that time asked if I wanted to learn which I did.
Life as a therapist began with my working as a volunteer at a temporary therapy-by-donation center. I surrounded myself with experienced energy workers from a variety of different healing systems where I effectively served out my apprenticeship. I learned everything I could from them (a lot!) and then eventually decided to learn Bio-energy therapy with The Bi-Aura Foundation , who teach Bio-energy Therapy in the UK and Ireland.
It became clear to me that it was time to switch my life-long interests into my full-time career. I left the pharmaceutical industry but continued to work with doctors in a private medical center at Medicalternative.
In retrospect, I can now map my own journey to health, self-discovery and spiritual development. I had taken a classic Mind-Body-Spirit approach to regaining my health which actually gave myself back to me. I am very grateful to my illness and to all obstacles that have ever been in my way. This may seem strange as most people perceive illness and obstacles as nuisances at best. But for me illness took me right back to metaphysics; to beyond my immediate physical environment (in this case my ability to read, feel and work with people's energy) and allowed me to help others on their journey to health and happiness too. My journey continues to enfold. Although I never asked for it, as my ability to work with energy increased so has my ability to 'read' energies in people, animals and spaces. When working with someone or entering an environment, my system downloads information on how things are at that given time. This skill, once I got used to working with it, has been very helpful and has allowed me to move into the field of psychoenergetic coaching. This means I can help people pinpoint and work with and through thought patterns, feelings and vibrational blockages without having to conventionally 'heal' with my hands. This is very helpful and I now do a lot of work over the telephone as I don't need to be in the same room to connect with you.
Since I was a child I had been able to feel energies that weren't physical. I began working with my angels and guides privately and for a long time I never told anyone that I could communicate with beings on the other side. Despite having psychics in the family I wasn't comfortable being labeled a 'psychic'. One of the first people I told was my cousin, a clinical psychologist. She told me that if I believed I could hear angels then I was certifiable. (She is a non believer but happy for others to have beliefs if they are helpful to their mental well being). I knew this and it took me a long time to become comfortable enough with this side of myself before I publicly admitted it. It wasn't until I was working with several individuals to help develop their skills that I decided to have the courage of my convictions to tell the world via my website.
Since then I now give spiritual readings to people all over the world and help many other psychics come to grips with the great energetic and physical upheaval that working with Spirit can bring.
I'm now developing a range of essences- again something I had never anticipated to do but was led to when the time was right. Working with flower and environmental essences feels as if my life long love of nature has come full circle for me personally and professionally.
Energy Medicine brought me to optimum health, awaking me and bringing my spirit back to life. I can promise you one thing: if your essence, your spirit, is not in your life you really want it there! I have seen my life and the lives of hundreds of people transformed and I feel grateful and privileged to each and every one of them for giving me an opportunity to help.
All those years ago my GP was right: I was, and still am, "sensitive" but I've learned to use that to my advantage and to the benefit of others.The end of suffering hasn't meant the end of growth for me. I continue to evolve and unfold. This a good way to be.
