About Me

If you haven’t guessed it already from the name of my web site, my passion is to help people discover how to live a life of joy and abundance, health & well-being. To do this I work with EFT (emotional freedom techniques) and other bits and bobs I've picked up along the way.

I suffered anxiety and depression, fatigue and an underactive thyroid condition before finding healing with EFT. I am now passionate about helping others to find the next step on their own individual path to healing and feel honoured to be able to accompany people some way along their unique journey. My belief is that we all have our own innate drive towards health and well-being and when we are empowered with tools and belief, the sky is the limit. I just love working with EFT which enables me to work with a client's inner guidance and wisdom - at some level, we all seem to know what we need. I am continually awed and inspired by my clients' creativity.

I started life with the trauma of an emergency cesarean which has coloured my perspective on the world and of myself until recently. It is no surprise therefore that I have a strong interest in all things birth-related, particularly for those who were traumatized as babies going through the birth process. This has been an often-ignored and under-recognised trauma, with all the focus going on the mother’s ordeal and none on the baby. I have studied with the HypnoBirthing Institute and am passionate about empowering women to make heartfelt choices about their pregnancy and birth based on the knowledge and understanding that their baby is aware of everything that surrounds him.

My first degree is in music andI played both clarinet and piano. My partner and I ran a classical music recording and editing business successfully for many years and I felt privileged to help some great musicians and composers with their creations. However, at age 5, my eldest son was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and this brought me into contact with complementary therapy. I knew immediately that I wanted to become a therapist, but which therapy to choose? Eventually the therapy chose me and I studied hypnotherapy for two years.

I have long had a sense of being inexorably drawn into my own journey to discover my authentic self. Understanding who we are is at the core of the Human Design System which also blends beautifully with the Law of Attraction and EFT. Knowing how to make my decisions from the right place, which is different for each of us and is never ever the mind, has been a very important step towards living with well-being and happiness.

I decided to take the EFT training after having downloaded the free manual and tried it out for myself and with my clients. I was amazed at the results and continue to be appreciative of the generous open-handed way Gary Craig distributed the information. There is now a comprehensive library of articles on his web site as well as blogs, videos and teleclasses being held all over the world. It is unlike any other therapy I know of in this way information is so freely available.

EFT has helped me to overcome years of depression and anxiety, return my thyroid to normal functioning and to feel more content and confident in my role as a parent to two fantastic but challenging boys. It helped me to heal my own birth trauma and many painful memories from childhood which were interfering with my ability to be the kind of loving, calm and centered mother I wanted to be. I do so wish I had known about EFT before my children were born in similarly traumatic circumstances, although without surgery, but at least I know now that it is always possible to heal those traumas and that the work I do on my own healing benefits everyone in this family, not just me.

EFT for conception, pregnancy, childbirth and parenting is a large part of the work I do and is often known as Inner Child healing.

Because I believe that these children who are often labelled as ADHD, ODD, PDD or ASD or are often known as Rainbow or Indigo children, are so important to our future, I am currently involved with organisations where support is offered to parents so that they can appreciate the unique gifts of these children. It is our role to understand them and to help them achieve their full potential within a world which sees them as difficult and damaged - actually it is often the strictures of our societal rules that cause damage to their self-esteem and creativity.

Home educating, or unschooling, my eldest son has brought me the great delight of seeing his passionate and hugely energetic nature coming to the fore again. It also presents me with new challenges, helping me to break out of so many of my inherited beliefs about parenting, education and children’s developmental needs. As I’m giving him freedom to express himself, so I’m also discovering my own creative freedom.

During the summer I love to be out in my tiny but packed garden and I love sitting in the sun hearing the sound of the waves, surrounded by all the glorious colours of the flowers and plants. When the weather makes it more difficult to be outside, that creative energy tends to get channeled into painting. I love experimenting with oil paints and the way they mix on the canvas as the painting develops. I also still have my great love of classical music and, although I can no longer play as well as I used to, I still enjoy listening.

My personality profile is that of an INFP - archetype of Healer and my
Human Design profile is Projector 6/2.
