“I have learned much from disease which life could never have taught me anywhere else.” Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“An unrecognised disease was gnawing its way, unchecked, into my high flying, public relations, managing director, drinking, smoking, goodtime life during the late 80s.

By’ 89 I was unable to ignore it totally so I quit my 50 a day nicotine habit, aborted two decades of birth control pills and compensated myself with a young musician, and a hefty mortgage on a new office building.
I took a trip to New Zealand to say goodbye to the man I always thought that “one day” I would marry and spent time in Australia to meet my natural sister for the first time.

Guess what? It didn’t go away. It hadn’t worked!
I did though; loving it and telling myself that I needed the money. I worked and worked until my 7-strong staff got together and hit me with a few facts about its affects on me.
They landed full on the chin. So, I fired them. All of them, well the ones that didn’t quit.

At Christmas I underwent an ‘ emergency’ operation that was to put an end to it. Guess what? It didn’t go away though it did get an official medical name “post operative fatigue”.

Some days I could not talk. Others I could not walk so I taught my self to swim backstroke to feel flexible; to move and improve.
Progress was a gift and from a quarter of a length, by the end of the summer I exhalted in 24 glorious turns of the small pool. It felt as good as running a marathon.
I was not only strengthening inner organs, I was regaining my determination; my spirit.

Dr Robert Jacobs, my homeopath and guide had told me it was essential to “give my brain at least a year off”
It took me nearly that time to find out how that could be possible for a woman who thought on her feet and was always one step ahead.
Even with his remedies, vitamin, & mineral supplements, the teachings from the IChing and Sound Healing, it took time to recover, and during that transitional time I began to explore the wonderful world of natural healing.
By the time I had acquainted myself with crystal healing, astrology and tarot, my meagre diet of vegetables, rice and water was expanded to include minimal fruit and an occasional fillet of fish.
Indeed my wellness was wonderful.

Much improved, I travelled to my family in Australia for a few months of tlc.
I began to learn yoga one-to-one…had to be one-to-one because I could still achieve so little physical movement with certainty..
The strengthening yoga enlightment has continued with me throughout the following 15 years as almost a way of life, brightening the days when I allow myself time to embrace a few stretches and spend precious moments BEing instead of Doing!

When I returned to London I added other physical disciplines, with the help of American Beth Jacobson (Feldenkreis) and German Professor Ilse Middendorf (The Perceptible Breath) The Lord Yehudi Menuhen (toning and music therapy) Chris James’ sacred sound (discovering my naturally beautiful voice and the power within) before embarking upon the mysterious and adventurous world of body therapies.

In 1993, an American living in Denmark (Stanley Rosenberg) taught me cranio-sacral therapy and I began to practise and teach the specially formulated craniosacral exercises.
I went on to teach in Australia, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Israel.
I had first. completed a course of anatomy, physiology and massage, receiving an international qualification which was followed a couple of years later by Credit in Stress Management, Manual Lymph Drainage and Teacher Status with the International School of Sacred Sound.

I have been practising in Spain for 12 years now and many will remember Harmony Cottages and the myriad of workshops, musical events and weekend talks for personal development of mind, body and spirit that we enjoyed in the tranquil, palm filled, courtyard.
When I moved to a large house I changed emphasis and concentrated on body therapies, leading meditation groups and teaching voice and breathwork to telephone sales personnel, thespians and StageCoach children.
I accommodated holiday guests who enjoyed therapeutic weeks of calming mind, body and spirit.
I have moved on again and spent the last two years studying EFT, Hypnotherapy, Regression and Past Life Therapy.
I’m fascinated, and shocked sometimes, that our past has such an influence on our present.
Not only from our childhood & adolescence but also from previous lives & the lives of our parents & ancestors; these accumulated emotions – fear, anger, guilt, sorrow - affect our physical and mental well-being as well as our spirit; our drive, our confidence, our generosity, our sense of being able to achieve and be prosperous in all aspects of our lives.

Don´t let ruin your life!

I can De- you...
