I was born in Somerset, and lived in the West Country until the age of 4 when my family moved to Middlesex - where I spent the rest of my childhood. I enjoyed good health - running and cycling as an adolescent and dancing my way into my 20`s, where I was working on a career in Nursing and Social Care.  I  had always been known for my high energy and insatiable appetite for life. During my 20`s, I endured a series of events which interfered with my boundless energy, but I seemed always to bounce back easily then.  However, after a long line of these events (a serious car crash, a ruptured fallopian tube, a divorce, personal traumas and virus).  I experienced my first symptoms of long-term fatigue and it lasted for 2 years.

I worked hard to recover and reset my life with the help of good friends and I put myself into counselling - learning much and getting my life back on track. I raised my eldest son whilst living and working independently for many years, and I continued to read and self-study every aspect of self-healing, inner-change, spiritually or otherwise - I wanted any information that I could get my hands on.  My appetite for understanding of the mind, body and spirit grew and this has never diminished.  I found myself being in and witnessing many of lifes-experiences, and somehow always seem to be connected to people needing or giving help just at the right time.  

By my 30`s, I had remarried and moved to Brighton - where I went on to have  more children (despite the medical profession telling me I would never have any more children).  I continued to self-study and work my way through as many of my life-issues as I possibly could, and all seem to be relatively good when life changed dramatically after the birth of one of my child, and I was knocked sideways by a virus.

I never recovered from that virus properly and the over the next 7 months became largely house-bound with fatigue, foggy-headiness, weakness, pain, a severe chest-infection, heart and digestive disturbances and various other symptoms.  After many tests I was diagnosed with M.E and Fybromyalgia.  This lasted for 7 years and it devastated my life.  I set about pulling on all the learning information and sources I had researched over the years and fed myself with even more books to absorb, in my quest for a cure.  Something the medical profession said they had no answers to - offering little hope of finding a way back to health.  However, I deeply believed, by that time in my life, that if I was born fit and healthy - well then I could be that again, and that my symptoms were simply just "blocks" in my well-being for a reason.  I just had to find the key/reason to what it was - to unlock them.  I worked through many symptoms using all the self-healing knowledge I had and with the support from my wonderful husband together with help from my dear spiritually-linked friends, I did indeed eventually start to regain some of my health and gave the impression - that I was living a normal healthy life but the reality was I could not sustain the recovery.  I often fell back into the miserable pit of M.E - time and time again.  It was not that all of my hard work to recover was lost - it was more like the glue I used to hold it altogether was not the right one and it just was not enough to know the whys and wherefores sometimes.

One day, I heard a debate on the radio about the Lightning Process - people were phoning in saying they had fully recovered (and in rapid time) from M.E There was lots of sceptism from other callers saying it was brain-washing nonsense and anyone who had recovered could not have had M.E in the first place. Another year passed and a friend sent me a book written by Alex Howard called Why M.E.  His story - about his journey through M.E had me spell-bound - it was so similar to mine, even though his life was so very different to mine.  He spoke of the Lightning Process to secure his complete recovery and I just knew that I had to have it too.  I went for the Lightning Process and was in a relapsed state the night before.  By the end of Day 1 of the 3 day training, I knew I did not have to do M.E ever again.  I came home each night after visiting my friend and then went running!   It was amazing!  I was back and ready to change my life forever.  It was like I had waited for that moment all my life and I knew that all my life`s experiences had come together in that moment- the Lightning Process was the start of a new journey.I knew I would train in this process and work in holistic healing circles in a whole new way.

After training in the Process, I have since gone on to study in advanced courses in clinical excellence and have brought my skills together to work in a unique way in the healing field. I currently now run my own practice - at Betchworth House in Chideock (West Dorset) and also Brighton (Sussex),  meeting many people and witnessing incredible change.  I continue to learn and be amazed at the human capacity to heal itself, including myself!
