I thought you would like to know a little about me; who I am and how I might be able to help you.
I am the mother of eight children, and grandmother to six, and have been living in Glastonbury since 1973.
I originally worked as a teacher of English to secondary age pupils, after gaining an honours degree in English Literature from York University.
While bringing up my (now adult) children, the youngest of whom has disabilities, I spent several years as a bereavement counsellor with CRUSE, and worked as a Portage home visitor for families with pre-school SEND children.
At the same time I retrained in a wide range of traditional bodywork techniques and Stress Management, later adding Bowen, Healing and Reiki to my repertoire. I used these three modalities plus Stress Management exclusively for the next 20 years.
I am a natural intuitive with a deep and abiding love of the natural world. Every day for me starts with a quiet walk at dawn, to greet the day, still my mind and refresh my body. It is my meditation time; a time of reflection and insights. My own profound and unwavering spirituality guides and nourishes my life, and is the foundation and bedrock of all my work.
Helping people through difficult experiences is my passion, whether the problem is physical pain, emotional distress, spiritual suffering, or simply feeling lost. Guiding people through spiritual distress and confusion is something I find particularly rewarding. Sometimes we simply need to tell someone what it is that’s troubling us. We need to be heard and acknowleged. I can offer advice where appropriate, insight if possible, and an attentive listening ear.
My own experience bringing up a child with disabilites has given me a deep interest in working with those who care for others, whether because of disability, ill-health or drug/alcohol use, and I am very committed to supporting others through the stress and emotional turmoil of their caring responsibilities .
Healing is a time-honoured way to refresh and restore the whole person....physical, emotional and spiritual. It is deeply relaxing and offers you the chance to let go and allow some good feelings to come through. If you cannot get to me for any reason, Distant Healing is a lovely alternative, and every bit as effective.
Tarot readings offer you the opportunity to look afresh at a problem or situation with perspective and understanding. Although they cannot “see into the future”, they can give a sense of the direction of travel. Often the insight from a reading can be life-changing. My background is Jungian, having undergone several years of Jungian dreamwork therapy at one point in my life, and I have a life-long interest in the language of symbols.
I have been in practice since 1995.
If you like what you have read, and feel I might have something to offer you please do get in touch.
I can offer you help by phone or Skype from the peace and privacy of my Healing Room if physical visits are not possible.
