About Me


Early Years...

Many years ago I became interested in all things of a 'Spiritual Nature' as my up~bringing had not included or directed me in any particular Religious~Spiritual direction or towards any doctrine.
I had only been 'Christened' because an Aunt had suggested to my Mother that it was the done thing at the time, but we only ever attended a Church when a relative got married. 



One Christmas I was given a beautifully illustrated 'Children's Bible' and enjoyed looking at the stereo typical pictures of 'Jesus' that showed a kindly looking blue eyed, fair haired man administering to the young and vulnerable. I was particularly drawn to the images of the angels and other celestial beings who appeared as unseen guides and helpers assisting in the background .

I had spent most weekends at my Grandparents home, they appeared quite elderly to my young mind and so I was left to entertain myself as there were no other children who lived nearby to play with. I wasn't lonely and didn't mind, I loved drawing and developed a vivid imagination, so I could spend hours left to my own devices, inventing my own games.
Sunday afternoons we would watch a film on the television, I was quite sensitive because I always cried if the film was a sad one.
And that was it...........
My 'Spiritual Upbringing in a Nutshell'

Then When I Grew Up.......

I was in my early twenties when a friend told me excitedly that she had planned a visit to see a 'Medium', I really had no idea what she meant at the time. Was she going to have her fortune told ?
My friend was amused at my lack of knowledge and said that a 'Medium' was not a fortune teller, but a person who could communicate with those in the 'Spirit World' ~ someone who could talk with the 'Dead'.


My grandparents and most of my other relatives were still alive, so I didn't know many dead people who I thought would want to talk to me.....
But I was fascinated and  intrigued.
So my friend gave me a book about the life of a well known British Clairvoyant Medium. I found the book captivating as it told the story of her life in a down to earth, 'every day' kind of way and it answered questions about 'Life and Death' that I hadn't even thought of asking. She had been an 'ordinary normal' person, leading a 'normal ordinary' life. She simply had an extraordinary ability.

Reading her book was like assembling a jigsaw and realising that there was a much bigger picture, one that I had no knowledge of what so ever. It was as though I had been living on some remote island that never knew of the existence of the rest of the world and all it's potential.

I wanted to know more........
Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans ~ said John Lennon
And whilst I wanted to discover this 'Other World', I found that living in this one took up almost all my time. I had gone through some life changing events and had trained to be an holistic therapist working for Social Services as I wanted to help others in some way.
It was suggested to me that I train as a 'Healer' and so I joined a local group, but it didn't seem to 'work' for me. I wondered if you had to be 'Gifted' or 'Highly Sensitive'.


Then someone told me about Reiki healing and I was rather sceptical because of my previous experience.
To try is to risk failure ~ but to not try at all is failure guaranteed...
So I gave it a go and attended a course was rather impressed, as I'd had a very painful foot condition for months that made walking a misery. During the treatments that we gave each other, I became aware of sensations in that leg, when I got off the couch, the pain was gone ....
And it didn't return.

This was the beginning of my work with 'Energy'.

Since that time I have wanted to explore, experience, understand and validate the things that are sometimes beyond the clinical tests of science, those things that our technology cannot validate because we have yet to create the machines that can measure and record them simply because we don't have that knowledge yet.
Like the existence of the Soul after the physical body dies......

I have trained with a variety of teachers and learnt many different ideas and ways of doing things.
I trained as a Hypnotherapist as I wanted to do something more mainstream and generally accepted, but I have come to realise that even when we consider taking the most reasonable of detours, they ultimately lead us back to the path that we intended to walk along, if we only allow ourselves to go with the flow.


So my Shamanic training came as a bit of a surprise to me. It took me out of my comfort zone and in the process expanded it, it also helped me heal and reassemble the disconnected parts of myself that had come adrift during my life's events and experiences. I am continually broadening my inner and outer world views and opening my eyes and my mind even wider......


I hope that this blog will become a companion as I set off on yet another quest, this time a journey even further into the Realm of  the Spirit World, I shall also include my Shamanic experiences because all of these things are connected on the great web of life.......
