Welcome!
I have been studying natural medicine and the human mind for 25 years. I have my own health story, which contributed to me wanting to take control of my health. Now I help others do the same!
My Story
My mother had an extremely traumatic pregnancy. Her sister died in horrific suffering when my mum was 3 months pregnant. My mum was 22 years old at the time and found it very difficult to deal with the loss.
According to her consultant (clearly a very forward-thinking man as this was 50 years ago!), her mental state was directly linked to the outcome of the pregnancy. My sibling died in the womb, and both myself and my mum almost died as she went into labour. But in the end, we did survive!
As a result of all this, I was quite weak and vulnerable as a child. Always at the doctor’s. Through my early and teenage years I struggled physically but also emotionally as a result of bullying and abuse I had suffered for a number of years.
Then, I turned into one of these people who was always stressed and worried about the silliest of things (that is what early exposure to stress does to your brain). I tried to control everyone and everything around me. I did not enjoy my life at this point but I always knew there was more to life, and I was determined to find the answers and sort out both my physical and emotional health!
All the trauma and stress led to a massively dysregulated autonomic nervous system and my body broke down over time. I suffered with M.E. and fibromyalgia, and I also developed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Fortunately, I have fully recovered from all of these by adopting a very comprehensive approach that combined addressing the body's biochemistry, the psyche and the biofield, and included healing not only my traumas but generational and ancestral trauma work.
I love sharing what I have learnt with others and seeing wonderful transformations people can achieve when they have addressed the true root causes of their health issues. I am grateful every day for where I am now and for the experiences that have led me here. I consider it a privilege to be part of other people’s health journeys.
My Philosophy & How I Work
I believe that we are all unique individuals, and as such each person requires an approach that reflects their biochemical, psychological, emotional, and energetic individuality. We are all shaped by a myriad of factors, including past experiences, as well as dietary, psychological, lifestyle, socio-economic, and psycho-geneological determinants. If we want to optimize our health, we need to balance of all of these factors.
I am purposely not mentioning genetics here because we now know that genetics, as understood by the mainstream science, are a small part of the overall picture. Rather than feel hard done-by because we may be genetically predisposed to a disease, why not focus on all the things we CAN do to remain in control of our health? This includes altering our genetic expression through optimizing all the other factors! That is what I choose to do and I hope you will decide to do the same for yourself.
Any presenting symptoms are our body’s way of telling us that the balance has been disrupted. Good news is that the body has an amazing ability to repair, regenerate and re-balance itself, given the right nutritional, psychological and energetic support, as well as a supportive environment. Even though, it may not always be possible for people to return to full health, there is so much we can do to help ourselves and be at our optimal level of well-being! If you could be 100% better than you are now, would you take it? Even if that may not mean full recovery?
Combining a vast range of mind-transforming modalities, my knowledge of human physiology and biochemistry, years of studying and practicing nutrition and phytotherapy, as well as bioenergetic medicine enables me to provide a truly integrated approach to helping clients optimize their minds and bodies in order to heal.
I believe in addressing root cause of presenting health problems, both at the physiological, psychological and energetic level. In contrast to many other practitioners, I do place a huge emphasis on the psyche, as I do believe very strongly that when the psyche is healed, the body will follow. This does not mean that I underplay the physiological aspects of healing. I simply combine them. The mind and the body should never be treated separately in the first place!
My approach is client-centered and highly personalized. It is very much a partnership. Any necessary changes should be made at a pace that is right for the client, and should be achievable, realistic, and sustainable in the long-term. I hope that we will get to work together to help you optimize your mind, your body and your biofield for healing!
Some random facts about me :)
- I was a national Ballroom & Latin champion in the UK a number of times when I used to take part in the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing competitions (can you believe all the spray tan?!)
- Many years ago I was on stage in Trafalgar Square in front of approx. 10,000 people performing an aerobics cool-down for people who ran the Sport Relief mile
- I once got stuck on a rock face - a carabiner clip got stuck and I could not abseil down! Luckily, my amazing husband came to my rescue and it all ended well!
