Marriage and motherhood being my main aim from very early on, I consequently married at 19, had my first baby at 20 and my fifth and final, when I was 30.
I home educated them all, much of the time as a single parent after my marriage ended.
They have been my greatest teachers and I'm beyond grateful to have them, ditto my lovely granddaughters and grandson (who have arrived sporadically over the last 19 years).
I've been passionate about health and nutrition since the early 1990's, when I also discovered rebounders and acquired my first one which I found attracted both babies and cats as a sleeping platform. I bounced them off.
When I was 36 I bought the single best book of my life in terms of its impact on my health, "Radical Rejuvenation" by Roxy Dillon. It was full of amazing facts about supplements and herbs, which I proceeded to use - as much as money allowed at any given time.
The main thrust of the book is about eating a raw food diet yet this took me another 12 years to fully embrace. Thankfully, it was at exactly the right time to haul me through the menopause relatively unscathed.
Consequently, as a nutritional therapist (since 2004) and a freelance nutritional health writer, I've spent many years absorbed in the world of health, fitness and healing.
I am still passionate about all of this, but wanted to expand and change up what I was doing, so I became certified as a Reiki Master and dipped my toes into Animal Communication.
Then along came The Emotion Code - via my youngest daughter who had discovered it whilst in some far flung land and subsequently became a practitioner herself.
For me it hit the spot immediately. It made such sense.
We all carry emotional trauma. We all need relief from this to live our healthiest best lives. Instead, we trundle it around with us, haphazardly adding more and more as we move through relationships, jobs, family life and so on.
I have experienced and therefore understand how debilitating chronic pain, both physical and emotional can be. I understand stress and difficult relationships. I understand parenting and concern about children's futures. I understand money worries. I understand not feeling good enough. I understand ageing (dammit). I understand trying to figure out where we are right now in this existence and trying to make it work for us.
My wish is to facilitate the healing process for anyone in need, to the best of my abilities, which I am continually honing and levelling up.
Life is exciting and amazing, and the changing world is one to be embraced rather than feared, as we all magically bumble along, co creating our reality(ies)
