About Me

Having travelled the world, living in Australia for three years I am living now back living in Somerset whilst bringing up children (twins 12), not because of the weather, but because I feel at home with the land here and there are alot of 'kindred spirits in the area'. Love the mix here access to nature, great music and camps.We live in my home with views straight over the levels to Glastonbury Tor with two dogs (one of whom I insanely flew over from Australia) and three goldfish. Sitting in by my herb garden with a cuppa watching the sunset is the best stress buster ever and has cooled my eternally itchy feet (for now!)

I facilitate two support networks in the area Mendip Parents Dyslexia Forum and Harmony Network 'celebrating diversity in Somerset'.

My history as a practitioner is that I initially worked Pharmacy Technician in the NHS. I became disillusioned with the direction that the NHS was going in and left in 1980 to train as an Acupuncturist and start a holistic massage practise.

After completing a three year course in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture I started a practise in Selly Oak, Birmingham and quickly became aware that stress was having a big impact on her patients’ health and the effectiveness of the treatments. I therefore started to run courses in stress management and personal development for clients.

Since that time I have worked in the corporate sector in Australia and New Zealand.Started a Stress Management business in Bristol in 1989, appearing on HTV West’s Moneyweek programme.

I have worked widely within the personal development movement both in presenting workshops myself and with others i.e.touring nationally with the late Peter Caddy a co-founder of the Findhorn Foundation, the initiator of the personal development movement in the United Kingdom.
I also has studied with the late Professor Chee Soo in Taoist arts and massage. Conflict Resolution with the late Dannan Parry, Earth Stewards Network, with indigenous healers in New Zealand.

I have developed Bodytreats to enable visitors to easily access the high quality of Complementary Therapy available in the South West. SMART Stress Management And Relaxation Therapy is available for Stress Management for the corporate or private sectors in conjunction with Bodytreats when Complementary Medicine is required.

Quotes I Love: The Invitation
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning "be careful", "be realistic", or
"remember the limitations of being human".

It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty every day, even when it is not pretty, and if you can source your life from the Creator's presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon,"Yes"!

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair,weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the
children.

It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
