My story 

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS / M.E in 2009 and can add Raynaud's (white finger syndrome), depression and anxiety, including social anxiety, to the list of ‘diseases’. They said there was no cure for Fibromyalgia or Raynaud’s. I’m happy to report that I have continued to be free of either of these for over 13 years.

I did The Lightning Process® training course in 2009 and was shown how to change my thought patterns, which in turn changed my behaviours and allowed me to become the fit and healthy person I am today, able to run a marathon, weight train and love the life I have now. Fibromyalgia, M.E and Raynaud's are now conditions of the past.

I was so inspired and motivated by what I learned during the training that I set a goal to become a practitioner myself and be able to show others how to make the changes they desire.

Health and vitality have become a way of life. I am an avid runne,r completing a Marathon in 2025 in 4.5 hours. I’ve run several half marathons and other races.

I also wild swim, in all weathers. It balances my soul and is my therapy in nature.

I’ve learnt that you cannot have health unless you nourish your mind, body and gut.

Now in 2026, I’ve continued my journey to optimal health and happiness and continue to expand my knowledge into nutrition, naturopathy and Integral Eye Movement Therapy.

Finding harmony and health in all areas, including the three ‘brains’, frees you from the chains of many chronic conditions that the Western world has seen exponentially explode. Anxiety, depression, chronic pain and fatigue, menopause symptoms to name but a few, so that you can wake up every day with energy, motivation, self-confidence and assuredness.

About Me

I am a Mum of 4 children and have three grandchildren. I love feeling healthy and happy in mind and body, and this achievement has taken a lifetime and a journey with many misdirected paths. I was born in West London and lived there until I was 31, when life took a very drastic turn. I relocated to Wiltshire, and this is where my home and my heart are. I’m immensely proud of my family and all that they have achieved; without them, my journey would have been a very dark place at times.

I’ve been with my partner for over 20 year,s and together we have been on a turbulent yet rewarding journey. He has been my rock and my best friend and he supports me in every way.
