My life has been a roller coaster of traumatic experiences in my childhood. I grew up feeling separated and isolated and experienced mental illness around me. I was sent away to boarding school at age nine and found it difficult to interact with both teachers and children. I endured a lot of bullying and teasing during my school days.
I started off my career in 1980 as a Laboratory Scientist having graduated with a Chemistry degree in 1977, and worked in numerous jobs as a research chemist and then as a chemical analyst.
In my adult life I have experienced long periods of depression and anxiety. In 2004 I had what some people experience as a mid -life crisis about what was important in my life. I was very disillusioned with working in laboratories and industry in general. In my heart I knew that something needed to change in how I earned my living and after losing my job and enduring a period of unemployment I opted to do care work for an agency. I knew I wanted to work with people in some way but this was certainly an immersion in the deep end.
Around this time I started studying the Course in Miracles and that started my spiritual journey in earnest. It was through these teachings I came across the Clearing Process which helped me to start the process of letting go of my past programming. This process was a real breakthrough for me in starting to address the issues I had. I trained as a coach with Sandy Levey-Lunden who devised the Clearing Process.
Some years later I was at a friend’s house near London when I came across a copy of a Way of Mastery. This was another amazing spiritual text. I was really energised by what I read. This pathway has really assisted in my spiritual growth. I continue to be part of the ‘Way of the Heart’ Community today enjoying their support and love. Being part of this community has really accelerated my growth.
Theta healing came up with a chance conversation about various healing modalities. In July 2013 I attended both the basic and advanced Theta Healing courses and was amazed at what this healing modality could be used for and the powerful intuitive way practitioners operated. I loved the whole concept that we all can co-create with source energy to achieve what we desire. I have trained so far as an Advanced Practitioner with more courses to come. This is an amazing modality and is really assisting me in clearing myself to become a more effective healer.
I then discovered ’Reflective Re-patterning’ an energy Psychology method to achieve balance between conflicting values, beliefs, thoughts and emotions. The practice involved using the Tapas Acupressure Technique Hold as part of the process. I undertook further training in the Tapas Acupressure Technique in Nov 2014 to enhance my use of the powerful healing process that could be achieved using this technique.
Havening came about because it was mentioned in courses I had done and so I embarked on Training in August 2014 and I hope to gain practitioner status in Jan/Feb 2015. This is such a simple but effective way to remove traumas using just stroking down arms, palms and face to alter the brain chemical response to traumas.
After much therapy and opening up to a Spiritual life I came to realise that I was the source of all that had happened to me. I saw that I had attracted these experiences to me to learn lessons that I needed to. I became aware that my own suffering was a learning curve enabling me to empathise and understand how to help others overcome their issues. Going through issues yourself gives you a real knowledge of how issues can manifest themselves in people’s lives. I have also be able to achieve a deeper healing within myself because learning and practising new therapies on myself is part of process of becoming confident in their application. The modalities I have learnt are all very powerful techniques and give me a range of options to use with my clients. My natural intuitive ability will assist me in being able to determine which therapy to choose with each client. With all the techniques amazing results can be achieved but each one requires at its core a relationship based on understanding of issues and ensuring clients feel safe. My desire is use the knowledge gained in my life to assist others to heal themselves.
