In 1977, Nancy Friday published a book called My Mother Myself. I read it in the mid 80’s, when I was about 25 years old, and it was mind blowing. I couldn’t believe the information that I was taking in. I think those were the days when I first started to read self help books. […]
I’m currently in Spain, in the Basque country, visiting a friend. I’ve come over to work with a colleague of hers, and it’s really interesting. Twenty years ago, I started my private healing practice in Salobreña Spain, in the old town, on the south coast. I spoke very little Spanish at that time. Now I’m […]
ears ago, I was on a course called The Possibility of Women with Carol McCall. It was a very interesting weekend. For the first half of the workshop I was uncharacteristically nervous, even just standing up having to introduce myself, I felt self conscious and anxious. All weekend, I kept seeing little white angel feathers […]
Could your overwhelm be birth related? How could overwhelm have anything to do with my birth? You might wonder, but our birth experiences are stored in our subconscious memories, not just from the time that we’re in utero, but ancestrally before that. But that’s another story.

Did you know that birth trauma can crop up years later? You might think that everything was just peachy keen when you were born and that there were no problems whatsoever, but unless we really know what was going on for our mothers and our fathers or our situation when we were in utero, we […]
Did you know that your birth experience can have lifelong effects on who you are as a person? It can impact why you tick the way you do, why you perceive things the way that you do, your ability to handle conflicts, your ability to handle stress, it could even affect your coordination or early […]
I’m currently in the Italian Alps with a soul sister friend I met in shaman school over 20 years ago. Each morning under the hot sunshine, we start the incline, our bodies creaking, alerting us to all the niggles surfacing from our tired limbs, the laboured breathing… Each of us thinking, “Why am I doing […]
You know when you’ve got so much to do, you don’t do anything? Lots of women that I speak with are in a place of overwhelm and it’s kind of like fight or flight because there is just so much to do all the time. All of the facets of keeping it together, shining bright, […]
Are you creating drama over nothing? And more importantly, are you realising that you’re doing this? Was there a lot of drama happening when you were in utero or a young baby? Are you merely responding to the drama that your parents need to have around them? I’m sure we’ve all been subjected to other […]
Revitalize Stem Cells! That sounded intriguing to me having always been interested in preventative medicine and doing things in an as natural and non invasive way as possible. The method? A 1 inch diameter plastic waterproof patch encapsulating a matrix made up of salts, sugars and oxygen which when activated by the heat […]
