My interest in Holistic approaches began in the 1970’s through my studies of Oriental Martial Arts and their effect on Mind, Body and Spirit. This led to an understanding that the inherent good health we have can be maintained through exercise, nutrition and lifestyle. Prevention being better than cure.

Looking for natural ways of gently promoting self healing, I was drawn to Japanese Reiki, Meditation, Herbal Medicine with its link to nutrition; and Tai Chi Chuan to retain the healthy balance once it is regained.

With a lifelong affinity to nature I met with British Waterways in the late 1970’s and together we developed a pilot environmental project for canals that led to the idea being adopted nationally. Recruitment and management brought me into touch with psychometric testing, developing my interest in functional psychology, counselling, stress related illness and more.

Then teaching self-defence for the Clwyd County Council Youth Service as well as various other groups throughout Cheshire and North Wales, I was able to study the effects that this had upon self-confidence finally leading me to discover the value of Clinical Hypnotherapy and its synergy with many of the martial arts teachings.

A Holistic Practitioner, a Reiki Okuden and with a distinction in Clinical Hypnotherapy, I am a Member of the Clinical and Therapeutic Hypnosis Association, British Holistic Medical Association and British Judo Council.

Throughout 2007 I featured on Sky TV’s “Wellbeing“ programme demonstrating Chi Kung and Tai Chi health exercises.
