My writing came about organically, it wasn’t something I had planned as it were.

I have always loved reading and books have been an amazing support for me throughout my life. They have traveled everywhere with me!

As a youngster, my family lived overseas, my grandmother used to send (from the UK) rolled-up comics every week to my sister and I.

At that time we lived in Kuala Lumpur.

It was one of the highlights of the week!

Dennis the menace, Desperate Dan, and Beryl the Peril, still remain best-loved characters!

Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five and Secret Seven

Adventures were enthralling reads for me.

I really enjoy writing and the process of putting a book together.

I hope you enjoy reading them

as much as I enjoyed writing them.

The rest of my story…………….

I was brought up in South Africa, West Africa, East Africa and went to school in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia before going to boarding school in the UK. The nearest I get to describe myself is that I am a British Colonial Girl. They were exciting times. Boarding School marked out a time where my sister and I would only see our parents once a year. It had a part to play in becoming fiercely independent!

Throughout my life I was always dancing and knew that I would become a ballet dancer when I grew up.

During my professional life as a dancer, my career took me to the Stadtheater Kiel, Kassel and Zurich in Germany and Switzerland.

I returned to the UK when my children were born, and I stepped into another career of teaching yoga which I have done for many years.

Whilst I was teaching yoga in London many students would ask me what did I suggest for aching joints, skin issues and other common ailments.

Whilst I think that the yoga can do some great remedial work, I had to keep repeating that I was not a physician but in the end I was tempted to become one.

I chose to embark on the study of Homoeopathy, instead of the orthodox medicine route.

I graduated from the London College of homoeopathy in 1990 where I was trained as a classical homoeopath.

I would like to acknowledge the teachers that I had at that time and beyond.

They are the very best including Dr. Andre Saine, Robert Davison, David Mundy, Anthony Hurley and Jeremy Sherr.

Together with my colleague Joel Jaffey, we built up a clinic in Cambridge. During that time I completed a two year postgraduate course with Jeremy Sherr and took part in two homoeopathic provings (research on homeopathic medicines) neon and germanium.

The Cambridge Homeopathic Society was cofounded by myself, and colleague

Charlotte Jordan.

Its mission was to bring the value of homoeopathy to the public and to create a meeting place for peers. The group talks were very well attended. 400 people attended a talk given by Christopher Day, a homeopathic vet.

I have continued to practice and worked in my practice in Cambridge for 25 years. In which time Kids Clinic was created.

I spent three months in Kathmandu, Nepal as a volunteer in the Schechen Clinic both teaching and practising homoeopathy in the multidisciplinary clinic.  I was asked if I would work at the Kathmandu hospital but I had no time to do so.

My time in Kathmandu was truly unforgettable, and an extraordinary adventure.

I have taught Homeopathy in adult education in Cambridge UK, given tutorials and I continued practise in East Devon UK.

Yoga and Pilates have been an important part of my life and I have continued to practise them alongside my homoeopathic practice.

I now live by the sea.

I am a volunteer tour guide for RLNI at the lifeboat station in Exmouth.

In the words of Wim Hof

I wish you

All the Love, All the Strength and All the Power
