About Me
I’ve always followed my passion and, being a creative person, this has taken me in many different directions: writing, holistic healthcare, and design and making. Although these may sound disparate, the common thread running through them all is my desire to find the essence in what I am doing and balance creativity and intuition with scientific understanding.
I’m motivated to write when something inspires me and there is a need to distil the information and produce it clearly and concisely for others. I’ve written three books. One is still in print after thirty years, and another has been scripted and is available as an audio play, with a stage play currently under discussion.
People say I am the radical voice in the world of Alzheimer’s, challenging conventional wisdom. I’ve been:
- a guest on Women’s Hour
- had feature articles in The Telegraph and Saga Magazine
- presented at international conferences, The Scientific and Medical Network and other events
My personal healing journey led me to a professional career in holistic healthcare and training in: psychotherapy, kinesiology and energy therapies. For forty years I’ve worked in private practice and taught health care professionals, with good communication and conscious awareness underpinning my work. Although I have a French surname, I’m Scottish. I lived and worked in London for many years and have now returned to my roots. Having originally trained as an art teacher I love designing and making things. This gives me great pleasure, and brings balance to my life.
Member of the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN), The British Assoc. for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) 1992 -2024, and honorary member of The Kinesiology Federation (KF), The Kinesiology Association (KA), and The Association for Therapeutic Healers (ATH).
