About Me

My Background

I developed an interest in complementary therapies having searched for ways to alleviate my health problems over the years. I once had a career as a police officer in the Suffolk Constabulary, but as a result of shift patterns, poor eating habits, and a bad work life balance, I started to become unwell. I did not realise what was happening to me, I was experiencing what I now know to be symptoms of worsening health and ignored what my body was trying to tell me and in 1999 developed M E / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I followed the conventional path with too many to mention visits to doctors and specialists, and being prescribed various medications, of which none seemed to help. I was eventually told that this was something that I would have to live with as there was no known cure.

I refused to accept that it was to be my way of life and was told by a friend that there may be another way to regain my health. I looked at complementary therapies and this decision was to change my life.

My journey of healing had begun and during the process I decided to study various therapies to see if I could help others as well as myself. In May 2008 I reached the end of my journey and now enjoy good health. Throughout this period I have been assisting others and empowering them to help themselves with numerous health conditions.

When I realised my career in the police had finished I did not know what else I could do, my only criteria was to help people. In choosing the path of complementary therapies I know I am doing just that.
