Working as an analyst/programmer in the computer industry for many years, I was very much involved in the logical, rational world. Experienced in problem solving and delving deeply into complex subjects, I was also interested in applying this analytical approach to my fellow man and their behaviour. This prompted me to pursue the study of astrology; an equally scientific field yet one that incorporates the use of the intuitive mind. From this developed an expanding and deepening understanding of life and the spiritual laws of the universe whilst also enhancing my awareness of how one's thoughts and emotions can affect physical well-being. I increasingly developed a desire to want to be involved in a more humanitarian way of life that involved helping others and after securing a diploma with The White Eagle School of Astrology, I became a professional astrologer in 1999. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Astrologers International.
Although
aware of the benefits of using astrology with clients, I often felt
that for some clients there was an additional factor required. Some
would be looking for further support to help them get through a
difficult time, the motivation to make a change or to embrace an
opportunity that astrology had highlighted and confirmed for them
on a deep inner level. I had already been using flower essences
myself and with my children during their development into adults
and began to further explore the vast field of flower essences,
realising the benefits they could offer not only to certain astrology
clients, but to others in helping heal and support them emotionally
during major life changes, traumas and challenges. Impressed with
my own experiences with flower essences I embarked upon the 2-year
course in vibrational medicine with Clare Harvey at the International
Federation for Vibrational Medicine. From this I gained a more wide-ranging
knowledge and the ability to help others with flower essences. 'I am treasurer of the British Flower and Vibrational Essences Association and
have also created my own range of essences –

I am the mother of three grown up children and I live in Hampshire, in the South of England, with my husband. I enjoy nature, gardening, writing, and anything to do with flower essences and astrology.
