My latest book, like all of my books, is based on my personal experience and knowledge. I've been interested in various holistic therapies, spiritual practices, and mindset/personal development trainings, and tried tons of stuff, but I only share what I've found to be effective. If it doesn't work for me, I don't write about it!

I fell into writing by chance, as I worked with someone who, despite severe disabilities, had lived an amazing life, and I suggested she write a book about her experiences. Amazingly, the manuscript was snapped up by the first agent I approached and was optioned for a television dramatization.
Because of that, people approached me to help them write books and the writing snowballed from there. But writing was simply a hobby that I fitted around my working day. It's only within the last few years that I've begun writing for myself.

The follow-up book to Medium Rare - The True Life Story of Spiritualist Medium Ronnie Buckingham, and that should be out in 2023.
I'm also working on a book about dating site addicts.

Simply begin writing! Don't try to write and edit your work at the same time, as that can interrupt the creative flow. Get a writing coach or take a look at Joanna Penn's books on writing - they're solid gold!

Being able to explore different ideas and share my knowledge of the various modalities I'm trained in.
Originally, I trained as a beauty therapist, and moved on to holistic therapies, such as Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, Reiki, Crystal Healing and Flower Remedies.
Next, I trained in Hypnosis, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), TFT (Thought Field Therapy), Kinetic Shift, Reflective Repatterning, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Life Coaching.
I've been a Tarot Reader for over 45 years and run an online course, Be Psychic Free, to help those who are overly dependent on psychics and tarot readers.
Also, I'm interested in Astrology, Dreams, Switchwords and New Age Thought.
I'm currently undergoing a four-year training as a Counsellor, having previously studied psychology and social science.
It's great to be able to look at various life situations from a more spiritual and holistic perspective and draw on what I know to help others - that's my passion and purpose in life!

I use EFT Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping (which I teach) to clear away writer's block and get my creative vibe going. Various crystals and essential oils can also blast through any stuck energy.
