About the author

My first career was in orthodox medicine. I worked in the hospital specialties of cancer care and general psychiatry, and spent some time in rural general practice. From 1991-2000 I held the post of Consultant in Psychological Medicine at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford, England. I published a number of medical books and research papers. Then I moved to Auckland with my New Zealand-born husband, and trained as a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner and Life Coach. Writing is now my main pursuit and I have published several short novels, and books on holistic healing and natural therapies. I also edited my uncle's memoir 'Geoffrey Guy's War: Memoirs of a Spitfire Pilot' and my husband's autobiography 'A Psychiatrist's Journey'. Other interests are choral singing and animal welfare.
