I graduated in 1972 with 2.1 Hons BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Wales, and spent 14 years doing research on plant virus diseases and immunology, submitting my PhD in 1977.
I studied with the Open University and obtained a Diploma in Music in 2001 and a 2.1 Hons BA in 2002
I retired in 2004 and became interested in Complementary Medicine.

 I completed the Diploma “The Identification and Treatment of Allergic Disorders” with the British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy in 2006 and I am now their Course Co-ordinator as well as running my own practice.
I  qualified in Health Kinesiology in 2007, am a Usui and Karuna Reiki Master Practitioner, have completed levels 1 to 3 of Reconnective Healing and am able to perform The Reconnection. I have been trained in SCENAR Therapy.

I have also studied Touch for Health and hold  Certificates in Basic Counselling, Nutritional Therapy and  Quantum Touch 1 and 2.  I am a member of the British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy, the British Complementary Medicine Association and the Reiki Federation. I live in beautiful countryside in Mid Wales with my husband. I work from home and have a beautiful light and airy practice room, which people say they feel very relaxed in. I like to think that I am able to combine these therapies for the benefit of the patient, because everyone needs something different, there is no such thing as “one size fits all” in Complementary Medicine.

I give Reiki to the cancer patients on Meurig Ward of Bronglais Hospital to try to improve their quality of life. Most patients report feeling very relaxed as a result.

Because of my scientific training, it is in my nature to question everything, but I have to admit, that in learning these therapies, I have been amazed by things which I just cannot explain. Come along and be amazed too!
