Educated in Norwich, I went on to the University of London. On completion of my degree I returned to Norfolk in search of work. Unfortunately, after only 4 months in my first post I developed ME / CFS. Confined to bed for most of the following 18 years, I had very little energy to do anything physical, but lots of time to think.
When I discovered the way out of my 'prison' of ME through the Lightning Process (See 'My Story') I felt that I wanted to be able to offer the same chance of recovery to others. My training in London with Phil Parker - the designer of the Lightning Process - involved a year long Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP and Life Coaching. On passing the exam for the Diploma I went on to train as a Lightning Process Practitioner, qualifying in 2007.
The following year I chose to undertake further study with Phil, gaining the Advanced Hypnotherapy qualification.
Now I am an Advanced Lightning Process Practitioner. Many people have already come to me to learn how to use the Lightning Process to make positive changes in their lives, not just from Norfolk, but from across the country and abroad. (See 'Testimonials')
As a committed professional I am constantly updating my knowledge and skills, including attending a CPD course for the Lightning Process annually.
Recently I have undertaken further study, specialising in teaching women to use hypnosis in pregnancy and childbirth.
