life of its own…
I aim to inspire, provoke and build community, ultimately touching the heart with the projects and activities I get involved with igniting transformation for the greater good and wellbeing.
Wise & Beautiful Lulu
Lulu, serendipitously came into my life, and became another of my therapy dogs, bringing her wisdom, guidance and beautiful soul to my life, client sessions, and who touched many lives. When I first saw Lulu, words with her picture said ‘All dogs want is to love us and us to love them right back’. Thank you for all your love. July 2021.
On a Mission…
Together with fellow NLP’ers; David Maddams, Tasha Thor-Straten and Jane Iskander, we co-founded the NLP for Health project, supported by ANLP, to give GP Practices in the UK access to NLP Professionals.

Welcome Little Bear
A new furry member of my family, team, and practice; clever and oh so cute friend.

Beloved Juice
My first therapy (PAT) dog who really opened me up to the wisdom and insights that animals have to offer us, how their presence can touch us deeply, what we can learn from them…and how spiritual and sensitive they are.
