About me

Finding the stillness within has transformed every aspect of my life – it is my sanctuary, my place of peace and centredness that I can aways rely on.

More than four decades of spiritual discovery and training have led me to this simple realisation; that stillness is the gateway to my Soul. Here I can access its gentle and reassuring presence, reminding me that all is well.

Stillness is everywhere, even within me. Like the sea, there may be stormy waves on the surface, but underneath there is an ocean of infinite calm.

I love knowing this. And I love creating opportunities for others to experience it for themselves.

We can all rest deeply in stillness, it is our true nature; a place where compassion, kindness, understanding, inspiration, harmony and so much more can flow around and through us more easily.

It’s been a journey of discovery and challenges to fully experience this for myself, and the learning will continue for the rest of my life. There is no landing, simply an ever-deepening invitation to use every situation that comes my way as an opportunity to experience more stillness and peace.

The power of stillness and self-awareness groups

Resting in stillness with others, whether online or in person, deepens our individual experience of stillness exponentially. This creates a very nourishing and bonding energy for us all to enjoy and benefit from.

My appreciation for groups who focus on a shared intention of support and upliftment began in the 1980s when I worked for a Local Authority, responsible for managing a Local Authority Homeless Person’s Department, as well as Sheltered Housing Schemes for the elderly.

It was a tough and emotionally demanding environment for everyone, and the daily staff meeting that I held became a sanctuary. The close bond as a team that this built, as well as our productivity and efficiency, later led me into staff and management training with the National Federation of Housing Associations, specialising in communication, team building and assertiveness training for women.

Throughout this time, I also learned meditation and took courses in spirituality. I longed for a peaceful mind, and was searching for a way to calm my incessant thinking.

After starting a family, I retrained and qualified in a number of complimentary therapies and different healing modalities, and I discovered a whole new and wonderful way of approaching life. I hadn’t found a calm mind though, that eluded me until 1999 when I discovered the work of Brandon Bays and The Journey. Through Brandon’s teaching, I learned that emotions were not only gateways to the inner peace I had longed for, but also to an immense stillness. My love affair with stillness and silence had begun.

As well as lecturing in natural therapies and running spiritual groups, I continued to grow and develop my private therapy practice, both in Surrey and in London’s Harley Street. I later ran training courses for group leaders, and offered spiritual mentoring programmes for women, one-day and residential silent retreats.

At the end of each day, I remind myself that I was born from stillness, and like a golden thread it weaves through my life until, one day I will return to the eternal stillness. For this knowing, I shall always be profoundly grateful.

I would love to welcome you to join me on a stillness event so you too can experience its transformational impact for yourself.

I look forward to meeting you in the ethers or in person if and when you feel the call to join me.

Best wishes
