I trained as a teacher, Art being my specialist subject, then taught in Sheffield schools, meantime marrying and bringing up my son and daughter.
In 1984, I took early retirement due to rheumatoid arthritis and in 1987 underwent a bi-lateral hip replacement operation. After taking responsibility for my body in 1990, I wrote a book about my experiences, The Long Search: Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis without the use of Drugs.
Now, in 2010, this book has been completely revised and updated. It includes information on Complementary Therapies, including the use of the SCENAR machine, which was designed in Russia for the use of Astronauts, it is now used in hospitals and ambulances in Russia.
A long history of yoga practice led to an interest in spiritual matters and I qualified as a Healer with the National Federation of Spiritual Healers (NFSH) in 2001.
My other interests include holistic health and nutrition, painting, music and free dance, the environment, nature and the countryside. Ideas for poems and artwork sometimes come during meditation. I am also a member of The Peace Foundation Network (PFN) and The International Church and Healing Fellowship, click here if you would like to visit their site.
