As a child I was frightened of the dark because people I could not see always seemed to be touching me when I was trying to get to sleep at night, so I would huddle myself right under the bedclothes.

At the age of 15 I was fortunate enough to have a vivid dream which showed me clearly which theorems were going to be in my Geometry GCE ‘O’level exam the following day – I was amazed (and relieved) when I turned over the exam paper!

At the age of 24, I worked in the records department of a children’s hospital and developed the ability to dream about the whereabouts of missing patients records – very useful!

At around the same age, I also had experiences which were not so comfortable – there were 2 times in different flats where I was living when there was a loud and intense hammering on the door of the room I was in – but there was no-one there. I was terrified!

I finally got involved with metaphysics when I was 39 years old and had a rapid education with regard to mediumship, healing, other dimensions, channelling etc. I started developing my own mediumistic gifts and became a medium and healer, receiving strong guidance directly from the spirit world. Later this ability seemed to blend more with my own personality and I continued to be guided but in a more subtle way.

During this time I founded The Healing Light, a spiritual and holistic centre. Part of it continues today - www.thehealinglight.net.

I also went on to become a teacher in these fields, helping others to develop their inner potential.
