I’ve come full circle: my first career was in the human health field as a physiotherapist and my present career is in the human health field as a holistic healer. I now see health holistically, that is, as being a combination of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The holistic and spiritual aspects of health are my passions these days.

In between my first and my present careers, I have been growing food, preserving and cooking food, and writing about food, including how it is grown and raised.

My background is varied:

• I am a Level II Soul Realignment Practitioner™ (SRP™), having studied with Andrea Hess of Soul Realignment™. Soul Realignment is a healing modality that
  • helps you know yourself at Soul level,
  • moves you forward more effectively and more quickly,
  • clears the blocks and restrictions that lie between where you are and where you want to be,
  • helps you to integrate the changes into your subconscious, conscious and superconscious, and
  • aligns you with your highest path and purpose.

• I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist™ (RHN™) trained at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, graduated on June 3, 2010. I am passionate about the benefits of living a holistic life, bringing together physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

• I trained in Reiki Level I in May 2009 with Barb Weston of Inner Focus.

• I have transformed a lifelong interest in health foods into an understanding for natural dietary supplementation;

• I successfully completed an alive Academy of Natural Health course in Nutrition: Studies & Applications on April 18, 2008

• on August 21, 2007, I graduated from NOW University’s 7-Syndrome Healing, three courses that are based on the text resource, 7-Syndrome Healing, by Marcia Zimmerman, Clinical Nutritionist, & Jayson Kroner, Clinical Sport Nutritionist;

• for seven and a half years, I worked with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, researching and writing about Pacific fish and fish habitat;

• for five years, I worked with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, researching and writing about food production, inspection, protection, and usage in Canada;

• my Communications degree from Simon Fraser University included psychology and kinesiology courses;

• for many years I lived on the land: in Canada, I lived on a cattle ranch; in Australia, I lived on a sheep and cattle property where I grew all the family’s vegetables, baked all our bread, and spun wool. There, I also gained a Meat Quality Assurance Officer certificate to assist with the export of fresh lamb – my earlier British training in human anatomy made the course much easier;

• for eight years, I researched and wrote Cattle Ranch, the history of Douglas Lake Cattle Company, Canada’s largest cattle company (half a million acres for a wintering herd of 10,000 head of cattle). The book was a Canadian best seller and a finalist in the Eaton’s book award of 1979;

• graduating in physiotherapy from Cardiff Royal Infirmary in Wales, I worked as a physiotherapist in both England and Canada during the 1960s and 1970s.
