My Journey:

"With a family background rooted in health conscious living, I grew up knowing the value of health. It was during my early years that I discovered how much I enjoyed learning about natural health. My first interest manifested when a family member had presented me with a book on natural health and using the mind as a tool – From that day onwards, I was fascinated with this subject area.

Over the years, I began to explore natural health and Self development for my own Self exploration. It was a key part of shaping the way I saw life and I am became inspired by it.

In 2001, I had discovered that I was facing some health issues and life changes. In many ways, it was a blessing in disguise. It made me really question my Self – in my actions and in my life choices. A "wake up call". From this, a chain reaction was started. I wanted to start to live my life in purpose. I made a choice to start working towards what I really loved – Natural health, Creativity and Self development.

They say that when one sense weakens, other senses become stronger - which is a strong factor to why I believe I started to explore energy healing and all forms of creativity. I was growing more in tune, even when these challenges were present.

Since then, I have gained knowledge through further Self love and various professional courses – which includes Chios Energy Field Healing, Bates Method, Meditation, Relaxation Therapy – and I continue to expand my work.

Using creativity to enhance my work is something that I really enjoy and it is the perfect challenge. I strongly feel that creativity works to bring positive changes to our Self and others. Creativity is a tool to exploring our own journey. This is something that I like to in cooperate in my work and life - colours, sounds, people etc.

Apart from natural health, my passion is writing. It has been a valuable tool over the years and continues to connect me with Self and others. It was only much later on (by accident) that I had been writing for magazines. My first article was published 5 years ago by a magazine in America. At this time, I had been using writing as a hobby, a way of releasing my thoughts. This gradually evolved and changed with the flow. I was given new challenges to work with wider audiences in different countries. My focus for my writing had also gradually changed as I learned more about my Self and grew with the holistic lifestyle. All my inspiration now stems from natural living – this includes positive living, creativity, vegetarian lifestyle, culture, Africa, nature, natural food, travel and Self growth.

Writing will always be a big part of my life and as I continue to improve and expand my Self, I hope this will reflect in my work and its direction. My latest articles can be found in magazines for London's urban youth and my new magazine columns in America and South Africa.

It gives me so much joy to be able to work with others on their journey to a positive and healthier lifestyle!

As always, there is more to do – there are more goals that I hope to achieve. The learning process never ends.

I look forward to what the future holds."

Love & Light,
