I am currently a Zumba Instructor living in Wimbledon (you can Google me and come to my classes - please do). If I'm still there, of course. For the last 6 years I've felt called to experience and write about as many escapes, particularly massage, spas and healing as I could. I believe now that this was leading me ultimately to Sedona and to Chandler, Arizona to the Thoachta healing. (Coincidentally my beloved has lived most of his life only a few miles away from there.) I've written many books about my experiences with the hope that they will help people in some way, but I do it because I love to write, love to teach, love to share the miracles I've experienced. It also means a lot to me to help people out of pain, whether it's the torment of deciding whether to donate a kidney, supporting someone to get pain relief, helping people to understand and manage their anger, and now with this book, even before it was finished, just hearing about it has helped people to follow their hearts and do astounding things. It takes the pressure off me to do things myself and just be free to hug trees and hang out in the woods. I may be a shaman depending on what day it is and how you choose to define the word - this is my attempt from my last book; "a shaman is someone who is aware of the importance of spirituality in healing and uses that awareness to help heal mind, body and spirit."
