Personal Development Workshops

If someone had said to me, years ago, that one day I'd be deeply involved running creative workshops and working in the field of personal development growth, I'd never have believed it. Simply because it sounds so "new age" and I always shied away from the new age thing! It seemed so jam packed with spiritual concepts and ego trips.

The truth is, I have always been deeply engaged with my peronal journey and always looked for alternative ways of improving my health. I spent a major part of my lovely childhood on antibiotics for throat and ear infections. Following this, I became intolerant to conventional medicine.

The sore throats became unbearable… to the point where I became determined to find a way of stopping them altogether.

And I have!

Through my search for alternative methods, I discovered healing techniques which have worked for me. I developed a flexible programme where I use voice, colour, visualisation, rhythm and movement to support my personal journey. I think it was the course I did in the early 90s on intuitive painting which really made me want to share this with others. Because when I did my healing course with Lily Cornford in 1984, I definitely did not want to do that for others - only for family and friends. But 20 years later, life had something else on store for me.

In 2004 I teamed up with an extraordinarily gifted musician, Robert Norton, and the rest is history. Creative Journeys was born, which has now become known as Energising Your Life. It is a personal development seminar with a difference! People might think of it as a creative workshop, which it is too… yet the depth of the transfomation which occurs, takes it onto another level, where real healing takes place. And yet I would hesitate to call it a healing workshop, even though we do teach so many healing tools!

Participants leave the course refreshed and inspired, with heightened awareness of natural ways in which to bring about healing in their personal lives.
