“My career for many years has been in Social Work, and for the last ten years of those I was an Assistant Principal Social Worker, a Trainer and Assessor of social work students. I absolutely loved my job.

I am fortunate that I have spent my life employed in work that has afforded me a great deal of autonomy and pleasure. Along the way, as I journeyed through personal development work, I discovered that I have been blessed with a healing gift. Being a lifelong skeptic, I struggled for some time with the nature of this gift. I needed, as many ‘control freaks’ like myself do, to understand and control my environment. My healing work as it developed literally shook me out of my secure box.

Eventually my attempts to give 100% of myself to meet the increased demands of both ‘careers‘ became increasingly difficult. I could no longer to do justice to both and remain healthy and happy.

The draw towards my healing work overcame the initial fears I had regarding the loss of security that I erroneously believed I needed. Following much soul searching, on the 6th July 2000, I resigned from my career. My healing work and the mystical experiences I have with my clients, to this day remains more important.

I now live in Co. Mayo, Ireland, the birthplace of my Mother and have done so for just over 7 years. It feels like my spiritual home. I work abroad a lot at the minute and the greatest pleasure I experience on my return home to Westport is the sight of the majestic ‘Reek’, our Holy Mountain, as I drive towards the town, welcoming me ‘home’.”
