“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” - Douglas Adams

This is definitely not where I expected to be.

Twenty years ago, if someone asked me where I saw myself, I would have said working as a veterinary nurse, occasionally writing a few crime novels. Yet, here I am, an award-winning erotic romance and urban fantasy novelist, running my own business offering a range of holistic & spiritual therapies.

I am a generational eclectic witch, something that shows in my holistic therapies. After many years of studying, I am also able to offer a range of holistic services, workshops and learning experiences. I also supply bespoke and handmade crafts & spells that have been inspired by my travels, education, and spiritual journey.

As of 2020, I've had over 700 articles on various subjects published around the world both online and in magazines. I have also had work featured in several anthologies and written several award-winning books.

During the COVID-19 UK lockdown in 2020, I found myself drawn to social media and developed a following on TikTok. Through this, I was encouraged to start teaching others, and I now offer various educational programmes on a range of subjects.

More recently, I was placed as a Runner Up in the Centre of Excellence's Business Awards 2021, and Most Holistic and Spiritual Service Provider in the LuxLife's Perfect Gift Awards 2022.

I have numerous internationally recognised qualifications in various holistic therapies which have been accredited by either: 

The Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education (CACHE) 

The Institute of Leadership and Marketing (iLM) 

Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT)

Complementary Medical Association (CMA)

The International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) 

The International Association of Therapists (IAOTH) 

The Natural Healer Society

The Association of Holistic and Complementary Practitioners (AHCP)

The Guild of Holistic Therapists (GTi)

I also take regular CPD qualifications to maintain my education and keep up-to-date with the changing times.
