I was a teacher for over 23 years originally a Londoner now living in Herts since 2000. My mother is Irish and my father has Cornish ancestry-hence my love of all things Celtic.
My mother grew up here on the banks of Lake Doolough in County Clare,with 7 brothers and a sister.I spent a few magical Summers in my Grandparents' home which had no running water or bathroom.
Water was drawn from a little Spring by the house and a big turf fire burned all day over which was hung a cauldron of potatoes or cabbage with slivers of bacon.They farmed cattle.One of the neighbours (a few miles down the road) made the most delicious griddle cakes on the turf fire.
I loved being wild and free here roaming by the lake.
I have always been a quiet "backstage" person , don't like drawing attention to myself. I think I follow "The path of the hearth " to some extent.I work quietly and privately enjoying the simple rhythm of life and the seasons.
I enjoy studying Lakota culture.I learned much from Wa na nee Che.Love the humanity and gentleness of their spirituality.I think there is bridge between them and Modern Druids.
For 8 years I was a healer in the clinic at London's College of Psychic studies ,where I originally trained in Spiritual healing
My initiation into healing began soon after my daughter's birth in 1989 when 2 months after her birth I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I'm still upright , but have had to learn how to flow with the energy and when to rest!
Life has been an adventure.I taught in UK , Bulgaria and Sweden. Then taught for the last 12 years in UK, East London Home educated Lucy for nearly 3 years from 1997-2000.
I attended the Mother Earth Lodge of Wa na Nee Che for over 7 years with husband Alex and Lucy. Love them both very much.
Check out Chickenshed Theatre where my daughter has been studying since she was 4years old. It is special in that able bodied youngsters perform and learn alongside those with disability

You Are a Visionary Soul
You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
To all my Friends may you find that stillness within which sustains you and connects you to the light.May my page be a humble sanctuary for you to rest awhile.xxxxx
