Background and qualifications
I jumped out of my first aeroplane at 16 and continued leaping out of them until I became a pilot at 21. After that I preferred to stay at the front-end because I could do more in the air with an aeroplane than just fall through it.
At 22 I joined the Royal Air Force and ended up as an RAF pilot. After eleven years of military service I became a mother, twice, and then joined the Met. Office for a few years as a forecaster and weather presenter for the BBC.
When my second child was old enough for me to leave him and his elder sister for 3 days I attended a retreat that propelled me into learning as much as I could about the non-physical aspects of myself; the domains of energy, emotion, thought, insight, timelessness and so on. I learned and experienced the differences between pain and suffering, identification and observation, story and truth.
My journey through what I loosely refer to as the right-brain ('being') has now been going on for about as long as my journey through what I loosely term the left-brain ('doing'). I therefore feel quite qualified to talk with some authority about both, and about what makes success in any endeavour both possible and joyful.
Success (doing) without joy (being) is agony. Failure (doing) without joy (being) isn't much better. I prefer success with joy and believe it is possible for everyone and anyone who wants it sincerely enough.
I began my search for joy in 1998, having arrived at an all-time low in my state of being. Despite all of my apparent successes in life, even with two beautiful children, I was very sad. I was also very closed. I had a vested interest in appearing to be perfectly okay, or better, within my work and social circles, so my sadness, grief and loneliness remained deeply locked within. It took a journey of fifteen years, seeking, and steadily encountering safe environments in which to find and land the truth of me until I could own it fully. My journey took me through more highs and lows than I can count (including another beautiful daughter) before I found the lasting peace that I now know daily. In the meantime, and as part of my path and amongst other things, I became a master of Enlightenment Intensives, a facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, a clear and conscious channel, and a Heart Intelligence coach.

Clarity
Perhaps the most valuable aspect of my journey has been the clarity it has helped me to bring into what I do. I need all of the techniques I extol. We teach best that which we most need. I need clarity; I need to understand what I'm doing. I have faith for a good reason; I understand it experientially. I may not be able to explain fully what goes on in the right-brain because it defies the limitations of the left-brain's ability to label things, but because I know how it works, I may be of value to others who want to access it. I don't believe in the esoteric. I believe everyone and anyone who wants to, can understand and achieve whatever they want to. Life is a spiritual journey and also a very physical one. It is a mountain-climbing experience. Whether or not we remember or recognise or like it, we have brought ourselves here to explore the foothills, the scree slopes, the lofty meadows, the crevasses and the temporary pinnacles of our physical and non-physical realities, through all weathers and in all sizes and shapes; time and again; for the sake of experience. It's both a solo and a joint experience, and truly a jolly joyous one.
The reason I'm doing what I do now is that I'm all about helping as many people as want to, feel the joy of being whilst we're here this time, in our doing states, rather than waiting until we've shuffled off again into pure being.
