About me

I started my working life as a nurse for almost 10 years, training in the NHS but working first in Nepal for a year and then in Berlin, West Germany. Both of these nursing experiences integrated herbalism and naturopathy in their delivery of care and led to my interest in an integrated, holistic approach to healthcare.

I was introduced to Optimum Health Balance (OHB) Kinesiology in 1990, after our return to Scotland, when our son became seriously ill. Charles Benham came up to Scotland twice to train my husband and I in using his kinesiology system. We used the system continuously over three years and had ample opportunity to observe its effectiveness in supporting our son and ourselves.

In 1998 I decided to embark on professional OHB training, initially in High Wycombe and later in Norfolk. My earlier training as a Healer Member of the NFSH and later in Theta Healing made an energetic kinesiology system such as OHB very accessible to me.

I completed OHB professional training in November 2002 and became an OHB Associate Practitioner in 2004. I continued to travel to Norfolk for update training. In 2006 I attended training to enable me to deliver OHB Self Help courses.

In 2008 I completed the City & Guilds certificate course in Delivering Learning, level 3 and later completed training in delivering OHB Mini Balance courses. In 2015 I completed training to enable me to teach modules 1 - 6 of the OHB professional course and in 2016 further training in teaching modules 7 – 10.

I completed Touch For Health Kinesiology (TFH) Foundation training in 2002, TFH 5 in 2003 and TFH Instructor training in 2007 and am registered to teach TFH 1 - 4.

I registered with the Kinesiology Federation as a KF Associate in 2005 and as a KFRP in 2008. I have done training in other Kinesiology disciplines - Professional Kinesiology Practice (PKP) and Kinergetics - but always returned to OHB and its wonderful capacity to identify the primary issue(s) undermining a person's well being at any given time.

I completed my Reflexology training with the Scottish School of Reflexology in 1997 and am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists. I have studied many different Reflexologies but today my interest is particularly in digestive and structural problems. Nerve Reflexology combines well with Kinesiology to address structural problems.

I qualified as a Natural Nutrition Practitioner with The College of Natural Nutrition in 2004, which adds another perspective to my treatments.

After all my years of working I still love practising OHB and am so often fascinated by what a balancing process can uncover and how the rhythm of the balance flow takes over - like an energetic conversation between two bodies where the two people involved are almost incidental to the process! No room for egos😊. It always reinforces my trust in the wisdom of bodies, they are such a good compass for life - when we listen to them...
