My Story
Many years ago, after the birth of my first child, something just wasn’t quite right.
It was more than my body that felt unwell – it was my soul.
I may well have been given a label of post-natal depression had I stuck with a mainstream medical path but frustrated with 10 minute appointments to try and explain a feeling I barely understood myself, my quest to feel better led me to Mo Morrish.
From that very first session, something shifted.
The transformation that took place over that first year was rather staggering.
I not only explored the nature of the depression I was experiencing but the foundational years that led up to that moment – and even what generational whispers were still ushering through.
I would say that for most of my childhood, I was relying on a smile and bubbly persona to carry me through.
Inside was a different story.
I was consumed with anxiety and using a lot of precious energy disguising panic attacks and putting on a brave face.
Glandular fever hit me in my early teens which led to eczema, joint pain, sleep problems, headaches and IBS well into my late 20’s.
I was constantly getting ill and could never quite shake off even the mildest common cold.
I was good at wearing a mask… but I was damn exhausted.
“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”
It’s strange how those life events that shake you to your core also bring you to your calling.
I knew very early on in my own healing journey that I would go on to train as a homeopath.
I wanted to help others as I had been helped: by a gentle, powerful and effective system of medicine.
It was a natural step to train with Mo and Ali Morrish.
4 years of study were inspiring, rewarding and at times challenging! The study of homeopathy changes you – it is not a job; it is a way of life.
I graduated in 2017 from The South West College of Homeopathic Medicine and went on to gain further qualifications in Massage, Reiki and Therapeutic NLP The Scottish Centre of NLP over the following 3 years.
The past 5 years have seen me specialise in palliative / end of life care and bereavement.
Focus in this area has allowed me to deepen my knowledge and develop my skills as a practitioner.
Working so closely with medical professionals has contributed to my understanding of the mainstream medical model and given me greater confidence to find my place within it, a place that has value and meaning.
I am delighted that at long last, the importance of integrated healthcare is beginning to take shape in the mainstream.
So much good will come from us all working together.
