BIOGRAPHY
Hello to you,
Guiding Light Center was developed purely to help you come into your own luminescence and enjoy a life devoid of illness and other psychological issues.
It has stemmed from my own experiential journey. I founded Guiding Light Center, 30 years ago, because of what I had received from Naturopathy, Yoga and Psychotherapy.
I suffered from various illnesses since the time I was 2 years of age. They included nephritis (damaged kidneys), bronchial asthma, insomnia, obesity, varicose veins and the list went on. I was on medication and had a daily dose of several pills, which I dreaded taking. at 21, I enlisted to complete my studies in Naturopathy, then became a Yoga teacher and a Psychotherapist. I was amazed at the results by making small changes in my diet, exercise regime and thought processes. In a very short time, I was free of nephritis, all the illnesses included the Big C. I wanted to share and celebrate my successes and designed the 21 day Better Living program, which helped thousands to get back to heath. In 2001, I was awarded the V care award for healing and helping hundreds of cancer patients. I went on to create and develop holistic healing courses, which was well received. I came to Australia and continued to work as a Counsellor and therapist for several organisations, until I decided it was time to resurrect Guiding Light again. Today, I have gained more insights and knowledge and have acquired skills and interventions to deal with trauma, loss, parenting, relationships and so much more. I am currently writing my book/s , which will be out soon. Until then, I will be continuing with individual and group counselling and courses. Share my journey and allow me to help you. Let's together celebrate life.
