Should you be worried about the ‘Nocebo Effect’?
We are all familiar with the Placebo Effect, the idea that something will make you feel better if you believe it will. Indeed one of the accusations of sceptics about complementary therapies is that they are 'merely' acting as a placebo. But the placebo effect is...
How could Reiki help you?
I'm about to finish a Reiki 1 course tomorrow and I will start another soon. It never fails to amaze me how much the students appreciate the classes, how much they feel deflated when they realise that 'next week is your last class'. I have no expectations about how...
What Price Friendship?
A couple of weeks ago I went for lunch in Paris. An American friend of mine was on holiday there and whereas in the past I would have thought, 'what a shame she isn't coming to London, I don't know when I'll see her again', this time I thought 'I don't know when I'll...
Seeking Serenity?
Many women these days seem to be in a state of complete overwhelm. Very often they say something like, 'I would really love to do that, but I just can't fit anything else into my schedule'. Somehow we have managed to fill our lives so fully with work, caring for...

Persistence Eventually Pays Off!
My Reiki teachers, Frans and Bronwen Stiene, promote the virtues of Persistence, Patience and Practice in the study of the system of Reiki. But of course it can apply to all areas of life just as well. Some of you may well have been in the room with me last Friday...
Are There Enough Hours in Your Day?
Just recently I have taken on an extra project which seemed like it would be easy to incorporate into my already quite busy schedule. It is something I am very committed to and I know will help a lot of the women I work with. If you haven't already heard, I am now the...
Are You Practicing Mind Control?
One of the main causes of stress in the modern world is that we can't switch off our minds. We spend all day doing tasks that we are not fully engaged with because our minds are elsewhere- on our shopping list, plans for tomorrow or worrying about something that...
How I Got ‘Here’ from ‘There’ Part 2
Last time I spoke about how I ended up leading a jet-setting life in the oil industry, but felt in my heart that there must be more to life! After five years of working with my father in the family business, I had a baby and everything changed again. I had always...
