An internationally recognised change-maker 

 

The ideas, methods and techniques that I share often free people from being stuck, labelled, addicted, phobic, sad or in pain, or give them the edge to excel or be happy. These range from the most modern scientific methods for permanent change to tools and techniques that I have learned from masters over four decades. I describe some of these and provide links to more information on my website. 

 

Walking the talk is important to me. I grew up in Scotland and became interested in self-development in my early teens. I continue to use these ideas and tools every day and I used them to become an author, inventor, artist, collaborative artist, business woman, coach and consultant. Always aiming for the best possible outcome, my books are published by Thames & Hudson, are now considered to be standard works; my eighteen inventions are made by the prestigious Swiss company Lascaux and are sold worldwide; my own art works have been awarded 'Sovereign Award for the best painters in Europe' (judge Sir Peter Blake) and have been collected by the Queen; artworks made by me in collaboration with high-profile artists have been collected by Tate, the Government Art Collection and The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. 

 

I have also used these concepts, methods and tools to recover from the knocks and bumps of life and to enjoy my time fully and richly. I love all the senses, and like to cook, create gardens, be with family and friends, travel, and learn. I also help people communicate more effectively with horses and other animals. Training in classical and natural horsemanship informs my coaching and I have a strong interest in positive reinforcement.

 

The new psychosensory processes which I have developed provide transformational outcomes for individuals, couples, families, and groups.
