Natural Health is not just about taking Echinacea instead of antibiotics. And being Spiritual is not only a set of beliefs. So just what is behind the massive interest in Alternative Health today? And what does ‘Spiritual’ really mean?

In her first book ‘From Victim to Victory’ the author tells her own story of how discovering the spiritual path can make a real difference to our lives;

  

how changing your mind can lead to finding that life is not just a series of unrelated unhappy accidents, but a Journey we each must make whether consciously or not.

Humans have always been explorers. Since the beginning of time we have reached out to discover the world, the cosmos, and our connection to it.

In spite of what we might believe from events around the world, most people do not want to live in war and strife. The vast majority of us want Peace but do not yet understand that we must first find it within before we can attain it in our communities and countries.

Life is a roller-coaster ride! It appears that we are victims of circumstances, powerless to change our situation, whether it be losing a job or having to stay in it to pay the bills. From Victim to Victory shows that whatever cards life deals, the ability to win the game lies within each of us.

As we discover our own personal power, our anger at injustices can subside and peace can prevail. Peace in ourselves leads to peace in our family and work environments, and ultimately to Peace in the World.
 

Annie's background was in word processing, database management and design, computer systems support and training, and management.

She left the commercial world in June 1991 to train in Anatomy & Physiology, Reflexology and Aromatherapy. Then in 1993 she discovered Heart Awakening, a profound emotional experience, which she studied in America and the UK with Raoult Bertrand of the Heart Awakening Project, Cave Creek, Arizona.

Big changes in her life led to extensive travel with her husband and friend, David; overland to The Gambia, Africa; camping in the Cathar Country, round the world seeking connections with like-minded folk, visiting sacred sites and embracing change.

Return to England was confusing. She felt displaced, a child of the Universe rather than a citizen of England. The world now seemed so small. Still following the 'spiritual' path she had embarked on, Annie lived in Scotland, then Herefordshire, Wiltshire and now Gloucestershire.
