When I eventually re-trained and set up a healing clinic in the mid-eighties I was full of fear. Alternative medicine wasn’t exactly popular in Manchester, and nutrition was at the bottom of the list. I was fearful of failure, of not being able to help people, or being thought of as foolish. But more than that, I was frightened of putting myself, and my growth, first.

Self-growth, however, is like giving birth—you can’t stop it once it’s started, and so I kept moving forward and taking the next step. I was facing the fear and doing it anyway.

I also learnt to trust in God and the universe. For God is like a kind, caring father, who’s going to push a little so that we grow, but he will never put us in situations where we really can’t cope. And so my clinic was a success. The more I trusted God and handed over control, the more he helped. I was frequently guided to treatments or found myself uttering statements that I didn’t know I knew.
