So tell me about
how you got started in your work?
I started my work when I was 12... My mother was
very ill with cancer and fought a 13-year battle...During the night, she would cry from the pain
that the cancer had given her. I would push my bed up to hers at night and
lay hands on her Sacral Chakra, and stroke her head until she fell asleep.
In the morning she would wake up with a bright, brave smile and say “Thank
you for helping me last night”.
