Welcome to my website. We are living in curious and challenging times. In the last century CGJung wrote about man’s isolation in the face of scientific evolution and his work was about helping people reconnect with soul. Modern living has given rise to a deep and pervasive soul hunger. For though modern life offers us practically everything we desire materially, it doesn’t fulfil our deepest desires, those of the human heart.
I began this work some 25 years ago when I was still having babies and bombarded therefore with the trappings of medical birthing technology. My books bear witness not only to the importance of childbirth as a formative soul experience but also to the profoundly negative effects of such technology when it is imposed on the natural process. Though such technology can be lifesaving and at times necessary, it needs to be combined with respect for the human soul. Aware of the pain and suffering encountered by many due to a medicalised way of birth that strips nature of its spiritual dimension, my aim then was to highlight the psychological and spiritual aspects of childbirth and parenting.
My more recent work involves the weaving together of insights gained from Jungian depth psychology, spirituality and healing. Though still concerned with pre-and perinatal work, my focus has broadened and moved to the inner workings of intimate relationships and our search for wholeness. There are many pathways to the Soul, the most basic of which is to recover a sense of wholeness through finding a balance between the masculine and feminine energies within. In Jungian psychological terms this is called the ‘Inner Marriage’. This is the subject on my forthcoming book.
As we continue to learn about the exquisite sensitivity of the unborn baby and of the formative impact of early experiences on our lives, we need to establish a system that combines technology with heart and we also need to create a model of healthy intimacy that is empowered yet still vulnerable.
