Brief curriculum – professional life

She has been a water baby from birth, swimming in rivers, lakes and sea.

Living in Brasil enabled her to develop a passion for water and water balance.

Discovering birthlight, with its roots deep in the aquatic world of the upper reaches of the Amazon, has truly been an inspiration.

Her work as a Neuro developmental therapist, together with the work of Stephen Shaw, have all added to the breadth and depth of her knowledge.
