Born in Worcestershire, I was brought up a Catholic, but remember first seeing Spirit at the age of about 7. As a child I always knew that Spirit people were around me, but I was discouraged from mentioning them as everyone thought that I just had a vivid imagination.
By the time I was a teenager I had already been told by several people that I had the gift of clairvoyance. In my late teens and early twenties I started attending local Spiritualist churches, but I didn't feel it was the right time to develop my clairvoyance. Some years later after marrying and having two children I felt the urge to start attending Spiritualist churches again... it was then that various platform mediums told me that I should be standing platform, doing what they were doing. Before long I was invited to sit in circle and became a committee member of my local chruch.
After sitting in circle for several years and attending various courses and workshops with the Spiritualists' National Union (SNU), my mediumship skills became stronger and I developed to stand platform and do private readings.
