Personal Growth:
For many years I was bullied and discriminated at a major UK airline where in the IT
department ageism ruled and a 'blame culture' emanated from the top right down to the
grass roots. In the 24 years I was there I was victimised by managers, team leaders,
peers, and even an occupational health nurse. In about 2003 12 football-supporting peers
hacked my personal web site and uploaded disgusting comments to my 'guest book;' they also
set up an unauthorised bulletin board on the company network using that to upload
disgusting comments and photos about other members of staff and myself. But they got
caught. During the 6-month long investigation the stress was so great that I acquired
alopecia universalis. However I was granted no compensation by the company. Now having
taken early retirement I am on a path of healing, learning to help and to heal others in
order to help to heal myself. My path has taken many twists and turns - but on coming to a
cross-roads I have usually chosen to take 'the road less travelled.' Below are some of the
paths I have taken, and indeed am still taking, and some of the wonderful people who have
helped me:
Reiki @ the Wren Clinic:
Relaxation Massage:
Contemporary Shamanism:
Human Relations (Levels 1-4):
Meditation @ the Wren Clinic:
Life Coaching
