Thanks For stopping by

I'm so glad you're here.

Hi, I'm Irene. My original professional background was in nursing but I always had a leaning to alternative therapies. Eventually this interest blossomed into a small practise that I was blessed to work in for thirteen years. At that point life took over and illness led to my having to take a step back. I learned a great deal from this experience especially that Body, Mind and Spirit all need nurturing.

And the illness?

Well that’s little complicated. I have a family history of Alzheimer's disease and found myself experiencing cognitive decline from 2012. I tried to get help but there was none available through mainstream medicine which led me on a journey to try and stave off symptoms myself. I thought I’d succeeded only to discover I was wrong when symptoms worsened in 2018.

Thankfully I found the ReCODE protocol in 2019 and started to make my way back from cognitive decline. I discovered through this I carry one copy of the Apoe4 gene, a recognised risk for Alzheimer’s disease. However, discovering there is help available is a game changer and such information should be in the public domain.

Other people who have benefitted from this approach shared their stories and friends from my alternative therapy practise suggested I should share mine after what I thought was my initial success.

I tried but illness in the family and my own ill health meant that project got shelved for some time. However, I won’t forget how despairing it was feeling there was nowhere to turn and I plucked up the courage to share my story. My book The A Word, Living in Harmony with my Alzheimer Risk is now available from most book retailers and from this website. Click here to access the store. 

Read an excerpt from my book

While I knew there was no successful medication on the market to stop the progression to Alzheimer disease, I guess before experiencing symptoms, it wasn't something I gave much thought to. Facing the reality that not only was it a dead end in mainstream medicine, but that many patients are dismissed either as stressed or being too young, was truly a wake up call. From THe A Word Book dropdown menu you can read about the day that was my darkest moment and from there you can access a link to the Apollo Health website where you can find more information. My interview with Kim from Indie Authors World is also available to watch here.

 

I currently offer the following healing modalities.

Please check the Contact Me page for availability. I'm still attending the hospital and unable to offer some therapies due to this.

Reiki

I had always felt healing energy flow through my hands. But believe it or not I procrastinated for years over whether or not to learn Reiki. Childhood programming and religious doctrine left me feeling I surely couldn't be worthy enough to be involved with healing. I'm glad I eventually got past that mindset.

Bach Flower Therapy

Dr Edward Bach wished for us to be "Captain Of Our Own Ship". Bach Remedies have helped me make great changes and brought much healing into my life. They're a great addition to any self help toolbox.

Shamanic Healing

When I first tried to learn shamanic healing I couldn't find a teacher. Then during a stressful period I attended a workshop with the Isis School of Holistic Health in Glasgow and continued to do the course. Working with the school was a great support. They have created a website for their graduates "Healing Practitioners in the World."

Channelled Healing

I started to receive energy downloads around the time I started to experience the initial cognitive issues. I didn't know what the downloads were but I could feel they supported me in some way. My health prevented any elaboration on the energies I was receiving but I have trained in a number of channelled modalities. The one I now work with is The Thorp Healing Method.
