It was late 2000 and I was living a long way from my family when I started to become very unwell with a respiratory illness. In January 2001 I collapsed at home and was found by a work colleague who had become increasingly concerned about my unexplained absence from work that day. Once in hospital I suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be artificially resusitated. I then remained on life support for 10 days.
During this time I had what is known as an out of body experience. Before coming back to my body I touched the other side and was (extremely unceremoniously, I hasten to add) pushed away again, being firmly told it was not my time and I had work to do down here. I was given an orb of brilliant white light to carry as I left.
Strange things started happening to me after my hospital stay. I began to get flashes of what was to come - future echoes if you will, sometimes seconds, sometimes weeks before they happened. I started to feel different - as if I was in a different reality or in a different time zone to everyone else. I felt there was a purpose to my life, whereas before I had just been floating. I began to hear footsteps and thuds when there was no one there and seeing lights and flashes when it was dark. At the grand old age of 23 I began to sleep with the lights on.
When I returned to Gloucestershire a year later I started to attend a local spiritualist church with my mum and all these things began to make sense. A well known clairvoyant recognised my raw gift and vulnerability and took me under his wing to bring me on as his protege. To him I remain eternally grateful.
Since then I have learned, developed and evolved my gift and continue to do this so that I may bring comfort and guidance to others through demonstrations and readings.
