INTRODUCTION

Those of us who have developed our lives in the west have a strong tendency to be more aware of our minds than our bodies. We are taught to think and have a mental approach to our lives much more than those in the east who are more in touch with their bodies and their feelings. Stress takes its toll on our physical, mental and emotional bodies giving rise to emotional difficulties or physical disease.

At the age of 40 I found myself riddled with osteoarthritis and in a great deal of pain. The doctors told me that there was little they could do and that I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 60. This was unacceptable to me so I began my journey of self-exploration and development to discover what was causing me to be so ill.

Initially I found myself inspired by reading material written by people who had healed themselves of diseases such as cancer. After receiving treatment from a Shiatsu Practitioner for two years, I chose to train in Chinese Medicine and Shiatsu. Through this I learnt what my body needed in terms of nutrition, movement and energy work in order to heal itself. I began to realise how empowering it is to take responsibility for one's own well-being - something which we are not conditioned to do in the the western world. This led to the realisation that I could change everything by the way I thought, moved and listened to my body and mind. I began to find the real Hilary; a truer sense of my unconditioned self. This is what allowed me to let go of the pain which my body was holding and free myself of the disease. After an amazing 15 year journey of self discovery and healing, I am now free of the disease and equipped to help others reveal their true selves on their own personal journey.
