I was born and raised in County Durham, England, although I now live in Zambia, which has always felt like my spiritual home. I live on my farm, Empilweni (a place of peace and healing), with my extended family – a community of Zambian people. Though many of the people were orphans when they arrived, over the last ten years they have now developed into a loving thriving harmonious community.
“A lover of life and people, and with legendary energy and stamina, Brenda enjoys a vast array of gifts and interests. She loves to laugh and play and yet does very deep and moving work in a way that most people find fascinating if somewhat unbelievable.”
My professional training took me along the path of Physician and Consultant Psychiatrist, however I have been what would usually be called a ‘Healer’ since childhood. I believe that we all have the innate power to heal ourselves – by committing to do our own work, by finding the right teachers and by attuning ourselves to the universal energy.
I prefer to be seen as someone who may be trusted to be a fellow traveller for a while in the lives of those who find themselves in dis-ease – whether with their body, mind or soul; with other people – partners, children, family, friends or colleagues – or in fact the world or life itself, until they find themselves again and stand on their own feet on their own path. My aim is that they empower themselves to become the best that they can be.
“The measure of our greatness is in how we stand up after we fall.” Unknown.
I am honoured to stand by, to guide and to aid healing while people find themselves once more able to stand up and, in doing so, discover their greatness.
