I never saw myself as an author. Why would I? I struggled at school and only got my English GCSE at night school later. My grammar and spelling leave a lot to be desired, yet here I am, published.

The change happened when my Mum died. She’d told me she was writing a book about her life experiences, and that turned on a switch in my brain that started me writing too. Now I write in my journal, at least, every single day. I also started writing about my own life experience – although that manuscript will not see the light of day – and really got the writing bug. I came across a website that had an active blog so I started writing blogs about being an expat bar owner in Spain; I had pages published in two collaborative books, ‘365 Life Shifts’ and ‘Why Did I Move to Spain?’

Then, as my spiritual journey and business grew, I started writing about the places, buildings and spirits that I had the privilege to experience during space clearing, the removal of negative energies and entities from properties. This is the other world I live in!

Living in a different realm was normal for me as a child and I was much happier spending time with my spirit friends than I was with living people. In fact, people terrified me to the point I would hide if the doorbell rang and often shake as I walked across the classroom at school. Back then, I truly believed everyone could see the spirit world that I could and it wasn’t until I was around twenty years-old that I found out this wasn’t the case.

Around that time, I was working as an estate agent in London and I was unknowingly space clearing every property I entered. If I saw, heard or felt a spirit, I would send it to the light. It sounds simple because for me it was. And I was able to sell properties that had been stuck on the market for ages, just by going into them.

A few years later, I met someone who would change everything. My family had moved to a new home and whilst I knew we didn’t have any earthbound spirits, the feeling of the house was uncomfortable. My new friend casually said, “You want to try space clearing.” I had never heard of it before. So I followed her very basic instructions, going from room to room, clapping and waving incense, and as I did so all these images started to appear in my mind of the things that had happened in the house. This was exciting.

Since then I have spaced cleared every property we have ever lived in, as well as clearing for friends who have come across problems. Yet I never imagined it would turn into a business and give me the material for my first published book.

Spirituality became my main focus in 2020, when I found myself unable to work because of lockdown and had time on my hands. I threw myself into studying with Kyle Gray and became a certificated Angel Guide, reading oracle cards. While training, I did hundreds of free readings online to help people navigate the strange world we found ourselves in and pretty soon people were offering to pay me!

This was the answer I was looking for. I needed to earn money, I wanted to keep doing this work and here was the solution. So I created a website and added space clearing to it, thinking it would be a small part of my business because the properties would need to be nearby and the clients would have to be spiritually minded.

I was wrong! I had cleared a holiday home for a friend about ten years earlier and she then contacted me with an interesting question. She had tenants renting her grandparents’ home and they would not give her access for essential maintenance work. She was desperate to keep the house in good order and wondered if I could space clear it from just a basic floor plan and the address.

I had no idea if I could work remotely like that but I was willing to give it a try, trusting my intuition. As I started redrawing the plans, information and pictures started to land in my head telling me about family parties, the tenants’ heartache, even descriptions and the names of my friend’s grandparents.

Okay, now I knew that I could work remotely, but would the results be the same? They most definitely were: within twenty-four hours the tenants had allowed the builders in and the maintenance work was scheduled. I was as delighted as my friend and now knew that my angels and guides didn’t need me to be physically present in a location for them to work through me.

I now work with a number of business people on a regular basis to keep the energy of their properties positive, as well as with a number of estate agents who use my services to help them sell properties faster. They also get the bonus of knowing that the energies of the properties have been enhanced for the new owners to be healthy, happy and abundant.

So this was what I really needed to write about, sharing many exciting and eye-opening stories of space clearing and encouraging readers to make the energies of their own homes more positive. Echoes Within Walls was published by Local Legend in 2025.
