Gender	Female
Occupation	Teacher and Clinical Hypnotherapist
Location	Northampton, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Introduction	I am a retired Army Officer - yes it was tough, yes it was exciting at times, yes it ate up my entire life and identity and swallowed me. Now the great green machine has spat me out and I am being me again. I am a wife and mother and I have a tall husband (the best man in the world) a small son and a yellow labrador. I am at a fortunate stage in my life, I live in the beautiful countryside with people I love and I have enough of everything. I worked for myself for a while as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and what a great job! Although I loved it, I missed the buzz of lots of people around me so I became a teacher in a boys' secondary school, which I also love. Although I don't do much hypnotherapy these days, I still I help people to enjoy their lives! And what about me? Oh, very standard - blah blah blah - but I can ski like a demon!
