A Personal history
Alison, although born and educated in Liverpool, has been a resident in Neston for 45 years, and may well be a familiar figure in the village to some. Having pursued an esoteric, spiritual and holistic interest for some 25 years, she endorsed this by training as a Reiki and Spiritual healer and Metamorphic practitioner. Also she pursued an academic and professional career in nursing and as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. Her regular interest is in shamanic and soul development, and she attends lectures to understand esoteric astrology.
Career development
It was whilst she was working in a nursing role at the Countess of Chester Hospital that her interest in complementary therapies became recognised. Already trained in healing, but wanting further development, she was awarded a grant by the hospital to train as a hypnotherapist and psychotherapist. A Diploma in hypnosis and hypno-psychotherapy was awarded by the National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (Loughborough), and this led to Alison being invited to join the ‘Improving Working Lives’ initiative at the hospital. This service offered staff at the hospital hypnosis, hypno-psychotherapy and healing techniques. Furthermore, patients recovering from cancer also benefitted, as informative lectures in respect of complementary therapy were offered. Alison also works alongside the North Wales Motor Neurone Society, to help patients and their families try and cope with this devastating disease.
That complementary therapies are being accepted alongside orthodox medicine is important, and Alison’s work as both a nurse and therapist at the Countess of Chester was recognised by a Member of Parliament in 2000. This led to her work on complementary therapy services for the hospital being documented in Hansard, which is the House of Lord’s Report.
In respect of healing, Alison was one of the first to hear about Reiki healing in this area (Cheshire), as she was part of an esoteric group hosted by Penny Quest. Penny has taught widely and has published some of the finest Reiki books, and continues to do so. Reiki-Quest.
