Too taboo talk about? Shouldn't have been. From an idyllic early childhood and academic success, the course of the author's life changed in her late twenties following a few hours wait in casualty. What followed were family illnesses, bereavements and disability. While growing up she'd absorbed, as if by osmosis, the influence of her parents' interests in naturopathy and Buddhism. That was the seed which sprouted in her thirties, developed into an interest in health and grew into her personal philosophy of practical epigenetics. An optimistic philosophy which arose from a synthesis of her life's experiences, the study of psychology, Ayurveda, Permaculture and Emotional Logic and managing the challenges brought by multiple sclerosis.
