Author Biography

In a green and blue shed, on the edge of a Shropshire hill, scribbles a short, red haired aromatherapist. But this is no airy-fairy floating-on-a-bottle-of-lavender-oil writer; in fact less Titania, more Gimli son of Gloyn!!! With 21 years of professional aromatherapy and 15 years sales, Ashley has a unique slant on the healing world. Determined to level the medicine playing field, she arms the next generation of healers with an arsenal of complementary medicine tools and the sales acumen to rocket their businesses to the top of their field. Surrounded with ancient plant healing tomes and rather a rickety computer, Ashley adores looking out over the mountains and watching her scraggy wild baby birds as she works. Above her, smile down pictures of her beautiful belly dancing daughter, her son matriculating into Oxford University and her five year boy giggling over hot chocolate.
