Gaye has been brought up in the spiritual world and words like spirit guides and healing were a natural part of her childhood vocabulary. I can remember various people telling me that I had healing hands from a very young age and wishing I could see 'ghosts' as I called them in those days.

At around the age of 13 I decided I wanted a career in Nursing and when I was 18 began a three year training course in my chosen vocation. During my training I can remember a young boy who had been in a motor bike accident and was very badly injured. It was my job when I was on duty to sit with him and massage his hand in the hope it would keep the circulation going enough so he would not lose his hand. I tried so desperately to heal his hand but it was to no avail and he ended up having it amputated. I felt such a failure and decided that everyone was wrong and I obviously did not have healing hands. I also put to bed any idea's of being psychic and seeing 'ghosts' as I used to call spirit.

In reality, I was right in the fact that I did and still don't have healing hands, as it is not me that does the healing, I now know that I am only a channel for the divine energy to pass through.

Following my training as a Nurse, I went to on train as a Midwife, it was one night on a night shift that my first experience came of seeing spirit in the physical sense or a 'ghost' as I called it as a child. At the time I did not realize what I was seeing. It was around 9.15pm when I was doing the rounds on an ante natal ward. I went into a side ward to look for a particular piece of equipment, there was a women in the bed which was not unusual and as I was in a rush I just acknowledged her as I walked around the bed, picked up the piece of equipment I needed and said I would be back shortly to see her. She just smiled at me and I didn't give it a second thought. At least I didn't give it a second thought until I walked back into the room to go and see her again and she was not there. The bed was completely made up ready and waiting for the next patient. I stood there bemused. My colleague laughed at the look on my face and said 'what is the matter with you, you have gone white, have you seen a ghost or something?'. My mother always said to me that many a true word is said in jest..

Of course I tried to make sense of this and accused her of moving beds around without my knowledge. This ruffled her feathers a bit as she would not have moved anyone around in reality without me requesting it. I told her what I had seen and she tried to say I was mistaken, that I was tired, I was pregnant, she came out with endless excuses, but I could describe her in such detail, however there were some oddities when I tried to make sense of it. She did not speak to me at all, there was no jug and glass on the bed side locker, there was no clothing or clutter in the room that most patients have in hospital with them. I felt I was going mad.

Word of my sighting had spread around the unit and an older colleague eventually came to my rescue. Without even talking to me she could tell me what I saw, what time I saw her and describe her in as much detail as I had. It seemed that she had seen her the previous week at the exact same time. Following that incident more events followed, I would hear noises of someone being sick and not be able to find them, I would hear voices and not know where they were coming from, I would smell flowers where there was none around, I would feel a draft when no windows or doors were open, my belongings would be moved or taken from me only to be returned at a later date, windows and doors would open over night when previously they had been too stiff to open. The list just goes on and on.

For a while I ignored my psychic abilities and just put all the above events down to spooky happenings and thought of them as good dinner conversation. I began writing poetry and put together my first website called Poetry 'n' rhyme, I strongly believe that poetry is a wonderful form of healing.

It wasn't until my children were almost grown up and a very special person passed on that my spiritual path really began. I feel that events leading up to this particular time of my life were all just preparation for what was to come. In 1999 I began looking for answers to some very strange happenings. I needed to make sense of various events. There is a saying that when the pupil is ready the teacher will come. I was very lucky that a particular person was guided to me and provided me a lot of answers to my very many questions. Although what I was looking for was to become a crystal healer, she suggested that I would also make a great Spiritual Healer. I had never thought of this as felt I was not really psychic and as said earlier I did not have healing hands either, so how could I possibly be a Spiritual Healer. However she convinced me to give it a go. I began my training in both spiritual healing and crystal healing and from that day on I have not looked back. I have been a fully qualified and insured Spiritual Healer since the late 90s and have since qualified as a Reiki Master and crystal therapist which allows me to now share my knowledge with others. Gaye provides Reiki courses in Aylesbury which is in Buckinghamshire, close to the surrounding area's of Milton Keynes,  Leighton Buzzard, Thame, High Wycombe has people visit from as far away as Watford and the London Area.

As a spiritual healer and crystal therapist I had to undergo quite an arduous training with many months spent developing my understanding of the healing energies and getting to know my spirit guides and crystals. I had to keep a journal of my spiritual journey and my experiences during many hours of meditation and healing sessions which made for some very interesting reading.

I have had the most amazing experiences and feel very privileged to have been shown some of the things that I cannot even begin to explain. I have been so lucky to meet the right people at the right time who have nurtured and helped me develop into the High Level Psychic Medium I am today. As the years have gone on, it seemed a natural progression to want to share my knowledge and love of crystals with others which has brought us up to date and the Spirit Walker Website.

My next venture is to write a book on my life's journey and include my many psychic and spiritual experiences. If you have enjoyed reading this short except of my life and would be interested in reading more please let me know as this would possibly give me the encouragement I need to get this latest project underway!

Every day brings a new adventure!
