I left Mac halfway through grade 11 due to" family stuff" and moved to Burnaby, BC. So I actually graduated in 1971 as B.C. had grade 12. It is interesting to note the difference in education expectation, I was failing math in PQ, and getting B’s in BC.
I went to college for fashion design and worked in the fashion industry for 13 years. The lure of bigger and better things led me to Toronto in 1978. What a 24/7 job that was but fun.
My life journey so far has been chocked full of events, some of which I would not wish on anyone. I have experienced ADHD, M.S., learning challenges, addictions, depression and numerous family deaths of which Dorothy was the most recent. I miss her. We were in the same grade since she accelerated grade 3-4.
All these life experiences has enabled me to find my passion, I love to learn especially about the brain and nervous system. I am curious about what makes us tick, get ticked and stop ticking. I am a Registered Polarity Practitioner a comprehensive health building system that integrates the physiology and chemistry with the electromagnetic energy of the body. Some other areas of study are, Kinesiology (Brain Gym, specialized & developmental), NLP and Craniosacral.
Currently living in Barrie, I have a private practice where I aid people of all ages in becoming more integrated so they may Live to Learn& Learn to Live.
Most importantly, I have experienced a lot of JOY.
Married for 22 years to an amazing talented man, John Umney-Gray, we have 3 children; Dustin 20, Samantha 18, and Fiora 16. In their process of growing up, they have been supplying me with lots of opportunities to further my studies. We have a lovely property near the lake where we are constantly under renovation, building and changing. We also have 2 dogs, 2 cats and goldfish that have me quite well trained.
All in all, I have a great life.
I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone’s pictures. It is amazing how the brain can switch back to that age by just an image. I realized when I saw my picture that my hair was my very first lesson in energy conservation. My hair is VERY curly and whether I like it or not, it is brown. Talk about a waste of energy in attempting to make it something it is not.
Thank you every one for this website, it has been fun.
