Kerry Doyle – Tribute Obituary August 1954 – October 2023

 

Kerry Doyle was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Health where she gained a Diploma in Nutrition and Health. She ran an aromatic practice for 5 years and was the UK distributor for Pranarom for a number of years.

 

Kerry Doyle

 

Kerry was born in Cirencester in August 1954. The eldest of two girls.  At the age of 6 months the family moved back to the East Riding (the land of the big skies this formed her passion for light) where she lived for the rest of her life apart from 3 years at college and two years working in London and Malta.

She died on 8^th. October 2023 and was buried in an antique white wedding dress with a daisy garland at the local Priory Wood natural Cemetery.

After school she had various jobs, but in 1979 after a period of ill health she was advised to take up art. She did to such an extent that she was accepted at the Bath Academy of Art at Corsham gaining a degree in Fine Art (Sculpture).

She trained as a Therapist at Champneys and during the Aids years she was a councillor for the families of HIV patients and later a therapist for HIV patients.

During this time, she bought and sympathetically renovated a 18^th century town house in Hull even to the extent of making (including mixing the plaster) and attaching new cornices to most rooms. This house became the centre for her aromatherapy massage practice and later the essential oils business. The house was opposite the stage door of the theatre and her clients regularly included actors and ballet dancers.

Her beautiful Georgian house speaks of Kerry, it houses her art, her oils, her books her amazing collection of antique clothes and treasures all reminding us of her completely delightful self and her full and wonderful life.

She had an open and enquiring mind and continued through her life to try new and old ideas. She was an early advocate of juicing. She continued through the rest of her life to daily use essential oils and juicing. She was a fan of open water swimming and regularly swam in the North Sea off the coast of East Yorkshire fortified by her essential oil remedies.

She was very fond of her dogs – 3 rescue greyhounds and was a regular and popular sight walking them on the streets of Hull.

She came to painting again after attending a lecture, at the local Art Gallery of which she was a patron for a time, by Rose Horspool on Georgia O’Keefe; Rose became her teacher and mentor. Kerry being Kerry never took the conventional path became a plein air painter painting the light and skies over the Humber (in all weathers) reconnecting with her passion for light formed in her early years on the family farms on the banks of the Humber. She was a great fan of Joan Eardley and visited Catterline on holidays to paint the same seas as Joan.

Throughout her life she was an avid advocate of women’s empowerment voraciously reading any book on the subject. She was always open to new ideas and experiences.

Her favourite saying was “moderation in everything including moderation” it suited her well.

She is survived by Terry her long-term partner and “sceptical friend” from The Fragrant Journey (Positive Health Aug 1998), her niece Maya and several cousins.

 

 

 

Quantum Wellness – Sarah Williams Organic Aromatherapy

What is my purpose? Why am I here? 

Have you ever asked yourself these questions? 

We have all been awaiting “med bed“ style options and now Quantum healing is freely available to everyone.  This is off world technology combining  transitional state element( crystalline TSEs) with copper as the conductor. This has been ‘back engineered’ by 2 scientists here in England to make it wireless. It seems to communicate via plasma fields as a form of positive AI.

 

https://www.organic-aromatherapy.co.uk/post/higher-self-connection-quantum-offer

 

Our bodies are made from water, light and magnetic fields (99% water if you include the water held in a gel state). We have seen the power of homeopathy and Masuro Emotos and Vida Austin’s research. This WSU [Wholeness Support Unit] V4 is an opportunity to remind you of what you signed up for this incarnation! Like a phone call directly through to your Higher Self which affects all bodies ( physical, emotional, mental and spiritual). We all have stem cells and original DNA encoded with information designed to grow healthy bodies. This technology seems to activate it . Limited only by our soul contracts we can heal anything! 

We have even seen miraculous healing in animals who were not aware of being in ‘“pod’ !

Examples: 

• We have witnessed help easing of symptoms for people diagnosed  with Parkinson’s Disease (and other serious neurological disorders ) 
• All joint, neck and back pain 
• Inflammation 
• Eyes, ears and sensory issues
• Pain relief
• Emotional upliftment ( depression) 
• Spiritual gifts being ‘remembered’

Testimonials are available on my website as well as videos on the Orynoco site (see sources below.) It’s now possible to share the opportunity of an amazing quantum face to face/remote/distance trial session in the [Wholeness Support Unit]  WSU V4 "pod" with powerful results as we’ve proved. We know that distance healing works as many blind studies reveal. 

I am based in England and have been seeing wonderful miracles happen as I use a surrogate body here and then transmit to anywhere in the world. I have so many testimonials observing instant results and effects, although maximum benefits also appear during integration of effects (72hrs) . 

Combine this with the facilitation of a balanced soul star chakra (15ml chakra balancing cream) from our expansive range and you’ll be flying high “remembering” what your life purpose is! This quite simply can make life easier. 

At my talks and demo entitled “Quantum Healing “ which are incredibly well attended and received , packed to capacity indicating a real readiness for this method of wellness! 

Instant Pain Relief

I shared the miraculous, magical quantum loop. .. when I hand them to people with back pain, sore knees , painful neck/ shoulders etc. people just feel their instant effects and don’t want to give them back!

 Magic that you can try for free! 

Speaking as a professional full time holistic therapist for over 30yrs , I have never seen results kind this! I’ve been trying it out for myself, my family and clients for over a year now since Sept 2022 .I am “ blown away” by the results and testimonials!  

All my sessions are now amplified and influenced by the Orynoco  V4"pod". 

“In the next phase of our human development we will need to explore the quantum field” 

Malcolm Boscher   ( Orynoco)

 

I'm so excited to be able to share this Quantum Wholeness Support Unit (WSU) V4 vibrational crystalline frequency based energy from my healing space

The individual insurance scheme offered through our Affinities team is unique to us and is one of the most comprehensive wordings of its type within the UK.  Through our chairman David Balen’s teaching and Healing, colleagues in the Natural Therapy fields asked him to get involved in the early 1990s in setting up multi-therapy insurance schemes for Health and Well-being Professionals.  Such policies were not easily available to therapists at this time as the policies were more focused to those in the medical professions.  David worked on designing and refining cover that would meet the specific needs of Health and Well-being professionals, this is where our journey with these clients began.

Ayurveda – Ancient and Science-Based System of Medicine;  The College of Ayurveda UK

 

Ayurveda is a science-based healthcare approach that treats illness and promotes wellness by focusing assessment on biochemically-unique aspects of each patient, and then individually tailoring interventions to restore psychological, physiological and structural imbalances. Ayurvedic medicine not only recognizes the uniqueness of the individual but also the oneness of all creation and how this translates into human health on all levels. There has been a worldwide surge of interest in Ayurvedic medicine as people seek health and well-being.

Ayurvedic Medicine, based on the Vedic wisdom expounded by the ancient sages, is the most ancient system of medicine known to mankind It emerged within the Vedic culture that arose on the foothills of Himalayas and along the banks of the great rivers of India.

 

College of Ayurveda Spices and Food

https://www.ayurvedacollege.org/our-courses

 

The basic principles upon which Ayurvedic medicine/healthcare operates are:

• Biochemical individuality based on genetic and environmental uniqueness;
• Dynamic balance of internal and external factors;
• Web-like interconnections of psycho-physiological processes;
• Health as a positive vitality – not merely the absence of disease;
• Promotion of organ reserve through psycho-neuro-immunological processes;
• Patient-centred rather than disease focused healthcare.

Using these principles, Ayurvedic healthcare practitioners focus on understanding the fundamental physiological processes, the environmental inputs, and the genetic predisposition that influence every person’s experience of health and disease. A person is considered an integral part of the Universe which is governed by natural laws. Ayurveda works primarily on human constitution called Dosha and Prakruti through lifestyle counselling, herbal preparations, nutrition, massage, yoga and Panchakarma all used to bring about balance and harmony in the body.

The College of Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy is the premier educator for individuals seeking to make a difference in the world through a career restoring the natural balance of body, mind and spirit with the wisdom of Ayurveda. This mission has been the central driving force of the College since its inception. The College of Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy is the only institution in the UK that offers a complete Ayurvedic programme comparable in content to the B. A. M. S. (Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine & Surgery) degree course taught in India.

The College, which promote the values of a tolerant and democratic society and the ideals of scholarship and the benefits of life-long education and training, aims to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive Ayurvedic medical education. It works to develop and support educational programmes and select a student body of such a size that every student has a quality and relevant educational experience, and provide students with clearly defined academic programmes, competent teaching, a caring and supportive academic structure and an attractive and facilitating environment.

Crucible Books – A Theurgic Life

by Allan Armstrong

Published by Crucible Books. 2023. Hardback. £25.00, post-free in UK

 

An Introduction to Theurgy

The author demonstrates in this book that far from being a discipline frequently associated with magic, and the elevation of Self, it is a means by which the soul is able to achieve union with the Divine aspect of life that is ever-present within Creation. He sums up the work of Theurgy in the following words:

 

“Let us never forget that the theurgic life is not simply a life of never-ending rituals,
but a life of service to God, Self, Humanity, Nature, and all living things
that follow the path of becoming.”

The London Acupuncture Clinic – Beverley de Valois PhD

 

Beverley de Valois PhD LicAc FBAcC MBLS, one of the foremost authorities in the western world on using acupuncture for cancer survivors, has spent the past 25 years researching how the treatment can manage aftereffects of cancer treatments including hot flushes, night sweats, fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety and dry mouth.

 

Dr de Valois +Clinic + Book

https://www.londonacupuncture.co.uk

 

Her new clinic, hosted by the London Acupuncture Clinic in Wimpole Street, London is the first such clinic dedicated to cancer survivorship post-treatment. Up to 25% of cancer survivors experience long term consequences of cancer and its treatment, which are often not adequately addressed by the healthcare system.

Dr de Valois said: “Many survivors are told that nothing can be done to alleviate their symptoms and that they need to learn to live with them. But numerous research studies show that acupuncture can help alleviate these symptoms and the evidence base is sufficiently robust for prestigious oncology organisations to recommend acupuncture as a treatment option for the consequences of cancer and its treatments.”

Many cancer survivors, who have faced complex aftereffects of cancer and its treatments report dramatic improvements in their lives following acupuncture.

Dr de Valois has recently published a book: “Acupuncture and Cancer Survivorship: Recovery, Renewal and Transformation”. In it she argues that acupuncture should be part of the multidisciplinary care of cancer survivors, as it can offer a non-pharmacological approach that sometimes equals the effectiveness of conventional drugs.

Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival

by Daniel Finkelstein

Published by William Collins. 2023. Hardback. £20.99 / $39.62.   ISBN-10:0008483841.

 

“From longstanding political columnist and commentator Daniel Finkelstein, a powerful memoir exploring both his mother and his father’s devastating experiences of persecution, resistance and survival during the Second World War.”

 

Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0008483841/

 

“Daniel’s mother Mirjam Wiener was the youngest of three daughters born in Germany to Alfred and Margarete Wiener. Alfred, a decorated hero from the Great War, is now widely acknowledged to have been the first person to recognize the existential danger Hitler posed to the Jews and began, in 1933, to catalogue in detail Nazi crimes. After moving his family to Amsterdam, he relocated his library to London and was preparing to bring over his wife and children when Germany invaded the Netherlands. Before long, the family was rounded up, robbed and sent to starve in Bergen-Belsen.

“Daniel’s father Ludwik was born in Lwów, the only child of a prosperous Jewish family. In 1939, after Hitler and Stalin carved up Poland, Ludwik’s father was arrested and sentenced to hard labour in the Gulag. Meanwhile, deported to Siberia and working as a slave labourer on a collective farm, Ludwik survived the freezing winters in a tiny house he built from cow dung.

“Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad is a deeply moving, personal and at times horrifying memoir about Finkelstein’s parents’ experiences at the hands of the two genocidal dictators of the twentieth century. It is a story of persecution; survival; and the consequences of totalitarianism told with the almost unimaginable bravery of two ordinary families shining through.

Why Am I Eating This? Is This the Nourishment I Need?

by Sandy Robertson

Published by ASIN. 2023. Paperback.  £8.95/ $10.95.  ISBN-13: 979-8857752715.

 

In Why Am I Eating This? Is This the Nourishment I Need?, registered nurse and former corporate and hospital wellness program manager Sandy Robertson shares steps in which readers can transform their relationship with food, making space for self-care as a form of nourishment. With a background in holistic nursing and leading preventive lifestyle change programs around mind/body wellness in several corporations and hospitals, Robertson brings her wealth of knowledge to this 2nd edition of the book.

 

Why Am I Eating This

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Am-Eating-This-nourishment/dp/B0CFZ889BH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

 

In a world that seems obsessed with fad diets and quick fixes, it's easy to lose sight of what truly nourishes our soul. If you're tired of diets that focus solely on counting calories and restricting food, brace yourself for a revolutionary approach to weight loss. Why Am I Eating This? is not just another diet program; it's a holistic journey toward intentional eating and lasting transformation. Robertson’s seven-point plan goes beyond the plate, delving into the depths of your desires and uncovering the truth about eating. Exploring the link between what and when we eat and the self-love we deserve is at the core of Why Am I Eating This? The book provides an intelligent approach toward our relationship with food. Through gentle curiosity, mindful eating exercises, meditations and strategies for self-nourishment, Robertson guides readers toward self-discovery, offering lightbulb moment questions to provide new perspectives on the choices we make about food, inviting us to explore our personal relationships with food. The book expertly lays the groundwork for those who want to uncover some mysteries of their eating patterns, such as why we eat more than we need or what might trigger when we eat.

Why Am I Eating This? acknowledges that often we turn to eating as a coping mechanism, seeking comfort or distraction from our emotions. Offering powerful new tools to learn to make empowered, wise choices with food, Robertson helps readers move toward a more compassionate, nurturing and nourishing relationship with themselves. The book is a welcome guide for those frustrated with overeating despite awareness of healthy food options or realizing they use food to self-soothe. It is also for anyone frustrated by yo-yo dieting or fed up with not being able to fit into clothes they love. Robertson reveals the nourishment we may be really seeking through our personal eating habits and patterns: self-love. When we truly care about ourselves, our physical health habits frequently improve. As she states, “Outer self-care reflects inner self-love and appreciation. When we love and cherish ourselves, we will want to love and cherish our bodies and will want to fill it with just the right amount of nourishing and healthy food.” (At least most of the time!)

About the Author

For the past 25 years, she has been a notable corporate and healthcare systems manager/leader/educator of wellness and obesity programs, and she has been in the forefront of integrative, complementary and mind/body approaches to behaviour change.
