I am Sheila Murray and my passion is wellness. I want to help people bring their body back into balance resulting in a sense of wellbeing.

For over 20 years I’ve been watching, with growing concern, the way medication is handed out to "cure" the symptoms instead of treating the patient, ie, looking at the background of what's causing the symptoms. This led me to explore complementary therapies like Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Reiki, to name a few. I took a course in Homeopathy First Aid and then a Foundation Course which has helped me to treat me, my dogs and my family and close friends.

My background is in the textile industry running a company with my late husband until his death in April 2007 when it was his wish that I wind the business up. In 2005 I realised that due to increased competition from the 3rd world countries and Eastern Europe, the textile industry was shrinking in the UK and would be unlikely to support both of us in 5 years'time. I decided that I wanted to look at doing something else part time to build up over 5 years.

At that time, my mother was diagnosed with Osteo-arthritis and was having difficulty walking for more than 10 minutes. She had medication from the consultant, but it was not really working for her. She was in pain and discomfort. We had tried most of the complementary therapies and natural remedies, but there was little help. Then I came across a product called Forever Freedom (link to web page). I also had a dog, Lady, who was 13 years old and also had arthritis in her shoulder and was struggling with her walk. I put both my mother and Lady on Forever Freedom. I noticed an improvement in Lady's walk after 2 weeks and my mother after about 5 weeks. Lady eventually was walking significantly better and further and I managed to reduce her Metacam (Anti-inflammatory medication) from 22.5 units down to 7.5 units. My mother continued to improve and within 4 months she came off her medication and was walking normally, a mile twice a day.

Seeing the improvements that both Lady and my mother had started to make gave me the confidence to get involved with the Forever Living Products business.

In January 2009, MXI Corporation launched their business in the UK as a launching pad into Europe. I decided to get involved with this company not only because I love good quality chocolates, but the fact that these chocolates are really a lump of anti-oxidants. What better way to take a health food in the form of a chocolate? 

My interest in yoga and meditation began when I attended a program called "Emotional Freedom" held at The Chopra Centre in Carlsbad, California. I had already been reading books and listening to audios by Dr Deepak Chopra, MD, world renowned author and physician, since the late 70's and had kept up with his works as I was fasciinated by his philosophy, teachings and approach to life. It was a desire for a long time to attend one of his life programs and the opportunity arose in April 2008 around the first anniversary of my late husband's death.  I was taught Primordial Sound Meditation, which is a requirement at all the programs. We practiced meditation and yoga twice a day throughout the week-long program.  I had previously tried meditating on numerous occasions with different styles, but never quite got to grips with it. I had also learnt Yoga but stopped practicing when the teacher stopped teaching. So with renewed interest, I continued to meditate and practice yoga when I came home.

I then attended another program in July called "Seduction of Spirit", which was held in Dublin. This was too close to home to miss. This program took meditation to a deeper level. We also practiced yoga twice a day. Halfway through this program, something touched me at a deeper level and I felt a calling to bring these practices to people, so before the end of the week, I enrolled in the Vedic Master Teacher training path in Primordial Sound Meditation, Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga and Perfect Health (Ayurveda).

I now run regular weekly yoga classes in Haworth and Keighley. I also fascilitate one-on-one yoga instruction for people whose schedule does not allow them to attend my weekly classes. I instruct Primordial Sound Meditation on a one-on-one basis and I also run the 5-week Ayurveda (Perfect Health) classes in Keighley.

I have also started running an 8-week Relaxation Training Programme where you learn various relaxation techniques to bring about a relaxed state of mind and body, autogenic training, fear and anger management and much more.
