In her training as a physiotherapist at the Middlesex Hospital Sheila Stevens learned to help damaged bodies. But she was searching for something deeper, more meaningful and more satisfying.

In this candid and inspiring book, which will be of great help to readers young and old, Sheila recounts the story of her life's journey. With rare insight and humour she recalls her school-days, when she looked forward to marriage and a family, then her training and practice as a physiotherapist in wartime. Only later did she realise that married life might not be for her but that she could find fulfilment in other ways.

When she retired from her chosen profession, a new career in healing opened up before her. Now aged 82, her journeys, recounted so frankly, with great humour, and often through allegories, still continues unabated.
