Anna Parkinson

I am a writer and healer who used to be a current affairs producer for the BBC. My first book was 'Nature's Alchemist', published in 2007, which explored the life of an ancestor, John Parkinson, who was herbalist to Charles I. My continuing fascination with plants was sparked by his work. I became a healer after finding myself battling with a brain tumour. i have written a book (due to be published 2014) about my successful struggle to overcome this and the methods I used. My work is to encourage people towards greater health and happiness, and for me, much happiness lies in the process of creating, writing and telling stories.
