My Story
I was born in London, had an early stint in India as a toddler, then moved back to India at 7, Dubai at 9, and back to the UK at 13.
During those years I was traumatised by separation from my father, violence from a teacher and abuse from someone my family knew.
Returning to the UK at 13, I encountered racism and violent bullying at school. By 15 I was reeling with emotional pain and desperate to escape life. Looking for love and acceptance in the wrong places, I found myself in trouble with the law.
It was in the middle of all of this that I received Jesus into my heart. In the middle of turmoil, I found a true friend.
"He heals the wounds of every shattered heart."
Psalm 147:3
Through my teens and twenties, the pain worked its way out through negative behaviour patterns, addictions and unhealthy relationships.
One thing I never lost though was the sense of the reality of God and His hand on my life.
My past along with my destructive, sinful lifestyle took its toll. During this desperate season, I wanted to hurt myself and found it hard to go outside during the day. I was a walking zombie.
It was in that desperate place that I told God I had made a mess and gave Him the Lordship of my life. Immediately a ton of weight lifted off me.
The VERY NEXT DAY, He sent a pastor into my life, who took me under her wing and helped me heal and grow.
In 1996 I moved to Brighton where I experienced further healing and growth — and where I met and married my German husband Robert. God knew exactly what I needed, and Robert has been a great part of my restoration.
In 2003 we moved to Germany to attend Bible school, and I have been teaching and ministering ever since — in churches, Bible schools, conferences and prayer groups across Europe, in English and German.
The early part of my life left me with deep compassion for the traumatised and the hurting. Out of that compassion flows a healing anointing from God. I teach, proclaim Jesus, share my story and help introduce the sick and broken-hearted to the love of God.
Came to Life is about receiving the revelation of who we are in our risen identity in Christ — and allowing that to transform us. No matter what you have been through or how broken you feel, it is possible.
Even if you feel stuck or that progress is slow — keep going forward with your eyes fixed on the finished work of Jesus. You are unconditionally loved by God. He is for you. And that changes everything.
