Local Dyslexic becomes an Author!

Living with dyslexia has been a real bonus for some and a nightmare for others.  During childhood the issues around dyslexia are many and varied, however this local complementary practitioner has used her childhood experiences as a starting point for her first book; Three Steps to Enjoying Life.

Sue Ricks says that her motivation for writing began when she realised that the strategies that she employs herself are useful to others too.  Sue shares her simple plan with those who wish to enjoy life more or maybe are finding life a bit of a challenge. 

Her early experiences of Dyslexia had a harsh effect on her self esteem until she realised that she could choose to be limited by this condition or rise above it.  Many people find life hard, feel overwhelmed or are natural worriers and so Sue’s clients are now offered a range of complementary treatments plus the chance to talk through things. Sue has turned her experiences around and now become an author, which once would have been thought impossible be her teachers.

Sarah, a busy local mum of two under threes, says that Sue’s book and help has been like a breath of fresh air. She now is so much happier, has a whole new way of coping and is much calmer. She laughs saying “the boys think I am alright now! I have stopped getting on at them all the time”. 

Sue’s practical and easy to use plan is now being introduced into therapy practices up and down the country. Friends, family, clients and students are keen enthusiasts of the technique.  Julie a local medical professional recently said that she will always tell others about the Three Steps to Enjoying Life as it seems so obvious, but one that she did not know before.
