Kate has used this analogy to create fourteen easy steps that can be incorpated gradually over time into daily life. Each of the steps acts like adding another set of grips to the soles of the wellies which enables you to successfully, over time as more grips (steps) are added to climb out of the well or at least be in less darkness.About the Author - When her own health began to fail and mainstream menthods of treatment were missing something Kate Birch-Scanlan knew that she needed to do something to promote her own healing and recovery.
