Joy Burnett Author

Joy Burnett is a well-travelled, independent lady who loves new experiences. Having lived in Oman, Brunei, Abu Dhabi and Spain, she now lives in Northamptonshire, UK with her husband, a dog and four cats. Born in Somerset, she went to school in Farnham and Harrow. Her professional life has included fashion retail management, running playgroups, practicing aromatherapy, reflexology, holistic health care and nutrition. In 1990 as a result of working with Aids patients, part of her clinical thesis on the immune system was published in Shirley Price’s book `Aromatherapy for Health Professionals’. In 1993 she opened her own training school. `The Rainbow Bridge School of Aromatherapy’ in North Yorkshire was nationally accredited with The International Society of Professional Aromatherapists (ISPA) and for over 11 years she taught and practiced both there and in other schools. On retirement, she joined a local writers’ group, which inspired her to start writing. To date she has written a racy romance, `On the Loose,’ a book of short stories about holiday cruising, `All at Sea,’ and two Aromatherapy books, `Healing with Essential Oils’ and `Aromatherapy for Massage Practitioners.’ She has two grown sons, one of whom lives in Australia and now enjoys her pets, painting and local theatre.
