Marion Jones [BAHA Healer; PMHD (APSS)] has been healing for over 35 years through the laying-on-of-hands, but mostly through prayer and absent or distant (thought) healing methods.

She began her quest into spiritual matters in the 1970s and 'I am still building up my fund of knowledge and experience, for no one is ever fully developed,' she cautions.

Her down-to-earth but compassionate approach to healing is appreciated by her many clients.
