I first became interested in hands in 1989 after my friend, Kiera, a.k.a Debbie, took me (nay, dragged me, kicking and screaming!) to have my palm read ~ she was paying, so I couldn't politely refuse! I entered the room as a sceptic... little did I know my life was about to change! Beleta, the palmist and Tarot reader, was so accurate about many aspects of my life and character. I was impressed, amazed and intrigued - I had no idea the hand could reveal so much. Beleta offered to teach me how to become a palmist. By now very curious to see how it's done, I went along to her classes at the Meridian Centre.

Learning palmistry is hard work, but by observing hands, trying and testing out what Beleta taught me, and encouraged by the positive feedback, I soon became obsessed with this fascinating subject! I read every palmistry book I could find, but still had many unanswered questions. In 1994 I began a course in elemental hand analysis with the Cheirological Society ~ it was brilliant! With the help of my tutor, Christopher Jones, I went on to gain Diplomas in Chirology, attaining standards achieved by only 20 others in that field. What's more, I learnt a lot about myself, about people and life in general. Hand analysis & the elements opened the door to so much more!

With handreading, you never stop learning. There is so much research still to be done, and so much to learn from others. I keep in almost daily contact with leading hand analysts from all over the world, via internet & email, to discuss ideas & techniques, weed out the palmistry myths, and share information, research and modern discoveries on hands.

I am assistant moderator at

MODERN HAND READING FORUM A discussion forum for palm reading, palmistry & reading hands, a 'bridge' between science & modern hand analysis.
co-moderator of:

Hand Analysis of the Future Forum Integrating Palmistry, Tarot & Astrology in the 21st Century

Yahoo Palmistry Primal Focus Group, an online palmistry discussion group open to all.
I am also assistant manager of

the Hand Reading Cyber Cafe
a worldwide forum for hand reading professionals, scientists, researchers etc. (now archived more than active)

I have been interviewed by / had palmistry articles featured in national and local magazines and newspapers, interviews on local radio, BBC Radio Devon & "Voice America".

My area of particular interest is in the hands of people with learning difficulties, which I have always hoped to research in more depth given the time and opportunity. Having said that, I am interested in ALL hands and love to see hands with unusual or rare features!!

I give talks, workshops and run courses in hand analysis and modern palmistry. I do readings from "Discovery" in Torquay Market, Devon, England. click here for "Discovery" website

I am also known locally as Anna (my first palmistry teacher gave me that name 20 years ago, she said "One day you will make a good ANAlytical palmist" ;-) ), having been established for many years working with Kiera. Together we teach palmistry and tarot courses in Torquay.
