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 co-moderator of the

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 people who have a serious interest in the study of hands - hand reading professionals, scientists, researchers etc.

I have appeared in "Red" magazine, interviews on BBC Radio Devon, and featured in a Daily Star Sunday magazine article on palmistry.

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 in Torquay, Devon, England. (see "Readings" page). I am also known locally as Anna, having been established for many years working with Kiera. Together we practice and teach palmistry and tarot. (see "Courses" page).
