  • Many years ago I was at a Spiritual Managers leadership course during which we were directed to go out and find something to bring back that we felt represented ourselves. I found no inspiration until I stood at the top of the hill when a gust of wind came and meandered around me and through me.

    I went back and explained that I felt the wind represented me because I was always darting around, always changing direction, could be fast or slow, and an overwhelming feeling of wanting to be free flowing in my life.

    A lady then took her turn and had a Veronica flower in her hand,she explained that she felt that she was a Veronica as they grow in clumps and she felt safer and more secure and functioned better in a group. Later she gave the flower to me and said she wanted to give this flower to me as she felt I was the one who would be the leader of the group.

    It was a sereal moment and so I took it. I pressed the flower and thought no more of it. I later worked out my passion in this course and embarked on a five year plan to become a qualified Psychotherapist. Then the synchronicities came my first Counselling teacher was named Veronica Chembri.

    In later years I conducted choirs for ten years and always wanted to call my choir The Veronicas, but no one else seemed to go for it , not surprisingly I suppose as it only meant something to me. Later I began to investigate sound and its effects on the body I knew I wanted this to become my new passion. I knew my retirement was pending from the Police Force and so was working behind the scenes getting qualified in various sound therapy modalities and I knew I needed a name for my pending business.

    I thought I know I will call it Veronicas but again canvassing friends opinion on this it really said nothing about what the business was about. So I went back to the drawing board until one day I stood with a very dear friend next to a clump of flowers on the roadside in Llanfair TH discussing possible names for the business (as you do) and noticed that these were the same flowers that the lady gave me .

    I always thought they were called Veronicas and told him that I always thought I would call my business something with the name Veronica in it , but then my friend said they were called Speedwells, a variety of Veronicas. In that moment I knew the business had to be called Speedwell. I researched the flower and he was right, there are many types of Veronicas but these ones were called Germander Speedwell. There it was all the time!
