Born in Nottingham, England in 1946, Margaret migrated to Australia in 1974. She did not open the door to her spiritual path until 1982, when she lived in Redcliffe, Queensland. "I wish I could say I saw people at the end of the bed, or heard voices, but I did not; I was a late psychic bloomer." Margaret has said. After her training in her mid-thirties, Margaret became highly sought after for her accurate readings and her teaching. In 1991, Margaret was asked by Nancy Bates, Editor of the Maryborough Chronicle in Qld, to write a column for her newspaper. It was to be the start for Margaret of a highly public career.
In 1992 with the breakdown of her marriage, Margaret decided to go to New Zealand for a four-month tour of the country. In New Zealand Margaret soon became very popular and in demand. In 1993 after securing a weekly newspaper column with the Taupo Times, she was asked to become a radio clairvoyant and became very successful on Radio Geyserland in Rotorua and Radio Lakeland in Taupo. The two stations combined to broadcast Margaret's show, which was extremely popular. That same year the New Zealand Woman's Weekly sent a reporter to her for a reading. Margaret did not know that the client was a reporter, but her highly accurate reading was featured in a large story in the magazine.
This story brought in thousands of letters asking for Margaret's help, and she was asked to become the clairvoyant columnist for the magazine. She wrote this column from 1993 until 1996. In 1994 Margaret was also offered a 30 minutes radio show on Radio Pacific and its subsidiaries, covering 27 radio stations around New Zealand.
In 1996 Margaret traveled to the USA for a holiday. It was here that she made the decision to change direction and concentrate on her teaching. During that year, she was given in meditation her highly successful Master of Metaphysics course. She returned home to New Zealand at the end of 1996. During the next four years, Margaret was again on radio, this time with Radio Fifeshire in Nelson, and on relocating to Taupo, on Kiss FM and Radio Lakeland.
Margaret has been featured in the New Zealand Woman's Weekly, Rainbow News magazine, HER Business magazine, and many other newspapers and periodicals. She has written columns for the New Zealand Woman's Weekly, Taupo Times, Taradale Times, and for Insight Magazine in Australia.
In June 1998, Margaret was asked by a large spiritual group within the United Nations in New York, The Society for Enlightenment and Transformation, to speak in trance channel to their group. This is a large group consisting of many diverse people from within the United Nations, ranging from Kofi Annan's Secretary to the door man, and to be asked to address this group of many important people was a very special honor. Margaret addressed them on June 8, 1999. Margaret said this was one of the highlights of her career, and a few months later, she was informed that the speech she gave was deemed to be the best ever to be held at the United Nations group.
At the end of 1999, those she worked with in the world of spirit informed Margaret that she was to return to Australia and become more public. In early 2000 she was offered a monthly column with INSIGHT Magazine, one of Australia's leading spiritual magazines, and continued her column until April 2001.
In 2004 Margaret met Alan McElroy when he attended her courses in Australia, and in July, 2005 they were married. Alan is also a trance channel and healer.
Margaret is now living in Bellevue, WA. USA. She has been instrumental in opening the very successful Australian Institute of Metaphysics in Queensland, Australia. Margaret has also created the Maitreya Educational Foundation in Seattle, USA, where the Corporate Offices of the Maitreya Foundation are located. One of her graduate students has opened the Maitreya Educational Foundation in the Netherlands. Plans are now in place for the creation of the San Diego Maitreya Foundation. The web site she founded with her spiritual mentor and teacher, Maitreya, is one of the most successful spiritual web sites on the Internet. The site currently has a viewing audience of over 3 million people per month from over 130 countries around the world. The web site is growing each day with those who are searching for metaphysical information. "There has never been such a thirst for metaphysical knowledge." Margaret has said. This web site, www.maitreya-edu.org, was created in 1996.
