Christine Folan began work in the jewellery trade, opening her first shop when she was twenty five. She ran a successful business for eighteen years, during which time she bought up two delightful sons. In her forties, Christine sold her business and trained for four years to become a qualified counsellor, training in psychotherapy, integrative cocunselling and transpersonal psychology. After qualifying, she worked as an independent therapist, focusing primarily – among other things – on women’s work. During this time, Christine started a women’s weekly support group which ran for nine years. Discovering The Gospel of Thomas bought a deeper aspect to Christine’s personal life journey and work. After five years of personal study, Christine chose to end all work commitments in order to write her first book, a companion guide to The Gospel of Thomas.
