About the Author Jaki has been interested in the subtle effects that colour can have on people for the past eight years.

Jaki used both Colour and Gems to help create more balance in what was a ‘difficult’ time in her life. Whether the benefits were psychological or real she cannot prove. But there were benefits!

This little book is just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ – but hopefully it will generate an interest and positive change for you.
