June Raymond, born in 1943, took a degree in English and became a teacher. She had also considered marriage but realised that her true calling was to be a nun. She entered the Congregation of Notre Dame and continued teaching while a nun until her health broke down. When she discovered the Creation Spirituality of Matthew Fox, she argued with her Congregation for 'leave for discernment'. Eventually this was granted and she lived for two years on the island of Erraid, off Mull in Scotland. She now lives in a flat attached to her convent in Liverpool where she exercises a ministry of healing through offering Bach flower remedies and through listening.
