Bio

Nancy Goudie along with her husband Ray heads up the creative and innovative charity ngm (see www.ngm.org.uk ). She was born in Ayr, Scotland when at the age of six she had a very powerful and dramatical experience of God. She grew up in a musical family and in her teens was part of a well-established band called Unity. As well as singing with the band she also put her qualifications in speech (ALCM) to good use by being one of the narrators in the musicals that Unity produced. Nancy had many opportunities to gain experience in the media as Unity appeared on many television and radio shows and in fact had their own show called 'Unity Sings'.

In 1980, along with her husband, she moved to England and founded and led the internationally known band, Heartbeat. As one of the singers and main speakers, she travelled extensively throughout Britain and abroad seeing people's lives transformed by the message they carried. During the 80s, Ray and Nancy founded ngm as the organisation around the band Heartbeat. When Heartbeat finished in 1991, ngm continued and throughout the years, Nancy and Ray have trained hundreds of people in the arts and given them a vision of reaching their full potential. They are based in Thornbury, Bristol, UK, and have an amazing £3 million music and arts complex where all their training takes place.

Nancy has written seven books, Developing Spiritual Wholeness(1992); Nancy Goudie's Spiritual Health Plan (1995); Nancy Goudie's Spiritual Health Workout (2001); 50 Creative Worship Ideas (2002); Hot Faith (2004); Luv Esther (2006); Treasures of Darkness (2008); The Beloved (2009) and Confident? (2010) as well as writing many articles for mazagines and newspapers. She has also produced her own yearly magazine. She has also recorded four powerful meditation CDs through which many have discovered peace, freedom from stress and encountered God for themselves.

Nancy has also pioneered unique and creative conferences called Nancy Goudie's Spiritual Health Weekends which are extremely popular and are often sold out weeks before the event. They are held once a year in Preston, Bristol and Glasgow  - click here for more details.
