First and foremost, I am a Daughter, Wife and a Mother to 3 beautiful children – the most rewarding job of all and the one that helps me to continue to grow and stay grounded.

I have successfully held a Management Career in Banking for 18 years, where I worked in multiple roles and gained diverse experience including training, coaching and development, alongside raising my young family. Coaching and development are skills that came naturally to me and I found real satisfaction in watching my colleagues develop and grow.

Due to the sudden loss of my father at the age of 61, my world turned upside down and my direction in life changed. I chose to leave my career to focus on my well-being and prioritise caring for my family through the grief and their different health issues. My father was my biggest supporter and strength, loosing him created a hole in my life. Moving forward with this huge loss has been one of the most painful parts of my life which has helped me grow on many levels.

During the Covid pandemic, I took advantage of building life skills with my family in a holistic way and improving our overall health and wellbeing. We started the day with exercise with P.E with Joe; made healthy homemade food; appreciated our garden, air and nature; started walking daily; got creative with activities and building relationships, as well as facing the challenges the pandemic brought whilst keeping a strong mindset. This time strengthened us a family and shaped our futures for the better.

My transformational journey started when my son was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease (IBD) which came as a huge shock. I had already been living with Crohn’s and Colitis (IBD) for many years, due to my husband having the same condition. This is the time where I gained a lot of my knowledge and research which I was able to apply for our son and approach his diagnosis Holistically such as manage stress, diet/nutrition and establish root causes and work energetically. This learning journey has been the most testing chapter of my life but also the most rewarding due to successful results for both my son and husband. I learnt about the mind, body, emotions and soul on a deeper level.

I have firsthand experience in facing and living a life of adversity, building resilience and firmly holding onto a positive mindset. This brings me to my purpose of helping others through their life struggles, by sharing and empowering them with knowledge to make better informed decisions for their own health and wellbeing.

I first took the step to set up a Facebook group to share my knowledge, experience and research with like-minded parents, who also have children with IBD where I further developed myself by giving and gaining new knowledge and support. I was encouraged by others and some parents to consider helping in a professional manner due to my knowledge and life experiences. I naturally started to evolve over time and looked into training as a Holistic Life Coach. Due to a high interest in my Holistic Approach for IBD from Facebook members, I set up a second group which is for the wider community. I share everything I know about IBD and gut health based on my 10 years + experience, with the hope to empower others with new knowledge and helping them create their own strategies to get control back in their lives and for their loved ones.

My dream of making a difference to humanity has come to life – through my purposeful career of being a Holistic Life Coach Practitioner, managing 2 Holistic Facebook Groups in my free time and delivering Mind, Body & Soul classes in a group environment and on a individual basis.

I’m now living my purpose of transforming lives by becoming a catalyst, in helping others create the life they want to live. The journey continues…..!
