Welcome to the part where I share my story with you. I think everyday of how I can be present, feel light and bring sunshine to my own life, as well as my loved ones and people I meet along the way. I am kind, I am colourful and bright and I am thoughtful. I laugh a lot, and I believe in kindness above all other values.

I was born and bred on the Isle of Wight, with a brief stint living in London where I trained in Acting for Stage and Media. I discovered London was not my destination; I thrive in nature and by the sea, so soon found my way home to the Island for a calmer way of life.

But towards the end of my stage learning, I found a passion in working with people, and trying to make a difference for people and children. So I focussed on writing creative pieces and plays, which led to Theatre in Education. I spent some years working in specialist schools and holding drama workshops for young people and adults with learning disabilities.

I was then led into the path of Child Protection. Here I spent many years within social work, management and then as an Independent Reviewing Officer travelling across the country. I advocated for children and families, navigated complex teams and environments and delivered training. I met some incredible people, and made a difference for the children I worked with. However I began to yearn a softer way of life.

I became a mother to two wonderful and high energy children, and realised that a different pace for this phase of life is needed. I want to discover joy again, and help others find that too. I want to help shape how happiness is told, and how it is discovered. We can shine love in so many ways. I have extensive experience in event management and public speaking. I am trained and experienced in motivational interviewing and coaching, to help every person show their love, through any barrier faced.

I sadly have experienced great loss within my life, and alongside a deeply personal understanding of grief and the impact of this, I have specific training and extensive professional experience in grief, loss and emotional wellbeing. I have a significant amount of experience helping people to tell their truth, discover what they wish to say, and in finding joy in the darkest of moments.
