My Passions

My businesses, I have 3 of them – all have a common them of integrating the benefits of the health and wellbeing industry within a practical element of how to integrate it in your daily life. I feel with all of my businesses, they are an expression of who I am, and leverage my 20 years of corporate background with a true respect for how a holistic approach to your life, allows you to achieve true balance. Being that I understand the stresses that project deadlines, increasing sales targets and workload demands that both corporate and small business can provide, I have a passion to share ways you can achieve success without having a detrimental effect to your health and relationships.

My Interests

On my days off, I enjoy a beautiful aromatherapy bath, meditation and writing in my journal, and listening to music – with so much activity in my day to day, I really do enjoy some “time out” to reflect and replenish. I also enjoy great food, wine and quality time with my husband, with both of us being self-employed, we need to ensure time together is given priority. Being a home body, I love a day relaxing at home, cooking a great meal and when we are experiencing a cold or rainy day, spending time in front a log fire.
