My why

My pumpkin and sweetpea are at the heart of my business.

My son being born at 30 weeks gestation meant that we spent 3 months in hospital care. Being a first time mum in a scary experience changed how I saw the world. We spent the first year in and out of hospital and then covid struck. We then spent our time away from work and family. It was a time where I managed to get back what I felt I lost from the premature birth and hospital start- I never had antenatal classes, I never talked about a birthing plan, I never spent time getting a nursery ready. Those joyful moments never happened. The worry of him passing away, the concerned doctors and all the panics. Covid isolation gave me a time to bond, to watch him take his first steps, we learnt how to be a team. My pumpkin is the person who fills my heart with love like no other.

My daughter- my sweetpea is the light of my life, she was born at 33 weeks gestation and was the size of a Michelin man but still there were worries. I took my time with her, less pressure to be the mum society makes us feel we need to be. She is bubbly, funny, a wild child and I adore her for it. She is the girl I wanted to be. She inspires me every day to take that moment to laugh, to breathe and to not care so much about what others may think- life is too short.

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

I have spent my working life supporting and teaching others. My passion to learn is shown through all I do because I want to allow others to also learn, to feel that passion and to be happy.

‘Work is love made easy’

This is a saying a head teacher I worked with used all the time. It has played a fundamental role in my career and now to build a business in supporting wellbeing for all. I want to build more than just a business, I want to build a community based on my experiences in life. I want to bridge gaps where support is limited. I want new parents to not feel pressured, I want lone parents to not feel alone, I want those who have unwell children to have someone who sees and feels what they do, I want chronically unwell adults to be able to feel unwell and to slow themselves down and for young people out of education to gain valuable skills for their future- a happy mind is a happy body. In doing so I know that my work is intertwined with my love.
