About Me

---

As a working mum of two teenage daughters, I understand the exhaustion, stress, and emotional turbulence that come with trying to balance life’s many demands. Parenting has its challenges, and raising a neurodiverse child has brought its own unique lessons.

In my search for ways to care for myself and my family, I immersed myself in learning—researching, reading, listening to podcasts, and ultimately the completion of my Holistic Counselling Certification.

What began as a personal journey—an effort to understand self-care on a deeper level and reclaim my own well-being—soon became something more. The more I learned, the more I felt compelled to share this knowledge with others. Every woman deserves access to the tools and insights that can help them thrive, and that realization led me to create Balanced Life Women's Wellness—a space where women can reconnect with themselves, find balance, and embrace a holistic approach to well-being that truly nourishes the mind, body, and soul.

My Approach - Lived Experience and Genuine Connection

When seeking support, many people look for two things: professional skill and genuine understanding. While I hold a Master Holistic Counsellor Certification, the foundation of my practice is built on 47 years of lived experience. I understand firsthand the realities of burnout, the emotional weight of being a working mother and partner, and the unique challenges and heartbreak of raising a neurodivergent child.

My commitment to you is time, warmth, and non-judgmental presence. This is not about being rushed or given a 'prescription' - it's about holding space for you to talk, cry, laugh, vent and process without pressure. My role is to gently prompt, question, and help you reconnect with your own deep knowing, your intuition, so you can discover what you need to heal and thrive. To me, that genuine, relatable understanding is the most essential qualification I bring to every session.
