My life started when I went to work abroad at the ripe age of 18, with little in the way of expectations I packed my suitcase and reluctantly boarded the plane to Italy hoping for the best. 11 years on from then, I'd worked in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria and France, where I lived for the end 5 years. I had a niggling feeling inside me that I had always wanted to be a nurse, and after the 5th winter of struggling to find a job in Argeles-sur-mer, I decided it was time to return, temporarily, to the UK to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse, with the intention of returning to the south of France upon completion of university to work as a nurse there.

 

Shortly after returning to the UK to start my nursing course, I sadly lost my partner, at the time, to suicide, which turned my plans of going back to France upside down. Instead, slowly losing faith in the universe without really knowing. Some time after, I was gifted a new partner and he introduced me to spiritual concepts which seemed to almost click inside of me one day. I continued with my nursing journey the whole time as I had a true desire to help others, but the further into the medical system I got, the more I could see an alternate model of health. One that truly treats an individual as a whole being, one that takes into account the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual. I noticed that long term (chronic) medical dis-eases were not being addressed at their root cause or even being prevented in the first instance, with people suffering through life with these conditions that were unnecessary. 

​

To this day I still work as a nurse, as I would like to develop my knowledge of Western ways whilst trying to find a way that combines the best bits of this with the best bits of Eastern medicine.

 

As I delved further into my research, I found more and more benefits of spiritual practices in creating overall wellness and even links with science, quantum physics in particular, that turn the mystical world of spirituality into scientific evidence. The statistics that come out of the benefits of spiritual practice are astoundingly positive. I'd noticed that through the years of reading I'd done on different topics that there was a way to condense this information together to make it a practical guide for others to use to help themselves, this is why I am in the process of writing a book that combines all of this, hoping that it would help and inspire others to take control of their holistic health and wellness.

 

Whilst writing this book I had an epiphany, why not combine and share my love for travel and help others all at once. That is what started off the wellness retreat holidays where I really get to spend time with small groups of individuals, guiding them towards being their best selves through spiritual wellness practices, whilst enjoying the rich cultural experience of being in a magical place and making connections with other like minded souls. My hope is to inspire others to be their best selves, to truly realise their potential and abilities and share this with the world.
