As far back as I can remember I’m aware of just “knowing” things. I used
to act on my hunches and intuition. Many people regarded me as a risk-taker
in life although that wasn’t how I saw it. For me I was just following my heart.
So for example, I gave up a secure job in teaching to work commission only in financial services because I just “knew” it was the right move. That’s not to say it was an easy transition but it definitely moved me on through many more changes towards a much happier and more fulfilled life.
I was fortunate to have a life-changing moment at the age of 8. I’d changed schools, moving from Wales to Lancashire. I always remember being very shy. At the age of 5 I’d spent 6 weeks in hospital with virus pneumonia and 9 months off school which had a deeply traumatic effect on me. During the summer term each class would work on a country dance routine for the summer fair. On the first day of rehearsals I felt I was so hopeless I’d never be able to learn the steps so I said I was going to be on holiday on the day of the fair when I knew I wasn’t. As time went on I couldn’t escape this lie, and I so regretted not taking part that I vowed I’d never pass up an opportunity again. This led me to say “yes” to many adventures. My philosophy was that if someone asked me to do something, they obviously thought that I could – and so I would. This had a major influence on my life. I’d say yes, then sort out how I’d cope with the challenge but I never ever went back on my word. That led me to have greater confidence in myself – although I was 30 before I realised I wasn’t shy any more!
I’ve had a rewarding career, spanning over 35 years, mainly in the field of people development, building on my degree in Sociology and Psychology. People have always fascinated me and I’ve been blessed to work with so many wonderful people in business, charities and the public sector. I’ve headed up National Training teams and coached many senior executives.
Over the years I’ve studied many complementary therapies and healing modalities which have supported me in my personal journey to be Life Fit. I now work freelance supporting businesses, teams and individuals to be the best they can be.

Everyone has a song in their heart. Everyone has a reason for being here and a season for making their highest, greatest most auspicious contribution. No one knows what that is or when that is for anyone else. Only our own heart knows what and when it is for us. Your heart wants to sing. Don’t die with your music still within you. There is a reason for everything and a purpose to your life. Too many fail to listen to the song in their heart and therefore fail to find their purpose and their part. What makes your soul sing and your heart dance?
