Creating a Life and Business on My Own Terms

I’ve always been driven to work smarter, not harder 💡. My husband Richard and I spent 2.5 years working in London, but when we had our daughter, I knew I wanted to move back home to Tasmania.

We wanted to raise our kids near family and friends and enjoy a slower pace of life 🏡—leaving behind the stress of the big city. Tasmania felt like the perfect place—a place where life is easy, the community is strong, and there’s time to truly enjoy raising a family.

After we moved, we created a six-figure online business that gave us the freedom to work from wherever we wanted 💻 and take time off when we needed it. That business ran successfully for over a decade before we sold it in 2016.

We’ve used the flexibility we built into our lives to create incredible family memories—including pulling the kids out of school for four months to live and travel across England, Scotland, and Wales ✈️. We spent a lot of that time in the beautiful Cotswolds 🌳, soaking up the freedom that our lifestyle allowed.

But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing. When I started my health coaching business in 2017, I found myself developing some bad habits—working too hard, neglecting my health, and burning myself out with 16-hour days 😩.

I wasn’t making the income I knew I could, and I wasn’t showing up for my family the way I wanted. That’s when I realised I needed to get back to what I truly wanted:

A business that gave me freedom, flexibility, and success—without sacrificing the things that matter most. ✨
