I have been married for 32 years, have 3 grown up children – and have a passion for sharing what I have learnt on my own journey – that we can all learn to be more present, more connected to ourselves & others – we can learn the skills of slowing down, tuning in and responding with kindness to life’s inevitable ups & downs.
