My Journey
The Path to Wellness
In January 2021, my life hit rock bottom. As a professional, I struggled with imposter syndrome, burnout, anxiety, and low mood. My cluttered house added to my stress and overwhelm, and I felt little joy in life. My work-life balance was poor. For the first ten years of my son’s life, I worked full-time in health and social care while earning two degrees in Health and Welfare Studies and Social Work. I sacrificed so much to provide a secure future for my son and me.
​
Helping others has always been my passion. As a child, I cared for elderly neighbours. As a school leaver, I joined an aid mission to Romania and volunteered in England, supporting adults with disabilities to live independently. I began studying adult nursing but had to withdraw halfway through due to ill health. When I was due to resume my studies, I became pregnant, and a lack of childcare prevented me from continuing in what was my dream career. My son remains my greatest blessing in my life. When he was three months old, I escaped his violent, alcoholic, gambler father and my life started over again.
​
Leaving a secure career after 25 years was scary but working in health and social care had begun to feel heavy and out of alignment. Trusting my intuition, I set up my wellbeing business, Lighten The Load, rediscovering my joy. Laughter Yoga, decluttering, and Access Bars® changed my life, and I continue to add new modalities to better serve my clients.
Today, I am thrilled to support professionals, groups, and workplaces. Every day, I wake up excited and grateful for the life I live. How does it get better than this?
