My Story

As a highly sensitive person I have been on a personal quest to find the calm within, prioritising emotional wellbeing and making significant lifestyle changes. Over the years I have cultivated a series of mindful habits to find balance within myself and my environment. A huge part of this was simplifying my surroundings and schedules, saying ‘No’ to a faster pace and aligning with the flow of nature. These daily changes have alleviated my sensitivities and anxieties, resulting in a life filled with intention, joy and meaning.

By day I’m a Children & Families Wellbeing Coach, working to create a calmer space within the family home. This involves decluttering the environment, simplifying schedules and introducing a slow-paced rhythm. Having worked in Education for over 25 years I saw an increase in anxiety, stress & sensitivities. I felt the faster pace of modern life a contributing factor. Everyone in ‘doing’ mode, rushing from one task to the next, causing many families to feel dissatisfied, overwhelmed and stressed. The pace felt misaligned with the rhythm children need to grow and flourish. I also found too much time on devices, versus not enough time exploring the outdoors deepens the problem. So I retrained in Mindfulness, & Children’s Mental Health & Wellbeing to create The Calm Folk; a simpler way of living for Children & Adults.

By night, I’m usually finding ways to recalibrate, walking in nature, lighting candles, listening to music, reading and sipping herbal tea.

Things I like: countryside, calm spaces, candles, & cake.

Things I don’t like: crowds, clutter, & chaos
