## TL;DR
- I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years, starting in fitness and moving into women’s health and wellness.
- I’m from Wrexham in North Wales. I’m mum to Dexter and Morgan, married to James, and Lola is my baby girl.
- I’m highly sensitive, an introvert, an obsessive note taker and a research geek.
- I swear lots and lots, so maybe stick some headphones on if little ones are around.

> So a little bit about me, if we haven’t met before. I am a women’s health and wellness coach. I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years. I started out as a fitness instructor, went into classes and personal training and massage. And it’s just evolved along the way.
>
> I went into biomechanics and realised that I was seeing a lot of women in pain, especially in their 40s and 50s, and realised there was a hormonal connection with that.
>
> That’s why I’ve moved more into women’s health—or women’s wellness, which I think is a better term for it.
>
> So I am from Wrexham in North Wales. Thanks to Rob and Ryan, most people now have a little bit of an idea where Wrexham is.
>
> I am mum to Dexter and Morgan, and I’ve been married to James for 19 years. We’ve been together since high school. We were 15 when we got together 26 years ago.
>
> I am highly sensitive. I’m an introvert. I’m an obsessive note taker. I’m a research geek. I have to research everything.
>
> I recently discovered I am neurodivergent after somebody who follows me on Facebook pointed it out. And I went, oh, yes. OK. Yeah, I probably am autistic. I’ve researched it, but I haven’t been tested. But I think that’s pretty much the case.
>
> And I swear lots and lots. So if you are watching this with little ones around, please maybe stick some headphones on. Things do slip out, as they usually do.
>
> That is my baby girl, by the way. She is a Rottweiler–Doberman cross, her name’s Lola and she’s my baby girl. And she’s asleep on the sofa at the moment next to me.
