If we were sitting together over a lukewarm coffee (because… life), I’d tell you this first: I see you. Not in a polite, surface-level way—but in the I’ve lived this way.

​

I’m Lauren—wife, mum of three, coffee lover, unapologetic book hoarder, and once a woman who looked put-together on the outside while feeling completely overwhelmed on the inside.

​

Our family has walked through a lot: deep loss, moving countries, depression, illness, tight finances, and the beautiful chaos of a multicultural life. After nearly a decade living in South Africa, we’re now transitioning to the Algarve, Portugal—carrying with us the rhythms, lessons, and resilience shaped through those years.

​

Everything changed for me in early 2024 when I received a cancer diagnosis. Eighteen months of treatment—including cold UVB sessions where I stood alone in silence with red glasses and far too much time to think—became the unexpected pause that brought everything to the surface.

​

In that stillness, prayer became my anchor and Jesus my steady place. My faith didn’t simply support my healing—it carried me through it.

​

That season forced me to confront how deeply I’d been surviving rather than living. I was overwhelmed, juggling more responsibility than my body and mind could sustain—none of which could be dropped. I was exhausted, depleted, and running on empty. No energy. No joy. Just pushing through and hoping for relief. I longed for space to breathe and a life that felt lighter and steadier.

​

And maybe that’s where you find yourself too—overwhelmed, stretched thin, quietly longing for a calmer, more intentional life, but too exhausted to know where to begin.

​

I understand, because I started there.

​

My healing began with micro-habits—small, sustainable shifts in sleep, nourishment, movement, mindset, and low-tox living. Nothing extreme. No rigid routines. Just gentle, realistic changes that slowly rebuilt my energy, steadied my nervous system, and helped me feel like myself again.

 

Today, drawing on both lived experience and professional training,

I support overwhelmed mums and women in high-responsibility seasons to do the same—restoring energy, supporting hormones, reducing toxic load, nourishing their bodies simply, and creating rhythms that work within real life.

 

All of my work is offered online, supporting women across the UK and Europe in building steadiness, calm, and capacity in the middle of full, demanding lives.

​

You don’t need a crisis like mine to begin.
You just need a place to start—and someone who truly understands.

​

I’m so glad you’re here.
