The Creation of Mindful Escapes

For three decades, my focus was building and growing my own companies. Through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, I eventually faced a major life transition that left me profoundly depleted. Like many, I held a long-standing belief that I should be able to handle all challenges alone.
​
However, having to get support through counselling was a turning point. It provided me with a safe place to process what had happened, free from judgment, and allowed me to gain the perspective needed to rebuild. It taught me that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
​
This powerful realisation led me to train as a counsellor and lifecoach, reinventing my professional life at 62. I am now an Accredited NCPS Counsellor and a BACP member with my own private practice as Talking Minds Counselling St Albans.​
Today, I combine my life skills and professional expertise through “Mindful Escapes” in Tuscany. Working with an amazing team of experienced counsellors and life coaches at the beautiful Villa Fontelunga, we offer a supportive environment designed to help you leave feeling energised, motivated, and recharged.
I am very excited to be working with Philip and Paolo the owners of the amazing Villa Fontelunga, on our next block of retreats in 2026.
So join me on this journey and leave feeling energised, motivated and recharged.
