Hello, I’m your Fairy Godmother for your everyday money and life admin
From the Kent countryside to a rambling old Charentaise farmhouse in SW France, renovation, and all, one thing has stayed constant through every move: money management is always part of the adventure.
Twenty-five years of solo living taught me how to be sensible with money, out of necessity. That same experience is now the quiet ingredient behind the life my husband and I are building together, married for the first time at fifty, because good things really do arrive in their own season!
After years of professional coaching, training and leading teams, I know one thing to be true: building a flexible home economic system genuinely takes the mental load off you and like any life skill, it can be learned.
I hold a Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health First Aid and Mental Health Advocacy in the Workplace (NCFE CACHE), and I’m Mental Health Aware certified through MHFA England.
My continued professional development includes CISI-endorsed CPD training and FinWELL Champion CPD training, alongside three decades in retail leadership including 23 years combined with Apple Inc and Gap Inc. Many of these years were in the capacity of HR and people development.
I concurrently work with FinWELL Training LTD, coaching and training employees at organisations including Moorfields NHS Trust, Devon & Cornwall Police and Hays Recruitment.
I have also been partnering with the Hays & Barnardo’s partnership called Project Flourish, helping young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds learn the basics of money management on a special pro bono project.
I have been on a guest speaking panelist at the AXA Health Webinar for Financial Wellbeing – The Impact On Mental Health with the author Will Rainy of childrens financial literature.
I was interviewed on Radio Kent as well as guest speaking on several Podcasts. My latest was Investing Insiders with the wonderful personal finance journalist Brean Horne.

🎥 Welcome to video tutorials.
I don’t know about you but when I want to learn how to do something, I like a mixture of reading it, looking at pictures and watching someone else do it. Otherwise I end up screaming at the screen, “What do you mean just turn the falange?”
So, please subscribe to these tutorials and you’ll get a little notification when there’s a new one to save you looking.
I will warn you though, film making is not my speciality…
But as life goes, I do my best!
