In 2012, after 30 years, I was diagnosed with Lipoedema; this painful adipose fat disorder doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. I have osteoarthritis, fibroids, endometriosis, some permanent injuries to my shoulder and back and residual labyrinthitis.
On reaching rock bottom and unable to do weight bearing exercise, I came across Laughter Yoga. It complimented my other skills and my background in Development & Training. I use it to help with my pain and my mental health – and realised I could use it to help others find the same relief and improve their quality of life.
Since 2017 I have been an Inclusive Wellness Coach, and I also help at Lipoedema UK, with Social Media, design, articles and administration; I am a founder member of our Members Health & Wellbeing Community. I am a Connect Health Pain Champion. Helping others to find their own best self-care is my passion.
