37 years old, she/her.

Based in Surrey, UK (my son goes to school where The Holiday was filmed, so you can imagine!). We live 1/3 of the year in Italy. I run a global platform for couples planning Italian weddings and plan gorgeous Italian weddings.

In 2008 my life changed forever when I discovered I had two life affecting diseases: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DC). I knew something was wrong with my ‘tummy’ from a young age and in my latter teenage years the symptoms worsened. I was told repeatedly for years I had IBS and then finally after going private for a quick consultation was given a colonoscopy and diagnosed.

In the same year after my brother was very poorly I was tested and diagnosed with DC, a heart condition. This is a genetic condition due to a gene defect that my mum, brother and I have. At that point in my life I was a marathon runner and enthusiast and had to drastically change my lifestyle to stay well. You can read more about that in my old blog.

I’m a very proactive, positive person. I’m a deep empath and have an incredible intuition. I have always felt everything very strongly and this is a super power within my body, I always know how I am. Throughout my life I have tried to best manage my lifestyle to ‘keep my diseases happy’, as I put it. Through The Healing Conversation I will detail more of those lifestyle choices and the tiny nuances of my experiences in an effort to help others who may benefit from learning about the best decisions I’ve made and the mistakes I’ve made along the way.
