Who I am.
Firstly, I'd like to thank you so much for checking out my Relax Kids profile. Here is a little bit about me. Believe it or not my background was in TV, film and broadcasting up until I had my two daughters, when I found that it was very stressful, working long hours and hated missing out on so many special moments with them. I wanted a positive change that would make a difference to my life, my family life and the lives of others. I left UTV and started my search. My husband who had also worked as an Editor in UTV left and retrained as a Hypnotherapist, he was making real differences to peoples mental health and well-being, I wanted to do the same, and hearing very scary statistics that 1 in every 8 children in Northern where suffering from a mental health condition I knew instantly what I wanted to do. Thats when I found Relax Kids, I trained as a coach in 2016 and soon after we both opened our own premises in the bustling area of Ballyhackamore, East Belfast. 6 years on i'm very proud to say that I'm the longest running coach in the Belfast area and that I've delivered the truly AMAZING Relax Kids programme to over 10,000 children and young people.
