Hi, I’m Jane
I live in a beautiful part of Devon with my lovely Welsh Spaniel called Belle and my husband.  Belle becomes a regular feature on my blogs so I hope you will ready about her soon.  I am the massively proud mother of my grown-up son, Martyn who is a qualified fitness trainer. Over the years, life’s changes have brought me to a place in my career where I help people and also their organisations to be the best they can.
My early corporate London based career in the 1980s was a tough place for the young female professional wanting to climb the ladder.  Commitment to work was paramount – we worked hard, and we played hard.

Major heart surgery in 1990 made me reassess my life.  I have never believed in compromise and once I started a family, I wanted it ALL.  I wanted the career, wanted to make a difference, be a great mother, and enjoy a good work-life balance.  I have always believed this is possible and I realise now that my life choices have gradually allowed me move closer to finding that sweet spot.
I wanted to help people to be their best.  Over the following years, I became a successful slimming consultant, tripling my turnover in 18 months.  However, diets alone don’t work, but, healthy nutrition and lifestyle does.

I developed my interest in complementary therapy and trained as a Reflexologist, building my own business which I called Feel Better Naturally, and wrote a weekly newspaper column to tell people about the benefits of Reflexology.  I learnt about NLP to build my skills when working with clients.
​
I juggled motherhood with running my own business and by chance started to work in the charity sector.  I am proud that I have made a massive difference to the those in need by raising over £27 million through the charities I have worked for and the teams I have led.

I believe that you cannot be happy with your work if you are unhappy with yourself and you cannot be happy with yourself if you are unhappy with work.  Life weaves an interesting pattern and now I bind together the threads of my business experience with Feel Better Naturally to bring you;
  • Coaching for businesses and charities
  • Life Coaching – particularly focussed on our Middle Years
  • Supporting charities and social enterprises to become financially sustainable
