My name is Julie Tooke and I began my own personal journey 5 years ago. I have now started my own company offering self-discovery breaks for women.
Women are the greatest nurturers and give to all. Who takes care and nurtures us especially when life becomes difficult?
I wanted to offer a self-discovery break that signposts you to self-awareness and improvement.
In my working life I have a banking and predominantly sales and marketing background and I am also a qualified Remedial Massage therapist.
I was married at 30 years old, had my daughter at 35 and divorced at 37.
I found myself treading through treacle in rented accommodation and I was then made redundant from my well paid part-time job...now I had no money to add to the list. Oh happy days!
I desperately needed time out, but I had nowhere to go on holiday. I needed to feel safe and nurtured and I wanted space to lick my wounds.
From the days of being a single mum I always wanted to do something just for women, something that gives women time to find themselves again, equip them with tools and provide encouragement to help increase self-esteem and self-confidence. That in a nutshell is how the seed was sown!
I personally endorse the integrity and professionalism of these inspirational ladies. Through their help I now have greater self-belief and more self-confidence and I also enjoy good health with more vibrant energy.
Happily things are much improved now and I even married again. I realise how important it is to make time for myself, without feeling guilty, and I have learned how to enjoy each and every day.
