Goals Aims and Objectives

1. OCD

This has become quite a focus and passion for me to share, in the hope that it helps others who are suffering and allows family and friends to gain an insight and an understanding into it.

It is very complex and has many aspects to it. My main experiences relate to intrusive thoughts, which is something not talked about openly and yet is very common among new parents.

2. Synthetic Products

My other passion is to try and inform, limit or change the use of chemicals dispersed via products such as aerosols, cleaning agents and synthetic aromas that are used in childcare settings. This includes any setting that children are in, such as swimming centres, soft play, nurseries, toilet areas and even in our own homes.

We are not always aware of what we are using and spraying around our children, or how this may affect them, the environment they are in or what they are ingesting.

It is a controversial topic and stems from an experience in a childcare setting that inspired me to want to highlight it and change it.

My child also experiences sensitive skin, eczema and allergies, and it has become evident to me just how much products can affect her. I also experience fragrance sensitivities and allergies.

3. Holistic Therapist

I am an experienced therapist, providing complementary therapies to a range of clients over the years, including those trying to conceive and throughout pregnancy.

I also used therapies and techniques for myself before, during and after pregnancy, which I would like to share, because this was a valuable investment in my own health and wellbeing.

4. Researcher

I spend most of my time researching a wide range of subjects, usually relating to health and wellbeing. I am always eager to learn more and spend much of my spare time updating my CPD (Continuing Professional Development) profile and basically having my head in a book or online.

I enjoy being in education and attending courses, both in settings and online. I am also qualified to teach adults within the learning sector. With years of experience within my professional field, I hope that by sharing my knowledge and experiences, it may help my voice be heard.

5. Vlog

Something I have been trying to pluck up the courage to do, so I can put myself on a platform and communicate with an audience that prefers this sort of medium. I would like to discuss a wide range of topics relating to Budbaby and my G.A.O.s.

6. Experiences

I want to share my own personal experiences and talk about motherhood, as that was the initial aim, in the hope of providing an insight, offering comfort and support through my own experiences of trying to conceive, miscarriages, birth and being a mum, and all that entails for me.

7. Neurodivergence

After receiving a diagnosis of ADHD later in life, I will also be sharing my newfound knowledge and experiences. This has opened up further learning for me around ADHD, Autism and Neurodivergence, both in children and adults.

If anyone feels that they have something they may want to share or work with me on, please get in touch.
