This philosophy really resonated with me during my training as a wellness coach, and since I’d been working as a travel guide for over 28 years, it seemed natural to flow into becoming a wellness guide as well.  

Thrive Wellness Journeys was born after travel came to a screetching halt in 2020. 

To tell you the truth, I was already saturated by over-tourism and ready to make some major shifts towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for myself and be of inspiration to others.

My area of expertise is accompanying groups of people primarily around Spain and Portugal, with some international trips.  This includes incentive travel, conferences and congresses as well as leading and designing transformational retreats.

While the geographical area I’m focusing on has become reduced to lovely, gorgeous, beautiful and unique Andalucía,  other aspects of my life have expanded immensely.  

Thrive Wellness Journeys is a fusion of my passion for travel and love of wellbeing. It’s my response to over-tourism and the very unhealthy world we are living in, as well as my own personal road to recovery.

In my free time I love to make pottery, upcyle things I find or have collected, make macramé... anything that will keep my fingers twiddling.

Despite being kicked out of my school choir and made to believe I'm not musical, I've taken up the challenge to disprove this limiting self-belief... . so I play the handpan, flute and chant...   my goal is to enjoy the sounds of the music I make! 

Who knows, I may one day make a public appearance!

I love water, so I scuba dive, do canyoning in the hot summer months and frequently go to the beach with my dog Lucy and walk barefoot and free after a good dip in the Med.
