Tina is a mum of four beautiful children - one with Downs Syndrome. She is an author, positive birth advocate and home educator. More recently she became the founder of Simply Be - supporting teenagers, helping them to find and follow their dreams.

Tina was always a deep thinker, even as a child. School felt confining and she came away disillusioned with the education system. A love of travel opened her eyes to new perspectives, and she discovered that the world was a classroom in itself. Exploring new places gave her a sense of freedom and showed her how many different ways there were to live and learn.

An interview for a courier at EuroCamp went slightly awry when she discovered she'd been given the job as children’s courier – a job she had explained she'd be no good at!

She had no idea at the time but that job would change her life forever and lead her to a love of working with children. After she met her husband she became a childminder, expanding into two nurseries as their business grew.

Helping children learn, laugh, and grow gave her a sense of purpose and joy. Each day was an adventure, and she realised how much fulfillment came from nurturing young minds.

After seventeen years of running their lovely business they wanted to see what else life had in store for them and decided to sell up.

They had no idea that it would lead to buying a pub and opening it as a community hub/pub in 2023. It was an amazing adventure and they met so many wonderful people but they both became overwhelmed by the demands and realised they needed to take a step back to breathe, reflect, and find balance.

Taking time away from the pub gave her space to reflect on her true passions. She trained as a Mindvalley coach and discovered a new calling: helping others see their own power and potential. Through coaching, she found a wonderful community of learners and teachers, and she realized she could turn her love for helping people into a fulfilling career.

She wants everyone to know that you don’t have to settle — not for jobs, relationships, or lives that don’t light you up. You are allowed to dream bigger. You can claim your own path and take control of your story.
