About Us…

My name is Theresa and my initial profession was as a qualified NNEB nursery nurse, working as a Nanny and also as a Nursery Manager for a while, so caring was always my strength, which was followed by Face Painter and Market Trader as well as an Online Trader and finally a Reiki Master, not to mention having 4 children of my own, so fairly varied!

My Holistic Wellbeing has come about due to a long standing interest and in fact passion for preventing, curing, soothing and just down right enjoying myself with holistic remedies ever since I was very young.  My medicine chest was always more natural than not, with Tea Tree being right up there as a number one healing tool for just about everything!  My Dad would point out bushes and plants and tell us which ones we could eat and what they were, which really resonated with me as well, so I am extremely interested in foraging and creating my own remedies as well as eating for free! 

I have also been on the other end of the scale concerning less natural healing, mainly to do with my skin problems, which involved all sorts of steroid creams and ointments of various strengths, including off the scale strong ones.  Mainly I resorted to these through sheer desperation and the fact that I had to get on with my life and work and take my children to school etc, and as I was actually very self conscious this was extremely difficult for me, especially when people always looked a bit pityingly at me, as nice as they were.  I didn’t like using these things but I felt I had to somehow.

This sent me off on a journey to find better ways to heal the mind the body and soul, with much more gentle solutions.  So this is what I do now, with my online holistic website and with the support of my husband and family.  We started ‘eightlife’ 6 years ago now as a way of highlighting alternative ways of balancing and soothing the body as well as improving sleep and much more.  

As life has a way of doing we encountered several challenges along our route, but we are still here!  We wish to now supplement the next step of this beautiful journey with the evolution of My Holistic Wellness, to allow greater exploration with more in depth detail on subjects of interest and products that are becoming much more prominent now, as a way of going back to more natural ways of healing.

With My Holistic Wellness our endeavour is to keep on bringing new, interesting and exciting products to your attention and giving a fair appraisal of them for you to make your own decisions on whether you would like to try them yourself.  

We hope and would love you to continue to travel with us on this journey, thank you for reading.
