It is my purpose in life to encourage and support people who have a desire to improve their self-worth, and confidence and therefore make positive changes in life.

I use many methods to assist in positive change as a qualified life coach with worksheet based courses, personal course creation, client lead appointments, public speaking, events and specially composed music. I have lived my life in love with music, becoming an internationally professional musician and coach. I have been through my own incredible journey and have professionalism, pride in my large persona, authenticity and empathy. I am as passionate about people as I am about learning about people, behaviours and the brain (Very nerdy). With humour, a light heart and positive energy I have set my sites in making a difference to people I meet not only as clients but total strangers too. Our services are growing all the time, with new and positive results. Take a step forward with me and we may be able to permanently find the authentic awesome and amazing attributes that need to shine brighter.

Born in July 1973, just six minutes after my twin sister 'Jennifer Anne Scott' . My twin sister and I have always been very close, and that extended to our past times and job choices as well. Being identical twins, meant that we had similar tastes and when we were together, we seemed to be unstoppable. Our careers started in Customer Service based roles, either in Retail or financial services. We then went on to become Ofsted Registered Childminders. Unfortunately, the Covid outbreak in 2021/2022, saw me close my business and return to retail, where I worked as a part time shop assistant, in a job that I very much loved.​ Everything changed when my darling sister passed away on 24th October 2022, after a long, brave fight against Cancer, that spanned 13 years. With her passing, there was relief that she was no longer in pain or suffering. However, the pain that I began suffering was unbearable. I felt like half of me had been ripped away and I still do. ​ Through my grief and sadness, I found Essential Oils, and then Aromatherapy. I had a newly discovered drive and ambition, to learn whatever I could and to be 'reborn' in every way possible. Whilst embarking on this new journey, I discovered BSY - The British School of Yoga, and through them, I found the Advanced Aromatherapy course that would change my life more than I ever thought possible.

The Chiropractic Association of Ireland (CAI) is the only national organisation to insist that its members are trained to the highest educational standards and only graduates of ECCE/CCE/CCEI/ACCE* accredited institutions are permitted to join the association. The CAI is the only Irish chiropractic association to be a full member of the European Chiropractors’ Union and the World Federation of Chiropractic. Membership ensures that chiropractic in Ireland is represented at the highest level. So that the public can be assured of high standards of professionalism and conduct, CAI members are required to comply with a strict code of practice and continued professional development. In the trained hands of CAI chiropractors, patients can expect a comprehensive approach to the assessment, diagnosis and management of neuromusculoskeletal disorders. As specialist providers of bone and joint care, CAI chiropractors use their detailed knowledge to assess the impact of spinal and joint dysfunction on the nervous system and on general health. Chiropractic has a tradition of effectiveness and patient satisfaction without the use of drugs or surgery. CAI chiropractors are experts in spinal adjustment and also utilise a range of other techniques such as exercise recommendations, nutritional support and lifestyle advice. They are wholistic in their approach, which means they look at the whole body; not just where the symptoms may appear. As primary health care practitioners a medical referral isn’t necessary before seeing a CAI chiropractor, although increasingly people are referred to CAI chiropractors through their GP. Chiropractic’s excellent track record in patient safety and assuring patient satisfaction means that more patients than ever are seeking CAI chiropractors for their healthcare needs. Most major health insurers cover chiropractic care, when provided by a CAI Chiropractor, but please check with your provider for any terms associated with your particular policy. *European Council on Chiropractic Education/Council on Chiropractic Education/Council on Chiropractic Education International/Australasian Council on Chiropractic Education.

In my previous life living in the fast-paced London corporate I used my love of dancing, yoga and music to let off steam whenever I could. A diagnosis of breast cancer on my 40th birthday changed my life dramatically, but my love for movement never died. It was during my recovery that I followed a life long dream to study Dance Movement Pyschotherapy as well as yoga teacher training to strengthen my previous children’s yoga, dance and meditation experience. Five years on and now living in Ibiza I wholeheartedly believe that all my training has had a big part to play in my recovery and working with my own inner child has made me realise how important it is to a provide safe, fun environment where children can learn, express themselves and find joy in movement. It was this that led me to create the Supercala concept combining yoga, dance, mindfulness, massage and other fun things to lighten up everyone’s inner child.
