For years, I lived life at full speed—juggling responsibilities, chasing success, and pushing through exhaustion and chronic illness without a second thought on true impact it was having on my body, mind and soul. 

 

But everything changed when I was diagnosed with a brain condition. What I once took for granted—clarity of thought, physical strength, and simple daily tasks—became overwhelming challenges. The journey through rehabilitation seems to still be long and uncertain, forcing me to slow down, regroup, grieve and truly listen to my body for the first time.

 

At first, I resisted. I longed for my old life, the constant motion, gratification of success and productivity. But as I worked through recovery, I discovered something unexpected: healing comes in stillness, in balance, and in intentional moments of peace. I learned that wellness isn’t just about physical health—it’s about creating an environment that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.

 

This realisation led to the birth of Notes From Number Five a brand dedicated to promoting balance, healing, and tranquility. Whether through aromatherapy, wellness products, or mindful living practices, I wanted combine all of this to create something that would help others find the peace I had fought so hard to achieve.

 

My business isn’t just about selling products—it’s about a lifestyle shift, a personal commitment to slowing down, embracing calm, and making space for true well-being, ultimately creating time for You. I know what it’s like to feel lost in the struggle, but I also know that healing is possible in whatever form this may look like. My mission is to help others find their own path to peace—one breath, one moment, and one intentional choice at a time, ultimately finding the peace we all yearn for. I am still learning, not every choice made is perfect..but hey who is?!

 

Someone once told me “if you don’t make time for wellness you’d better make time for illness "How ironic?! 

 

This is way more than a business; it’s my journey. And I hope it becomes part of yours, too.

 

Much Love & Gentle Hugs
