Leah

Leah has a generalised anxiety disorder and periods of depression and has overcome many of the symptoms this last year simply by listening to her own needs. Leah has worked in post-compulsory education for 12 years; 5 years teaching and in-class support and 7 years providing academic support in the Library for students that are struggling with the pressure of college. Her biggest focus over this period has been to empower learners with the skills to improve their mindset and develop coping strategies that will serve them after they leave education.

We have found our way to realising that although each person’s journey to wellness is unique, the tools you can use along the way are simple and make so much sense.

We just want to help others live full, enriched lives with confidence and intention.

Who Are We?

Sophie

Many of you may already know me but my name is Sophie. I have worked nearly 13 years in care followed by 3 years as a qualified nurse. I currently work in Rowans Hospice in Hampshire and am pleased to have been able to accept a voluntary role as Director for Zala wellbeing.

I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes to their health and well-being in order to better care for their own body, mind and spirit. To have the opportunity to work for a company that can help guide people towards a more holistic and happy way of life is an honour. Zala wellbeing creates an opportunity for each and every one of its members to not only learn how to care for themselves holistically but also gives them the opportunity to share that knowledge with their community and their children and together we can work towards a healthier, happier lifestyle and a better quality of life for everyone. 

Gemma

Hi, my name is Gemma and I’m a psychologist. Firstly, I would like to apologise for the lack of photo and personal info here, I work with vulnerable people, and so to ensure that there is no conflict of interest with my role, I have asked to remain anonymous.

I was so excited when I was asked to be a part of this, I feel I have been an observer of this company since its early days, and have seen some of the great things that Zara and Leah have done. I feel that there are so many factors involved with well-being that sometimes we need more holistic approaches.

I know that life is getting harder for most people, there are so many societal issues today, and so many people are living through difficult experiences. That is why it is important to find connection with other people, do things that give us a sense of meaning, allow us the time to focus on ourselves and just enjoy ourselves when we can. I think Zala Wellbeing allows the opportunity for this. I look forward to being more involved and feel so honoured to be joining this team
