A little about us.. I have 2 boys, 19 and 3 and my youngest is my beautiful daughter Amelie Mia who is 22 months and who I have created AmMia for (the Am stands for And Mummy).
Amelie was diagnosed at birth with Down syndrome that devastated us all. Thankfully I think I’m coming to the end of the grieving process which I now know is quite normal but hadn’t at the time.
I knew I had to do something to distract my thoughts spiralling out of control so I started crocheting baby blankets in July 2018 for baby twins that have since arrived safely. It was then when I came up with AmMia and a logo in my head and my wonderful patient loving husband who made it a reality and I started crocheting what I hope are pretty things just like my daughter.
At the moment we make anything crochet and knitted from keyrings to bookmarks, baby blankets, Christmas decorations and beautiful newborn photography props.
AmMia I hope is my daughters future in whichever format and interest she wants. I will continue to learn new things to teach her. I have plans for exciting new products soon that are completely different to crochet but inspired by her. 20% of all profits are donated to North Down and Ards Down syndrome support group and the rest set aside for my baby girl.
In the future I would really love AmMia to be a drop in centre for parents, children with Down syndrome and siblings to hang out, chat, do crafts , have fun and just be. I strongly believe this needs to be connected with the trust as we left the hospital shell shocked with a print out and no support. Hopefully one day this dream will become true.
I have planted the seed and will do everything I can for AmMia to grow and ask that you help us to with every like, share and comment.
Love Amelie and mummy x

Bronagh Duffin is the owner of Bakehouse – Below is her story:
For as long as I can remember my life has always been about food. My first cookery book was Delia Smiths Complete Cookery Course and as I child I read it cover to cover before I went to sleep dreaming of how I would love to cook these amazing dishes. I believe such strong memories are associated with food that it is so important. It has the power to nourish the body and mind and transport us to a place of contentment and happiness.
One of my favourite memories is of me as a child eating my Grannies freshly baked scones, dripping in butter and feeling happy and safe at that time. For me food heals and comforts in so many ways whether it’s through selecting ingredients, cooking it for those you love or eating it and for that reason I never want to stop learning about new ingredients, recipes and ways to teach people to love it as much as I do.
My desire is to cook delicious, simple and home-made food. This website is how I reflect my love for food and whether it be recipes, classes, parties or stunning celebration cakes I want to help others to enjoy cooking and eating delicious food. I hope you enjoy it and that you find something which interests you.

My name is Franchine, I am the creator of BelleBee by Franchine – an organic face balm that cleanses, moisturises, nourishes, exfoliates and treats the skin, all from one small pot!
My journey into developing organic products was initially an entirely egoistic project – my skin reacted badly to menopausal changes and failed to improve with shop bought products. After extensive research into the benefits of plant based oils I carefully selected a range of oils and butters known for treating the skin without blocking pores.
BelleBee is an honest skincare product; a unique blend of ingredients that are pure, organic and have been used traditionally around the world for centuries for their ability to heal and nourish.
I had a strong believe in the power of nature – we can have great looking skin no matter what age we are, as long as we choose the right products and adopt a good daily skin care routine. BelleBee has dramatically simplified my routine as it cleanses (even waterproof mascara), moisturises, treats, soothes and protects. An excellent multi-purpose balm that can also be used on dry skin on the feet, elbows, hands etc

Hi, I’m Elaine I run CVFriends Ltd an online CV Writing Company, I work full time in a leadership role, finally I am a Mum to two amazing boys!
The most challenging experience in my career was returning to work after maternity leave. I felt isolated and out of touch, the organisation had moved forward, and I had changed. I was out of a business and strategic role for 8 months with my life being a whirlwind of bottles, winding, nappies and sleeping. It took time to reintegrate back into the corporate world and regain a career focus, I realised my career approach had to change. Prior to the arrival of my first son I would work at home in the evenings regularly with my sons I was unable to continue to do this and I found myself feeling guilty if I did work at night and guilty if I didn’t. It took a couple of years and a new extremely understanding and flexible boss before I was comfortable managing my career and home life.
I have a successful CV Writing Company called CVFriends Ltd, however I enjoy teaching and supporting people to write their own CVs rather than writing it for them. I think this is a more sustainable model for my customers, and I get significantly more job satisfaction from this. I have therefore developed Careering Mums alongisde CVFriends Ltd. This is where I will deliver online training related to confidence building, re-entering the workplace mindset, CV Writing, Interview Skills and Career Coaching. I want to be able to support other women to reintegrate themselves to the workplace, to have an excellent CV that demonstrates their achievements and potential, to have the confidence to sit in interviews and sell themselves, to re-build or re-enter a successful career fulfilling their ambitions.

“With subjects as varied as the professional and personal history that brought her to where she is today, Cathy Dempster provides a unique range of skills and vision when it comes to photography. Ever since a camera was thrust into her hands at the age of 9, Cathy has documented the various paths she has taken in life, paths that have led to her becoming a professional photographer.
Cathy takes her influences from a wider spectrum, not simply the world of photography. Using the notion of capturing what she loves as a starting point, she has photographed a wide range of her musical heroes ranging from Pat McManus and Horslips right through to Seasick Steve. While many of her images are inspired by quiet, rural Co Tyrone, she also has developed a love for urban exploration, with her artist’s eye seeing the beauty and emotional responses abandoned and derelict buildings can evoke. Cathy is currently organising a solo exhibition of such work entitled “Memories on the Landscape – Empty Whispers” which, in this time of economic hardship, reflects the zeitgeist.
Outside of capturing rural and urban scenery, much of which fits neatly into fine art, Cathy has extensive experience of fashion shoots and directing models, eschewing cliche to create classic results. She also specializes in hand-tinting photographs, one of her favorite techniques. This allows her to take even the most basic of images and personalize it, creating a unique product for every individual.
Cathy’s sociable and friendly personality, backed with a steely professionalism and quest for perfection, also makes her an ideal wedding photographer. Again her eye for detail and the unusual will ensure the happy couple can have a unique and well-crafted permanent record of one of the most important days of their lives.

After being made redundant for the second time, I decided it was time to go self employed so my future was in my own hands. Going from a managerial role in a predominantly male environment I decided to educate myself in something completely different. In February 2018 I started studying for my CeMap exams (basically mortgage and protection advice). At this stage I was working full time and had a 3 year old, a 20 month old and a husband! By July I had passed all 3 exams and even took on an additional one and passed.

I guess this is the start of our new book, while our first journey is still unfolding. Petite Props by AmMia is our new venture as a newborn and baby prop vendor and a continuation from the growth and support many have shown us. If you haven’t read our story of how AmMia was born, you can find it here http://www.facebook.com/AmMia/
From our new beginnings.. A local business woman, now friend invited me to join a Mums at Work Networking Group by Sinead Norton. It is full of such strong business women that I initially felt a bit of a fraud but gradually I felt my confidence grow as I was learning and being supported by other woman. It was in this group that I meet Morgan Bonel from Morgan Bonel Photography based in Sligo (http://morganbonel-photography.com/). We started chatting generally and as the conversation progressed she asked would I be able to make a small bear. I have been making props since, my product range growing, but that first bear, will always be very special.
Morgan, who I very much class a friend and an amazing photographer has been so supportive with her time and knowledge with all the advice she has given me, gave me the motivation and encouragement to become a newborn and baby prop vendor, something that I had never given considered or dreamt of but I very much love. The thrill of seeing stunning photographs with props that I have created is such an amazing feeling. Its funny how life can lead you down a path you hadn’t intended but feel I am exactly where I should be. I wouldn’t be here without Mums at Work, Morgan and each and everyone of you for supporting us.
Petite Props by AmMia is still very much in its infancy, but we have our online shop up and running with lots more to come (http://Petitepropsbyammia.bigcartel.com). As AmMia, 20% of all profits are donated to North Down and Ards Down Syndrome Support Group, the rest set aside for my little ceo x

I just wanted a tea and cinnamon bun, but when I saw the lovely little shop that was up for rent, I thought – what the heck, why not?! – I have a full time job as a Creative Director for a health supplements wholesaler, and to be honest hadn’t really thought out the whole opening and running a shop thing in much detail – other than, Im sure Im capable of doing this…lol.
Had to spend the next 6 weeks trying to source stock, its been such fun, Ive spent endless days and nights at auctions, markets and trade shows, gone to Paris and Spain to buy stock, brought a lot home in suitcases, shipped the rest. The people who have helped out have been as crazy as me, and I couldn’t have done it without them ( and the biggest thanks to my partner, Guy!)
Make a business plan they said – yes, yes, I will get round to it said I. In the meantime collated stock consisting of antiques, vintage, retro, old and new. Tried and tested delicious edibles ( I did say this was fun) – raided my mums house for more stock (she’s such a hoarder!) The local business people helped out too, and on the day the shop finally opened they came round to give us flowers and cards.
Where do I see Dandy Lion going as a business venture – well thats really up to you all, and I hope you adore the little shop as much as I do….please do call in and say hello, you might just not expect to find the things you do!

Jo-Ann Smyth is an experienced Graphic Designer from Lurgan who specialises in the design of marketing materials required for business needs.
I am passionate about delivering creative led, graphic design concepts to my clients – concepts which successfully interpret a design brief into innovative visuals. I believe that building client relationships is paramount from the outset of a project.

My client base ranges from public sector agencies to private businesses, schools, community & sports clubs. The brand ethos of Evolution is ‘keeping up with the changing trends of design and technology’ and I feel that I can tailor my skills to anything from corporate literature, magazines and press adverts to digital services, livery branding and window graphics and much more! I also manage the outsourcing of additional services such as photography, illustration, print and pre-press to meet the requirements of a project so all in all, Evolution can be a one-stop shop!

I am a mummy to Jude, Ollie, Jesse & Cole and wife to Paul. I worked in Event Management and PR for many years and absolutely loved it. I loved the buzz of events and I really enjoyed seeing how the profile of the business was being built, all over the world, from my PR efforts. But I needed more. I no longer felt challenged and after illness struck in 2016, I took the plunge and decided to retrain in Personal Styling, image consultancy and colour analysis. The London based training was extremely intense. Many people think a personal stylist is just someone who likes clothes. Liking clothes helps but it is a much more technical skill. The business keeps going from strength to strength and I have met some truly incredible women. I count myself so lucky. I often talk about how women evolve and their own unique personal journey but Evolve has set me on a path of self discovery too.

Having worked in mainstream gyms part time and full time as a newspaper reporter, life was pretty hectic.
With two young children and even as a trainer the pressure of stepping on to a mainstream gym was extremely intense.
So I took a step back , liaised with both business mentors, my mother with her medical background ( she’s a cancer specialist) and looked for the niche between mainstream gyms and ultimately hospital.
Exhale was born , a private custom built studio that’s entirely private and discreet.
I completed my courses in gp referral and clinical nutrition to help people from every walk of life.
This is a safe space where clients feel they can connect and I can chat to them on a deeper level to get to the root of issues around lifestyle and food.
It also allows me time to write at my own pace in the evenings as working in such a calm environment allows for this.
As a single parent this allows me the luxury of being there when the kids get home and they understand the boundaries between work and respect that.
I have my disaster days like every mum, and although it can be scary when money is short, the rich experience of helping clients to their full potential and being there for my kids far outweighs my bank balance

She says, “As a designer I enjoy design, making and combining colours and textures. Hap Sensory Blankets are a hand-made product, knit using a variety of materials. The pressure from a weighted blanket actually affects the brain, causing it to release neuro-transmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which improve mood and induce a calming effect, the individual has the sensation of a ‘hug’ and this relaxing effect. Weighted therapy blankets are suitable for a child on autistic spectrum, with adhd, anxiety and a wide range of sensory conditions. Sensory blankets for adults can be used for a huge range of health issues such as Insomnia, Anxiety, depression, those on Autistic Spectrum, Parkinson’s. Weighted products are not suitable for anyone with Respiratory or Circulatory health issues without clearance from Doctor.
Hap Sensory match the colour, texture and sensory requirements of each Client and Sensory therapy blankets are matched to (5 to 10%) a person’s body weight, typically 15 to 30 pounds weight for an adult.

Hi I am Johanna, a wife & mother to three little ones. Forever a Donegal girl now living in the heart of Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland. As a business owner working around my family I am used to walking the fine line between trying to find balance between business success and being a good wife and mummy to the rest of Team Scullion. It is not always easy, we all try to do too much. We think we can do it all ourselves. We think we will look weak if we ask for help. But I am here to say please ask me to help with your HR, because I really can make a difference.
WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TALK ABOUT HR?
In my professional life I am a Chartered MCIPD HR & Business Consultant with 20 years experience of helping businesses of all sizes and in all sectors manage their people. I have worked across private, public and voluntary sectors; across consulting houses (including Big4 and top10), lectured in university for 10 of those years and since 2012 I have been running my own boutique HR consultancy here in Northern Ireland.
I fell in love with owner managed businesses very early in my career. I love the passion and drive you have for your business and the work that you do. I passionately believe that good HR is not just for large businesses, it is for every business no matter how small, unique or niche whether you have one employee or one thousand, you deserve good HR. More than anything I believe that the best HR is informal HR, where business owners and managers talk to their staff on a daily basis. When wins are celebrated and losses are seen as a learning opportunity not a failure. However, there are times when businesses need to turn to more formal HR techniques, managing probation, dealing with a grievance allegation, investigating a disciplinary case. I want to empower you to have the confidence to use formal HR when necessary without being afraid or uncertain. I want to ensure that you know exactly what to do, what documents you need, be aware in advance of potential challenges that may arise and be ready to manage your HR with the same confidence you sell your favourite product to a new customer.

Hello my name is Sharon Kerr and I work from home in Glengormley creating faux floral gift arrangements, my business is called Poise and Presents. Although my business operates online from Facebook and Instagram, I don’t operate from commercial premises but I have collection points within the Newtownabbey and Greater Belfast areas. My most popular arrangements to date have been my unique bespoke wrist corsages and button holes. Wrist corsages are primarily but not exclusively linked to school formals. I create wrist corsages for various occasions such as to compliment your outfit if attending a wedding, gala dinner dance, day at the races, fashion show, to compliment your gown if you are off on a cruise and for your bridesmaids. I like to create pieces of art that you can wear to compliment and not overpower your outfit of choice. Attention to detail is paramount to me and I won’t compromise on quality. Attention to detail is something customers have complimented me on and has been one of the unique selling points that have brought me repeat business and recommendation. When creating button holes and ladies spray I like to create something unique and bespoke that can be used time and time again. You can view a small selection of my corsages at The Sassy Boutique located on the Lisburn Road in Belfast, The Dainty Doll Boutique & Balmoral Dress Hire located on the Upper Lisburn Road in Belfast, the Bridal Elegance Boutique located in Larne and at the Urban Hair Company Salon located here in Glengormley.
Besides the aforementioned arrangements, I like to create gift arrangements that the recipient will remember you and the occasion for. One idea that I had was to create unique faux flower arrangements incorporating vintage handbags. The benefit to this arrangement is a ‘one-off’ statement piece that can be a vocal point in the home and a conversation starter .
Although my wedding was over 20 years ago, I remember how expensive wedding cakes were and indeed are today. It takes great skill to create the perfect wedding cake and the remuneration is justified, but not all couples can afford to purchase such beautiful cakes. For that reason, I wanted to create beautiful dummy cake tiers that are affordable and help couples have some of the vow factor their tight budget cannot stretch to.
Since I started Poise and Presents I’ve had a lot of enquiries for bridal/wedding items and this is something I’m working on over the coming months. I have created a couple of faux flower hair pieces and a bridal bouquet all of which have brought great feedback.
There are two things that are central to my business; attention to detail and great customer service, I’m pleased to say that those are 2 key comments from my customers. I am self-taught in what I do, but I’m pleased to say that some of that artistic flair is genetic with both my maternal and paternal families having worked in creative industries for generations. I do know my limitations and I won’t over promise and under deliver, if I cannot create for you what you would like I’ll certainly do my best to help you find someone who will. If you’d like a little inspiration, take time with a cup of tea/coffee and browse through the photo gallery on my Facebook page I hope you enjoy.

I trained in floristry over 8yrs age here in Ireland but always just did flowers for family and friends given that I had a ‘job’ working in sales/marketing. I started my career with Coca Cola in a merchandising role and progressed through the sales ranks to account manager responsible for 70% of the volume going through the channel.
When I turned 30 I moved to Yellow Pages as a sales consultant and stayed with Yell for 10 years during which time I had 4 children. After taking voluntary redundancy I did a spell at Greer Publications managing the Ulster Grocer magazine covering maternity leave, then I went to U105 as a sales consultant full time although I found the full time impossible with a husband working in Dublin and 4 young children.
After U105 I worked part time in a number of sales/marketing/training roles but nothing really made my heart sing. After my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in February this year I decided to take my love for flowers to the next level. I decided to set up a studio at the house and in June/July I set up Lily Rose Floral Designs.
My daughter is Lily Rose hence the name and it’s very much a family affair – this Christmas the children helped with Fayres donning their uniforms and my youngest son happily wears his Lily Rose Floral Designs coat to school daily. Into the mix we recently added a pup – Bella so I negotiate a new business, 4 children, house, school, cat and a new pup
In terms of the business I do all things floral and this Christmas have decorated homes and businesses which is an area I would like to build

We want to help you feel free to get the most out of life by getting out into it with confidence.
We want you to enjoy our luxury safe tan that enhances the natural you, helps to conceal imperfections and makes you feel good.
With our 3 step ritual, we want to encourage you to take some time to look after yourself with the confidence of a great result. Not to fit with convention but to enhance who you are.
OUR LUSSO TAN 3 STEP RITUAL
To perfect your tan it takes more than just coating yourself in a tan lotion. Consider your make up application, would you expect a perfect look by applying foundation without a moisturiser beforehand or some blusher or bronzer afterwards?
For the best result your tan should start with primed skin, followed by a great natural looking tan shade and then for that final dimension add highlight, contour or shimmer to really lift the tan & make it look sensational.
STEP 1 – PREP
Our PRIMER plumps and conditions your skin to give the ideal canvas for your tan!
STEP 2 – TAN
Our carefully designed LUSSO TAN will give you the glow of a natural golden tan.
STEP 3 – BOOST
A little FINISHING TOUCH will make a beautiful tan into an exceptional polished look.
At Lusso Tan we’re driven to be forward thinking and innovative, to give you the best luxurious tan, that’s a must for achieving tanning perfection.
We encourage you to take a little “you” time, however long you have to mist, massage and care for your skin with our organic ingredient formulas (free from Parabens) and golden skin tone shades evocative of the warm Mediterranean Summer

I trained with pwc and worked in the Health Service in Northern Ireland for over 10 years, before setting up my own Practice. Over the years, this has provided me with an insight into a variety of business sectors which I hope will assist me in providing you with a quality service.
My focus is on small businesses where I believed I can provide a bespoke service to meet the needs of the client. I provide a full range of services including:
– start up advice
– bookkeeping
– payroll (both for businesses and for carers employed in private households)
– VAT
– provision of accounting software
– production of accounts
– completion of individual and corporation tax returns
I also assist small charities with advice regarding setting up their systems correctly and can also provide Independent Examiner Reports to comply with the Charities Commission regulations.

Hello Ladies, my name is Lorna and I live just outside Newry in the country and I LOVE it!!! I spent 15 years of my career working in London as a corporate political risk broker. Yes a mouthful – I also LOVED it!!! We had our first child in London and my husband and I decided when we started having a family we would move home (my home, rather than his – he is from outside Manchester). We have three lovely children; Finn is 6 and mad about football, Ethan is 3 and loves superheroes and tumbling and we have a daughter Erin who just turned 2 on the 16th March and loves Peppa Pig and singing.
I continued my corporate career when I moved home a couple of years ago but got sick of the constant commuting from here to London and back all the time. So I needed a change that would fit with our young family. This is when I decided to set up Manley Financial, I have always been passionate about my clients and their businesses so I thought I could still be passionate about my clients; but instead of their businesses – I would be making sure they are fully protected and their families should the worst happen. In a nutshell, I review client’s mortgages and Insurance needs, I believe I do it in a friendly jargon free manner. I want to grow my business even more and I believe networking and word of mouth is key.
I love my family, my career and netball….I still play for Banbridge Netball Club and coach the under 14’s which I absolutely love. I have been in the insurance world for over 16 years now, if you would like to see the services I offer, then please have a look at my website.

I am Fiona or Fee as some know me as!! I am originally from Melbourne Australia and came here and settled in Donaghmore Co.Tyrone with my family in the late 80s, then, when I met the now hubby I live up on the North Coast, just outside of Ballymoney, also along with my arty 10 year old son, Nemo the fish, and not forgetting my folks with us too!
I began my millinery (hatty) business 7 years ago just after I had been made redundant (which was an emotional time to say the least!). I have done numerous jobs and courses over the past, cough cough 20+ years but I had trained in fashion and design when I first came to Northern Ireland and decided to return to it but in a slightly different field – of hats!! I re-trained with experienced milliners and I am also a self taught milliner, experimenting with all variety of fabrics and materials. I create custom made (or couture) headpieces for weddings and race day events. I specialise in creating unique pieces from my collection of shapes/moulds and also I design and make my own shapes for clients headpieces. I use a variety of fabrics, from leather, lace, silks, tulle and straw to name a few but I especially love working with guipure lace. Each piece is designed with the client in mind and they feel confident to wear the finished product. I have also recently began teaching classes for people wanting to escape for a few hours and make something fun!! And I also teach 1 to 1 classes using traditional millinery techniques for people who would like to learn more. I have definitely learnt a lot in 7 years and my plan is to have a shop/studio somewhere near the sea –vision board here I come!!! My studio is based at home between Ballymoney and Ballycastle and near the famous Game of Thrones “Dark Hedges”.
It is great to be able to balance family life with my work, and I definitely haven’t missed out on my son growing up. I really can’t remember how I got in the MAW group, but I’m delighted that I’m here! I have learnt a lot, not just from going to different events when I can, but also through the group page and meeting some really fabulous, interesting ladies!!! I find this group very knowledgeable and supportive when I’ve needed help – as I can be stubborn at asking for help too!!
I hope to meet some of you soon, maybe at a coffee morning or some other events!!

Hi Everyone! I’m Louisa and I’m delighted to be part of this fantastic Mums at Work networking club!
My primary role is being Mum to my two young and very energetic little boys – Alexander is 3 and Jonathan is approaching 2. My background is Account Management and Contract Management from the corporate contract world (office supplies, records management…) and I loved it and had every intention of returning to work after my first round of maternity leave. Then motherhood arrived and bam! I had NO interest in returning to that environment or any job for that matter – I just wanted to be Mummy! Our second son arrived relatively quickly after our first so again, I had maternity leave to enjoy and time to contemplate my future. Thankfully, my other half Philip had an idea!
He no longer wanted to be an employee – after years in the financial sector and having recently completed his Masters at UUJ, he wanted to be his own boss. He also aspired to creating a business that we could pass on to our sons down the line. Long story short, an opportunity arose to purchase an existing business and we jumped at the chance. This allowed him to be a Managing Director and I could get involved in a supporting role, bringing my sales and account management ‘expertise’ into the business whilst still having the flexibility to be around for the boys. In December 2016, we started the process of buying Catering Equipment Services Limited.
Catering Equipment Services Limited (or ‘CES’) offers a one-stop shop for all your commercial catering needs – from cooking equipment and water boilers to refrigeration and microwaves, CES can service all your kitchen equipment and supply brand new equipment at competitive prices. We aim to consistently deliver outstanding service and value to customers and by doing so, to enhance our reputation as the trusted market leader for the supply and servicing of commercial catering equipment in Northern Ireland. Our customers include Public Sector clients; nursing homes; Councils; Education Authority; restaurant chains; bars and hotels; charities and churches.
I love what I do and I hope to raise the profile of our business through networking and connecting with women in the business community. I look forward to being part of this community and supporting your business too.

We pride ourselves in customer satisfaction and also customer safety! It is really important to us that every vehicle we put on the road has been thoroughly maintained throughout it’s life and goes through a full service and full check over before being handed over to it’s new owner.
Originally we were of course mainly a word of mouth business built on reputation, so we take pride in the fact that most of those customers have stuck with us and take it as testimonial of not only the good quality vehicles we have on offer but also our customer service. Repeat customers mean a lot to us and we know they are hard to get! so we make sure and look after each customer we ever have the pleasure of doing business with.
We always welcome new customers and endeavour to provide you with the kind of customer satisfaction that is going to have you coming back to us for years!
As part of our car sales business we have always sourced cars in to specific needs & wants of customers and so since 2015 we have really expanded on this and have found our #carsourcing4you scheme a very successful process.

My name is Evelyn and I founded Pathway To Learning in 2012 when I was made redundant and a lot of families needed services.
I have always worked with the Autism population in my career and became a Behaviour Analyst in 2009. It’s a very rewarding job teaching kids new skills when other professionals claim they are ‘unteachable’. We only use evidence-based approaches and have taught skills such as talking/communication; sleep; toileting; academics; eating; hair cutting; dentist fears; play & many more. Early intervention is key so love getting a 2year old client but my oldest client is 21yrs. No day is the same. I travel the length of the country. I’m definitely not in the field for the money (hate even calling it a business) as I usually put most profits back into professional development/keeping up with continuing education credits to uphold my certification to practice.
I have a 3year old son Parker who features on my instagram page quite a bit as ethically as professionals we cannot use clients identification. Since having Parker I now work part-time and have a passion for play and child development through play. We love socialising together at toddler groups, jo jingles, athletics, swimming, libraries …. my life does revolve around my son and my work will always come second. Now that he’ll be going to nursery full time I’ll have a bit more time on my hands to expand my business a bit and so am on here to get some advice on that.
I also love yoga and trained as a kids yoga teacher last year but have only used it in 1:1 formats. I also have a passion for positive parenting and mindfulness for kids as well as mental health. I do some work for The Salvation Army so also interested in homelessness and ways of preventing it.

More About Me | Life Coach Belfast | North Down | Reset life coaching| Rosa Stevens
My name is Rosa Stevens. I am based in the friendly Northern Ireland. I am the founder of Reset Life Coaching. I’m seriously lucky to do a job I love so much, and I’ve been blessed with success. However, I believe my greatest assets as a coach are my own personal and professional experience, my empathy and non judgemental character enable me to really understand what is going on for others. I have unpacked my own ‘stuff’ and I continue to do so every day and in each session by reflecting my own listening filters.
I like to keep it real and I don’t believe in trying to be someone other than my authentic self. If I believe I am the right coach for you then great, we can do great work from there.
Coaching with me is a conversation, the aim of which is to get to the truth. From there we’ll make a plan to guide you to achieve your goals both personally and professionally.
It’s a beautiful, challenging, enlightening and fun process during which you will laugh, you might cry, you’ll think deeply, and you’ll grow into your authentic self.
A little bit about me…
I was born in Italy, raised by wonderful Italian parents passionate about their catering businesses. I moved to Northern Ireland at the young age of 12, loved it so much that I made it my beautiful home. With the challenges of a new language, I achieved my qualifications and proceeded to follow the family path by opening my own cafe at the age of 19, whilst raising my new born. A few years later I decided to be bold and fulfil my long lost dream to become a cabin crew and loved every moment of it until I started to see that my “calling” was elsewhere. I boldly left a well paid job and proceeded to become a full time student and gain my first degree, whilst running a family and working. My life changed dramatically in 2009, the shock of which forced me to reassess everything and I very quickly began a new life journey. From here on I knew my “calling”. I went back to University and began working as an Integrative counsellor and Life Coach. I now know that our crises in life can be the absolute making of us…

My name is Niamh and for he past decade I have been busy building my family and dreaming of opening up my own business.
Apparently I decided to wait until I had 3 children until I was ready to start my own Mama Merchandise business. You know, because after 3 babies you obviously have loads of time on your hands! 😂
No, I’m joking. Honestly, I have actually been dreaming of this happening ever since I had my first daughter back in 2014. Ever since I became a Mother I felt like I became a part of something so much bigger than just being ‘someone’s Mum’. As Mothers we become the most important thing in the world to someone, we come part of a massive community of women who are thriving, yet struggling, beautiful, yet stressed, amazing, yet tough on themselves and I wanted a brand that reflected the humour and strength of being a Mum – so I’ve created one.
Ive started small but who knows where this will lead ❤️
Thanks for for your interest and support ❤️

I work with clients in a variety of ways, finding out what their struggles are and developing a plan to help them achieve their own individual style.
I help clients understand how to use their visual appearance to increase – confidence – to look and feel good by wearing the colours that flatter their natural skin tone, and to dress for their body shape, enabling them to develop a wardrobe of outfits that work together, saving time and money.
Having enjoyed running a successful hairdressing business for four decades I felt it was time for a new challenge, one that played to my strengths, working with people, listening and inspiring, but also helping people be the best they can be.
I trained with Gail Morgan at the Image House in London.
In March 2016 I stepped back from my hairdressing business to concentrate on Style by Iris.
You’ll never again say that you have nothing to wear.

I have 2 grown up daughters and have always worked full time to provide for them. I had been thinking of starting my own business for a while but was not sure what to do. A few months ago I saw this 6 bedroom property, all with en suites and I thought it would be a place to escape overnight and relax. I have a hot tub and cinema room and you can eat out at the amazing Wild Duck Inn or order in a takeaway. It’s suitable for couples, families and groups of friends. I’m enjoying every minute so far.

This is in particular useful for mums that find it hard to be consistent with their training due to their busy lives, also a perfect way to give those mums confidence, as perhaps they have been away from the fitness industry for too long and either feel lost or simply don’t know where to start.

I am originally from Dublin and am married to Mark and we have 5 sons.
I trained and worked as a chef in Dublin, Isle of Man, and Northern Ireland. Due to Arthritis however I had to give up my work, so took some time off to raise my family. I went back to college when my youngest was one and did a Foundation degree, Bsc Food Technology Degree and have taken time out from my Msc In Business Communications to become Self Employed.
I now run Healthy Eating and Cooking workshops in the community, schools and hoping to get into the business world in the future. I love what I do and get great satisfaction from seeing how my clients confidence grows everytime they come to one of my workshops.
I work with children from 3 up, teenagers, Mens groups, women, older peoples groups. I also do one to ones and am currently helping a disabled girl become more independant so she can eventually move out of her parents home. I love advising people on how to make better choices when they are shopping, cooking and eating and my overall ainm is to improve the health and well being of all my clients.
Being Self employed has many challenges and a lot of sleepless nights but I think that being positive and getting the support that I get from Mums at Work has helped me so much knowing that other women are all going through the same things and we are all in the same boat. Hopefully the next 6 months will not be as hard as the last but I am staying positive knowing that I have all the support from my family and friends.

Since having cancer diagnsosis in my family I have become passionate and interested in natural, Health and well-being.
Due to this shift I have changed my fulltime job from being A beautician and lash technicain to full time Health and Wellness Coach.
Now most of my work involves business mentoring online though a new company, I am proudly a founding member of this company in Health and Wellness in UK and Ireland. While participating in the creation of this company, I am proud to say it is my greatest achievement of my career and personal achievements to be part of this movement of people. Having struggled with low self esteem, confidence and depression in event years, I am finally starting to realise what life is really about, how go manage my anxiety and worries and how to fulfil life for me and others who are in similar circumstances.
I now can also marry my Business Degree and passion for helping others into the right mix together.
My aim is to help others who have similar physical, finance and mindset struggles as I have had and to help mentor, develop, support and train others so they can fulfil their own life goals.
In my spare time I take as much family time as I can around my kids and my parents, I can now make time more a priority with them. This is most important to me more than anything in the world, because when something as common but also equally unexpectant arrives at our door in ill-health, its time to realise the importance and invaluable price on time and prioritise.
I advocate doing things to make you happy,there is always Plan Bs, opportunities.
My biggest piece of advice is to always invest in yourself, always know your worth and do not stop training and developing your mind…not even for one day!! Every thing else will fall into place
