About Me:
I moved to Teesdale at the age of 12 and now live with my husband, Mark in Barnard Castle. I am a step mum to 3 children, one grown up and the other two in school. We support a charity that helps victims of human trafficking and the NSPCC.
I have worked for many years in the voluntary sector and am currently the Chair of YMCA Barnard Castle.
I have studied management and have a keen interest in image, fashion and textiles, making and customising many of my own clothes.

My philosophy on life is that we can all live a ‘congruent life’, a lifestyle that corresponds with our true character and values.
About My Business:
simplyLeah lifestyle management services exist to assist others in achieving the lifestyle they aspired to.

services include
admin support / home & office de-cluttering / creative assistance / concierge service / events management / garment care / life modelling

Many people need assistance in their business to enable them to concentrate on what they really ‘should’ be doing which will ultimately allow time for family and friends. Others need assistance at home to create an environment and atmosphere they can relax in or help with that long list of tasks to free up time for hobbies and relationships.

Its simple - just prioritse your life and spend more time doing what matters to you.

life drawing thanks the teesdale mercury

well that was a surprise.
i sent some info to the Tees Merc about the Life Drawing Group and asked if they would include it in the 'whats on' section and they printed a big picture with all the info and contact details below!

im not complaining...free advertising...and the group has doubled in size with the response.

its a good reminder that newspapers like 'human interest', 'newsworthy stories' and are often 'picture led'.

Tomorrow i'm decluttering someones wardrobe and then the new Life Drawing Group begins… Continue

Hi Leah, welcome to the forum. When you get a chance it'd be great if you could tell everyone a bit more about you and your business. Add a photo to your profile maybe too? And do feel free to join in on or add new discussions to the forum.
