Life has not always been easy, but I am profoundly grateful for every breath of it; my husband, our three wonderful daughters and a world that is beautifully imperfect and deeply rewarding. As with many families, our story has included unexpected challenges. Our second daughter was born with a myriad of complex medical needs that pulled me into a place I had never experienced. I stepped away from my corporate career and created a business that allowed me to be fully present for my family. Then, our lives shifted again with serious autoimmune diagnoses for all three girls as well as myself. What began as survival became something deeper, a commitment to growth, advocacy and resilience. Above all else, parenting remained our foundation. No matter what we were navigating, my husband and I were intentional about how we showed up for our daughters. Each of them deserved to be seen, loved and treated with the same devotion. We were not perfect, far from it, but we chose to learn, to grow and to apologise. And, through it all, something quietly emerged. The lessons we were living at home were finding their way into every parenting conversation I was a part of, flowing together in a manner that was simply inevitable. Gradually it became clear that these experiences, my previous career and the business I built had given me an unexpected gift; daily opportunities to walk alongside and guide anyone who was searching for deeper, more meaningful connections with themselves and with those they love most. In time I came to the realisation that the answer had always been there, waiting. This is my calling. So, after completing an extensive program encompassing hundreds of hours of both academic study and coaching experience, I became a certified Life and Health Coach, founding Lavande Renew as a tranquil refuge where that purpose awaits. Today, I gently mentor all who are ready to do the meaningful work of understanding themselves and enriching the relationships that matter most to them. This work is deeply personal to me. I know what it feels like to walk through uncertainty, to want to experience deeper, more harmonious relationships with yourself, with your family and with everyone who touches your life. And so, if you are searching for more, it would be my pleasure to support you as your Coaching Mentor. Warmly yours, Victoria
