After approaching a local newspaper, the journalist decided not to run my story… so I thought I’d publish it myself instead 😆
Holly is 15 and preparing to take her GCSEs next year. Although the decision will always be hers, I would love her to consider following me into nursing.
Nursing has given me so much more than a career. It has taught me about the human body, prevention and the importance of looking after our health before something goes wrong. It has also taught me compassion, empathy, kindness and what it truly means to serve others.
More than anything, I want Holly to understand that the decisions she makes now can help shape the health she experiences in later life.
We often talk about lifespan, but I believe the future is about healthspan. It is not simply about how many years we live, but how many of those years we remain healthy, active, independent and able to enjoy our lives.
That is why I keep coming back to one question:
🔮Are we living today in a way that our future selves will thank us for?
This thinking is also shaping the future of Cara Aesthetics. My focus is expanding beyond how we look on the outside to include skin health, wellness and healthy ageing.
The PRYSM iO carotenoid scan gives me an opportunity to begin meaningful conversations with my clients about nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, hormones and the everyday habits that influence how we feel and age.
A scan cannot tell us everything about our health, but it can provide a starting point for change.
Whatever career Holly chooses, I hope the greatest lesson I pass on to her is that our health is something we should value and protect long before it is lost. ❤️
PRYSM iO carotenoid scans are available for £20 at my Churchover and Lutterworth locations. Message or call me to book 07597090470
