Delighted to see my dear friend lorraine of Holistic Hands Ltd featured on Ablepreneurs socials today in the run up to on the 16th (2 weeks today!! )
💜 100 Ablepreneurs. 100 Stories.
Lorraine Hamilton has reinvented her working life more than once.
At 54, after years working in admin, she retrained to drive coaches and open-top sightseeing buses.
Then her health intervened.
**So she retrained again.**
Living with fibromyalgia, arthritis and anxiety meant traditional working hours became increasingly difficult, but Lorraine's own search for ways to manage her health had already introduced her to something that would eventually become a new career.
Reiki.
Almost seven years ago, she created Holistic Hands Ltd.
Today, working for herself gives Lorraine the flexibility to work around her health while doing something that's become incredibly important to her: supporting other people with theirs.
💜 **This is Lorraine's story.**
She's one of 100 Ablepreneurs sharing their lived experience in the lead-up to National Ablepreneurs Day.
