Lorna Pilates Sheffield

lorna pilates sheffield

My background is nursing having worked as an Emergency Nurse Practitioner in the Emergency department for many years, formally working as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in a GP surgery. I am passionate about helping people become well and whole, to live life to their full potential. My career took a change of course when I trained to become a Body Control Pilates teacher, after a number of years of personal experience in Body Control Pilates, which I started after advice from a physiotherapist. I have appreciated the benefit of Pilates for my own health as well as improved performance in the sport I do - climbing, mountain biking, skiing. Through Pilates and working with those with PoTS and Long-COVID, I wanted to learn more about breathing, and realised the benefit of breathing well has on our health and wellbeing. For a long time I have been aware of the mind-body connection and the influence of stress (current, past and personality types) have on our body. I am now trained as a Stress Induced Recovery Practitioner working with those with stress induced symptoms. Movement and breathing and acknowledging the impact of stress on our body, will help calm our nervous system. I have a specific interest in those with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Long-COVID and any other chronic health conditions.

Verde Business Solutions

Watford

I’m Sharon Gaffney and Verde Business Solutions is my company. I’m an experienced company director, business advisor and trainer. I ran my own businesses from the age of 22 and I’ve dedicated most of my working life to helping entrepreneurs like you become successful in their businesses and in their lives. I’ve been supporting business owners for over 20 years and it’s been my privilege to help thousands of business owners start up, grow and thrive through my Business Advice and Training programmes. Being a business advisor is all about helping you find the right strategy to build a successful company and supporting you to put that strategy into action. It’s also about delivering the lifestyle you’re looking for and defining success in your own terms. It helps that I’ve been there before and experienced the highs and lows of running several fast-growing small businesses myself, so I can really empathise with what you’re going through. I specialise in small business start-ups and companies with less than 50 employees – sometimes with just one or two people. I love working with companies where I honestly believe that the business has the potential to grow and develop. Whether that’s a part-time business that brings in a small additional income but that you really believe in, or you have dreams of being a corporate mogul, I’m interested! It’s not the size of your business that matters to me, only the extent of your vision.
