The 'About Me' Bit
NOt my life story but a few things about me
NOt my life story but a few things about me
NOt my life story but a few things about me
I’m Sheila, a mid-40’s Brummie girl who has moved around a lot in the UK, overseas & on military bases, but settled back in the Midlands since 2020, in Nuneaton & I’m happy to be home.
I’m the oldest of 6 between 1 Dad & 2 Moms, one big happy family. Not in a ‘Sister Wives’ way, in a ‘our parents made it work so we can all be brothers & sisters’ way. We include publicans, musicians, chef, social activist, & a drag queen. #brummiessaymomnotmum
I love sci-fi, fantasy & superhero stuff & can be found geeking about at Comic Cons. I will happily spend the evening playing board games or watching a good movie or box set. Addicted to private detective/police murder TV dramas & Grey’s Anatomy.
I have been meat free since age 14 & am happily about 95% plant based now. I don’t like to commit to being perfect at it, it's too much pressure & I'm only human. I love a bit of breathing & meditating on my acupressure mat followed by a cold shower to my Disney playlist a few times a week, it’s addictive I promise.
I love kickboxing, swimming & yoga. I like to ice-skate too when I get the chance but that's not very often. I don’t believe in making myself do things I don’t enjoy so the only jumping jacks & press ups I do are in kickboxing class warm up. I quite like squats, but burpees are the devil's work.

"I can safely say this has been the most effective counselling I have had after trying other avenues. I was left with things I can use in real world, not just in sessions. There are no quick fixes or magic wand, but Sheila was patient, understanding & effective. - Dave
