Our Story

Our Journey So Far

Identical twins. Two careers. One purpose. Scroll to walk the path with us.

The Journey

From Then to Now

01The Beginning

Two Sisters, One Path

We are Esther and Laura — identical twins, born in Bristol and raised in Leicestershire. We have walked remarkably similar paths our whole lives, often without planning to.

02First Venture

Our First Business

Our first business together saw us establishing a base in Yorkshire and setting up a recruitment company. Even then, the heart of the work was helping people reach their potential and create positive change.

03A Turning Point

Family & Wellbeing

Next, career breaks to raise our young families led us to re-training and qualifying as personal trainers and setting up and running a business in the health, fitness and wellbeing sector. Once again, we found ourselves drawn to the human side of change. We became fascinated by what helps people grow, what holds them back. How support, understanding and encouragement can enable people to move forward through difficult periods in their lives. Our work focused on physical wellbeing, lifestyle change and personal development, and it was here that we saw first-hand the powerful connection between emotional wellbeing, self-belief, resilience and lasting change.

04The Retraining

Ten Plus Years of Learning, Training and Growth

Our curiosity about people and relationships led us back into education. Over ten plus years, we trained and qualified as counsellors while continuing to develop our knowledge in areas including trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment, relationships, intimacy and couples therapy. The more we learned, the more passionate we became about helping our clients understand themselves, strengthen their relationships and create meaningful change in their lives.

05Today
