Rhian Beal
Companion
Rhian is a lovely addition to the team. With experience in health and social care, she always thrived on being compassionate, supportive and caring to her clients and their families. The importance of a person-centred approach and being a good listener, Rhian understands that more often than not, being a good listener and approaching different scenarios and people to their individual energy, state and needs, is a recipe for a great relationship and outcome. In her free-time she enjoys spending time with her family and taking her two dogs for a walk. She enjoys capturing memories with photography, reading and although she is unsure of the quality, she does enjoy cooking. Maybe you can become the judge of that😉.

Kathryn Easlea
Companion
When you meet Kathryn, you get that instant feeling of calm. Her sweet nature is very comforting. Kathryn has had to be strong for her partner and family for many years while they experienced challenging health scares. She was their rock, support, the light that kept them going. Having come out the other end and looking positively into the future, she wants to help more people live a happier life knowing there is still so much to experience and look forward to.
Kathryn loves to make memories, learn of new places and things to do. She enjoys arts and crafts, music, theatre, film and playing games, although through years of caring for her family, she may have become a little rusty, which would give any avid player a little advantage, we are just not sure for how long 😊.
