It’s great to meet you. I’m Patora – a working professional and business owner, a Mum, daughter, caregiver, certified mental health advocate, wellness practitioner, and a progression coach and mentor.
I created Life & Soul Food blog & coaching to give a glimpse into my thoughts and experiences about topics very dear to me. Ones that are also close to many of you, I’m sure.
For the past 10-years, I’ve managed conditions and life events that have affected my physical, mental, and emotional health.
- Caring for my father, who’d battled cancer, and my disabled mother, a stroke survivor living with type 2 diabetes.
- Managing my chronic asthmatic, high-risk pregnancy, low PAPP-A, and gestational diabetes.
- Nurturing and raising my baby, now a thriving 5-year-old, controlling his food allergies and intolerances, eczema, and asthma.
I hope my experiences and learnings while practicing self-care, staying resilient, and taking on life can help fellow caregivers and working professionals.
I love food and appreciate all cuisines. I practice transformational breathing, mindfulness, and yoga and pilates when I can. Currently, I’m learning to roller skate and enjoy it most in the local park when my husband and son are playing tennis or mini golf. If I’ve not already organised it, you’ll find me planning the next fun and rejuvenating thing to do! When not working or being Mum, I volunteer as a parent trustee and an employability & progression mentor.
