Meet Luce

Welcome to Let Luce Wellness, I am Lucy, mother, married with two beautiful and intensely energetic boys. I am trained as a nurse, yoga teacher, health visitor and health and wellness coach. With all the excitement brought to me by my ADHD, I bloody love to sing, create, learn, grow, rest, laugh, eat, cook, dance, move, sleep, breathe, visualise, dream and play.

I have a lot of interests and passions, a million big ideas and I’ve always wanted to do everything right and ultimately to solve all of life’s problems until world harmony is achieved. I spent a HUGE proportion of my life aspiring to be the kindest, the nicest, the most thoughtful, the wisest, the most mindful, the most passionate, the freest, easiest to talk to, calmest, funnest, most carefree, most responsible, most successful, most approved of person that exists. I wanted to be solely likable and never to have an impact that wasn’t admirable. And then I became a mother. And I just couldn’t keep it all up.

Suddenly I found that the most important thing was no longer me and how I conducted myself in the rest of the world. And especially not what others thought of me. There just wasn’t the time or energy left to dedicate to all that worry, self-doubt, inner critic roaring self-hatred and nervous system freezing pressure. Now it was my boy, and then my boys, that mattered most. And role modeling to them the life I want them to know they can take for themselves and share with their own chosen people as they grow.

I hit burn out, I shut down, I got false diagnosis after false diagnosis for my multiple physical and mental health challenges. There was no village, no tribe of women wisely guiding my way forwards, bringing me strength, faith, self-belief, resilience. Only one mother, one sister and one husband, with limited resources of their own, their own pressures, their own needs, lack of time, space, energy, capacity. Friends who cared so much but couldn’t know my experience any more than I could articulate it.

I had nowhere to turn. Nowhere to turn but me, to turn this all around. 

I looked at my children. I looked at my future, my fears, the tall towers of the barriers in front of me. And I made a choice.

This is the moment when I started to truly matter. This is when I started to learn what I really want. 

And then, I Let Luce.
