I worked as a senior manager and trainer from 1995 to the end of 2015, when a cancer diagnosis led me leave the care profession and pursue this path instead, before it was too late. I am very conscious of time now!

During my career I trained in person-centred counselling, hynoptherapy and NLP and achieved qualifications in Health and Social Care, Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care and Business Management, amongst others.

I have always had a thirst for knowledge and a passion for sharing that knowledge with as many people as possible, in whatever way they can relate to.

When not working on Mawatynki I love to read and research various subjects, especially nutrition and its effects on mental health, and Dementia.

I enjoy spending time with and walking our dogs, travelling, cooking and just doing anything creative.

Originally from the city of Poznan in Poland, I have lived and worked in the UK for almost 20 years.

I used to work alongside the NHS as a non-emergency ambulance driver, which is where Nicky and I met, and did this for about 10 years.

I have experience of Alzheimer’s Disease as my father was diagnosed with it in 2010 and passed away in 2015.

When I’m not working or helping with Mawatynki, I like to travel and spend time walking with the dogs. I have a keen interest in world politics and economics, and I also love to cook. My biggest hobby is aviation; I’m a plane fanatic and love flying. One day, I hope to touch the sky in my own plane!

I have worked in various sectors of the care industry, including being a senior co-ordinator for a large care company, however caring for people who had a form of Dementia, a learning disability, or both, were the times I enjoyed the most.

When not working on Mawatynki I enjoy spending time with my dogs and being out in nature, astronomy and astrology, reading, and exploring the spiritual side of life. I am a keen photographer and also enjoy taking my telescope out to view the night skies.

I am looking forward to meeting you all on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

I work as a freelance graphic designer and also build and repair computers.

When not working on Mawatynki, I like to spend my time learning about anything related to computers. I also enjoy dog sitting for my friend, gaming, listening to music and spending time with my friends and family.

Hi, I’m the resident fact-checker for Mawatynki, ensuring all the website’s video content is factually correct for our members.

I’ve been involved in marketing as a copywriter and consultant for many years, and currently run an advertising agency. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I’ve had 4 children’s books published as well as writing a guidebook to safe and effective exercise during and after pregnancy.

When I’m not working, I enjoy riding Harley-Davidsons, working out, eating, and the occasional single malt
