Lesley Benson
Lesley is very grateful for life presenting so many interesting opportunities. She has lived on three continents and she may live in many more countries in the upcoming years. She never says never.
She’s an avid traveller, an intuitive healer with qualifications in many modalities as well as being a life coach. She’s passionate about helping women create and design the life they know they deserve. She is also an avid property renovator and has a passion for restoring old houses.
She’s practical and down to earth. By being a single parent from the very first day, to a now 24-year-old living his life in a foreign country, she understands that we have to create tribes, collaboration and be supportive of each other to recreate the traditional extended “family” structure that has been lost in our modern world.
She maintains that friendships are the backbone of life; whether the friendships are lifelong or created for a passing connection. Thank goodness for social media and being able to keep in contact with everyone!
Lesley is a philanthropist who believes in the world working for all.
