I’m Ayo, a 40 something Yorkshire woman living in Southport, UK, with a mixed Nigerian and English heritage and a global mind.

Alongside Ayo was born from my own journey of discovering the power of travel, confidence, wellbeing and having space to simply be yourself.

Growing up working class, regular travel wasn’t a major part of my early life. It was through career opportunities that I began exploring South East Asia, India and other parts of the world. I was hooked! I quickly discovered that travel was about so much more than visiting new destinations. It challenged my perspective, expanded my confidence and friendships, gave me a greater sense of independence and changed the way I saw myself and other people.

As I turned 40, I began reflecting on how many women spend years prioritising careers, relationships, family and the needs of others, often leaving little time or space for themselves. I had those moments of reflection too and realised that there are different ways to approach mid-life that can involve reawakening’s, new experiences, new goals, and new people.

I wanted to create something to bring those women alongside each other.

A space where women could put themselves back on the list without guilt. A space that felt inclusive, supportive and completely judgement-free and where you could pause, reflect, challenge yourself, meet new people, try something new and reconnect with the things that bring you joy.

With more than 20 years’ experience in coaching, inclusion and gender equality, alongside my love of travel, fitness and movement, I bring together the things I’m most passionate about to create experiences that help women feel well, confident and joyful.
