Allerchic for Eczema and Allergy
Hello beautiful people!
I’m Steph.
Married to the love of my life (sorry Tatum)
Blessed mumma of two amazing little people; Batbaby & the Scientist Princess.
Snort laugher, lover of a good LOL, possibly addicted to chocolate (I’m trying to be good Sarah Wilson), always desperately seeking coffee!
Nurse of 20+yrs working in Kids ward, Emergency & Infection control. Eczema & Allergy advocate & educator with big dreams to change the world through my business Allerchic.
Also, spreader of Autism awareness & acceptance.
Would love to think my life flows like that of Carol Brady, but it’s probably more like a married with children version of Bridget Jones Diary.
Lets learn & Laugh together x
