Our story
The heart of LivWell Family
A space for the after
We believe that some of the most beautiful growth happens in the quiet seasons following a storm. Whether you are navigating the disorienting island of survival after a life changing event or the heavy fog of exhaustion that comes when sleep is missing from your home, you are not alone.
LivWell Family was created to be a sanctuary for those who are ready to rebuild. We do not believe in the pressure to simply bounce back or settle for a life that feels like a shadow of what it once was. Instead, we offer a gentle, intentional path toward a new version of normal; one that is built on your terms, at your pace, and with your wellbeing at the very centre.
Meet Liz
Founder and Guide
My journey to creating this space began when my life stopped. In 2023, two words changed everything: liver failure.
The season that followed was intense and traumatic. I moved through a world of ambulances, hospital corridors, ICU and dialysis, eventually undergoing a life saving transplant. To the medical world, I was a success case. But when I returned home, nothing felt like success. I had lost my work, my confidence and my very sense of identity. My family had been through so much, and I found myself stuck on a quiet island of survival, putting my emotions into a sealed mental box just to function.
Professional Expertise Meets Lived Experience
I waited for emotional support that never truly came, so I began to build my own raft off that island. I turned to the tools I had gathered throughout my career as a nurse, a specialist family nurse and a health visitor. I used my First Class Honours degree and my deep understanding of healthcare to deconstruct my own trauma.
Today, I am a lecturer training the next generation of healthcare professionals, but my heart is here, with you. LivWell Family is the result of combining my clinical background with the raw lessons I learned while rebuilding my own Life 2.0. I am a mother of five who has stood where you are standing, waiting for help that felt out of reach. I created this sanctuary so that you no longer have to wait.
Meet Ian
Strategist, builder and anchor
I believe that true strength does not have to be loud. It is often found in the quiet decision not to give up when everything feels fragile.
When Liz was fighting for her life in 2023, my role was to hold our world together. In an instant, our business paused, our income stopped, and our stability vanished. Standing at our kitchen table with four walls and no safety net, I had to decide how we would move forward. Out of that season of survival, Beautifully Handcrafted was reimagined. What began as a desperate need to endure became a thriving national brand with tens of thousands of sales and partnerships with respected organisations across the UK.
Commercial Clarity and Human Strategy
My experience in rebuilding did not begin at that kitchen table. I hold a Business Administration degree and have spent over two decades transforming underperforming retailers into profitable, high performing operations. I have led teams of more than two hundred people, managed flagship stores, and delivered multimillion pound growth by focusing on one thing: rebuilding cultures from the ground up.
I specialise in operational efficiency and commercial clarity. I know how to see the bigger picture without losing sight of the vital details that make a business sustainable. At LivWell Family, my mission is to ensure that our mission is built to last.
Building for the Future
I believe families should never have to choose between their purpose and their provision. In time, I will be offering business mentoring and entrepreneurial support for those who want to build something meaningful without compromising their values. Whether you are navigating a personal crisis or looking to grow a sustainable business, I am here to show you that rebuilding is possible and that growth is within your reach.
