PEACE AT HOME
Providing professional and experienced household services for private families and HNWI clients
About me
My name is Holly and I am a private PA, personal trainer and housekeeper, working with private clients covering London, Kent and Surrey.
I have over 15 years of experience as an Executive Assistant working for large corporates as well as a private PA to HNW families, and 10 years experience as a personal trainer working with private families.
My recent housekeeping venture and entity was created on the back of a struggle I had during the first year of having my baby Daughter. When my little girl came into this world in January 2021 unforeseen circumstances unfortunately hit both of us. Consequently raising a baby single-handedly along with everything else around that (emotionally, physically, financially) the last thing I could comprehend was cleaning and house keeping. At the time I hired a house keeper, to keep me sane, if I’m honest, and it truly was the best investment I have ever made.
The feeling of having a cluttered home along with feeding and caring for a baby to then try and remember to feed and care for yourself, not to mention the sleepless nights, is overwhelmingly difficult and stressful.
I learned so much from my housekeeper at the time, and I’d really love to help other families in the same way. As a highly experienced private PA I’d say I’m quite a perfectionist and extremely detail oriented and those traits have certainly overlapped into the housekeeping of the beautiful home that I have created for my Daughter and I which is where my interest in becoming a house keeper arose. Now that life is a little easier with my daughter being older I’d really like to help other parents that may or may not be feeling the same way but indeed do ultimately need that little extra support around the house.
Housekeepers are indeed a valuable asset to any home, helping with or leading the running of a home so everything runs smoothly, taking care of errands and chores.
Many housekeepers have multiple strings to their bow, taking care of common household duties such as cleaning, childcare and cooking, however I do provide that little extra, I.e private PA duties, dog walking and personal training. The list is endless when discussing private PA duties as ultimately a private PA is there to do anything that makes the families life easier.
Other duties often include childcare, cooking (sometimes to dinner party standard), driving and errands, online shopping, menu planning, pet care, liaising with contractors and receiving deliveries, taking telephone messages etc.
I consider myself as loyal, dedicated, solution driven, hard working, positive, professional, caring, empathic, trustworthy and reliable. My weakness as described by one of my clients is “anything that is not perfect deeply distresses Holly”.
Furthermore I hold childcare certificates along with an up to date DBS.
I have worked with many families of whom can provide references.

Helping people move better, think better and feel better.
I am a personal trainer and dance instructor with over 15 years experience in the health and fitness industry.
I have delivered my style of personal training across London and globally at many luxury resorts as their in-house PT, however over the last few years I have started working with private families and clients within Kent and Surrey in the comfort of their own home.
My philosophy on fitness is that it consists of three key pillars: Strength, Aerobic Fitness, and Emotional Wellbeing.
I aim to not only train clients but also educate and assist them on their wellbeing. I enjoy nothing more than helping individuals achieve goals they never thought possible, and to live a life of health and longevity.
Programs for my clients are built from a thorough assessment and evaluation of current movement ability, lifestyle, body composition, sleep quality and nutritional habits. This, combined with an understanding of specific wants, needs and goals allows for a bespoke and holistic approach to moving better, thinking better and feeling better. This is underpinned with a sustainable nutritional plan that both supports the goals but also fits into a long term lifestyle.
