She saw first-hand how lemons were used to treat cuts and mosquito bites; how cinnamon leaves were the local dentist's remedy; how, when her own daughter was suffering from double pneumonia, Nanny immediately mixed pineapple and lemon juice with eucalyptus leaves soaked in boiling water for her to inhale, a hugely effective emergency treatment.

Gill is constantly inspired by her friends and family when putting together her products. The PREGNANCY PAMPERING KIT was created as a response to the recent pregnancy of her niece who became a very willing guinea pig! The MENOPAUSE KIT was tried out on a suffering friend who proclaimed it a life saver! The perfect capsule TRAVEL KIT was put together as a direct response to Gill's own extensive travelling experiences and is designed to keep you fresh and fragrant on even the most trying long-haul.

Gill is extremely active and fit - hence the sports kit! As well as running GOLD, she is a Professional Tennis Coach and has run the London Marathon for charity - all of which comes in very handy, as she is also a Cordon Bleu cook and it's said her dishes are irresistible!
