About Me

About Me

My name is Audrey Finch, and it's time for me to bridge the gap between my career journey and the vibrant world of Tartan Vitalis. Let me take you on a journey that intertwines experience, passion, and a dash of diversity.

Professional Pathway With a career spanning senior roles within the Scottish Government and its agencies and stints in the private and charity sectors, I've had the privilege of navigating the complex landscapes of leadership and management. Armed with an accounting qualification, I brought extensive practical experience to the table, nurturing solutions and fostering forward-thinking approaches in Accountancy, ICT, Estates and Security. My journey saw me operate in boardrooms and senior management teams.

I'm proud of my track record in building capacity and cultivating high-performing, multidisciplinary teams, pushing the boundaries of success. Within the teams, I was honoured to coach and mentor talented people, supporting them through growth and development.

My forte? Aside from coaching and mentoring, it has to be corporate governance and risk management, where I've contributed to shaping processes at senior levels, steering organisations through transformative change, and empowering individuals to be catalysts of creativity.

My Other Life But there's more to me than spreadsheets and board meetings. I have always been passionate and committed to Holistic Health and Well-being. This love affair started around 1992, and  I created BetterLife4u. It was my first step into creating and managing a website and trying to get the message out to a broader audience. You could say it was a baby Tartan Vitalis. Sadly, with working a full-time job and other priorities,  I couldn't commit the time needed to take BetterLife4u further, so I had to let it go. But the commitment and passion has never been far away.

I am a qualified Life Coach, Reiki Level 2 practitioner, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner. I am qualified in holistic therapies such as Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy, Massage Therapy, and Emotional Freedom Therapy (EFT).

I was a dedicated gym bunny, running, lifting weights and attending yoga classes. And I competed in too many to count, 10k and 5k events. Sadly, age has caught up with me, but although my training is not as frequent or intense, I still look after my own Holistic Health and Well-being.

My love for the written word also led me to self-publish a fiction book and contribute as an Ezine Expert Author on a range of Holistic Health and Wellbeing topics,  all under the pen name Audrey Finch.

The Story of Tartan Vitalis

I live in Kinross, Scotland, with my wife Monica, who is African American, and our two rescue dogs, Jorge and Rosie.

So, thank you for joining me on this adventure.
