ABOUT US

The idea for the Health Journal came to Emily Lezzeri whilst working closely with a homeopath. With a busy life as a languages teacher and a mother, Emily realised that her own health was often not a priority. Wanting to become more aware and responsible for her own health, Emily developed the idea of the Health Journal, with the aim of empowering people to reflect and record their own physical and emotional experiences. Emily’s priority was to make the Journal both attractive and easy to use; a place to quickly note down symptoms as well as a space to write in more detail about both physical and mental health.

Diana Gittins, Emily’s mother and inveterate journal-keeper and writer, also started working with the same homeopath and soon realised the importance of recording symptoms and reactions to her course of treatment. Diana started to help with the development of the Health Journal and did much of the graphic design for the project.

Diann Timms, a professional illustrator and friend, kindly provided the image of the Dashing Lady for the cover and logo.
