Antonia Chitty went freelance after having her daughter in 2002. She says, “I looked at the skills I had and how I could apply them. A session with life coach Suzy Greaves of The Big Leap as part of an article for She magazine really helped. I’d never thought of running my own business, but Suzy opened my eyes to the fact that people would pay money for my skills.” Prior to running her own business, Antonia worked for the British Medical  Association, wrote health features for Which? magazine, and promoted eye health for RNIB.
