Buying a home can feel overwhelming.
Deposit, credit score, affordability checks, documents, mortgage types... it's a lot.
My role is to help people understand their options clearly, step by step.
After 20 years as a nurse, helping people through stressful situations has always been part of who I am. Today, I bring that same approach into mortgage and protection advice.
One thing I often hear is:
“I need to save a much bigger deposit before I can even think about buying.”
In reality, a deposit doesn't always come solely from personal savings.
Depending on the lender and individual circumstances, it may come from:
✓ A gifted deposit from family
✓ Gifted equity
✓ Certain government schemes
Understanding how lenders assess an application means looking at the full picture — not just one number.
Let me know if you'd like to understand what options may be available to you.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up with repayments on your mortgage.

Providing Financial Security Through Compassionate Advice

Hi, my name is Catalina.
I navigate two worlds — I am both a full-time nurse and a financial advisor & mortgage manager for ProActivLife in the UK. Over time, I realised the connection between health and financial security.
At the bedside, I’ve seen how quickly life can change. I’ve seen families going through serious health issues, and then facing another worry — how they will keep up with bills or their mortgage.
That’s why I chose this path.
For me, this is not just about insurance.
It’s about ensuring that if life takes an unexpected turn, your home and family remain safe and secure.

At ProActivLife, we offer support tailored to your situation:
✔️ Income Protection – helping cover your bills if you’re unable to work
✔️ Serious Illness Cover – giving you financial support when you need to focus on recovery
✔️ Life Cover – protecting your loved ones’ future
✔️ Mortgage Protection – helping keep your home secure

Alongside protection planning, I can also guide you through one of the biggest milestones in life - buying your first home or remortgaging your current one.

I’ve seen — both professionally and personally — what can happen when health and finances collide, and how important it is to feel prepared and supported during difficult times.

If this resonates with you, perhaps I can help bring clarity and reassurance tailored to your circumstances.
