About me

I help individuals stuck with a health challenge take charge of their wellbeing with tailored coaching that empowers self-discovery, clarity and action.

Whether it's ADHD, anxiety, depression, low confidence, self-esteem, pain, motivation or relationship challenges impacting your wellbeing...

Or, you're looking to manage stress, optimise your lifestyle and improve your health for personal development...

You'll gain clarity, empowerment, and personalised actionable strategies to take control of your health, with bespoke guidance that fosters self-discovery, emotional relief, and long-term progress.

My story and values

My teenage years were shaded by chronic pain and the mental and physical limitations that can come with that.

The search for answers led me through the maze of modern healthcare and much despair, anger and confusion.

But things changed.

Someone listened to me, deeply, compassionately. They cared.

They shared what they knew about health and healing, by showing me practices I could use for my own wellbeing. Nothing more.

I felt inspired to figure the rest out myself. 

I didn't give up and I found ways to heal.

I've spent a decade working in the NHS and privately doing the same for others.

It works, because people (like you) are out there alone looking for answers to their health problems and it can be overwhelming, time consuming and expensive.

My values

We all want to be heard, seen and validated in our struggles, without judgement. I pride myself on listening deeply, curiously and really trying to understand what you're going through. 

We focus on what spark is alive in you and what is driving your need for change and we stay with that. This is not about my agenda.

We're looking to unlock that emotional energy, clarity and insight that will drive you forwards to create the health you want and break through stuckness or despair. You can get deeply stuck on your own and a conversation can transform how you feel.

If you ask for guidance on a specific issue, I will share only what I know has been helpful for me or others I have worked with. I can offer feedback on your own ideas if you ask me and will never offer suggestions without your consent. I truly believe you can discover your next steps within yourself.

Inspiration and implementation are more impactful than information. If you want change, it's about doing things differently. Information can help but a lot of people get stuck there. Coaching can move you towards the motivation and action to shift things forwards for yourself.

More about me

I am a Coach with a reverence for true whole-health care, offering a deep and varied knowledge of both modern and integrative approaches.

I have honed my craft supporting thousands of people, both within the NHS and for the employees of global businesses and freelance creatives.

I've attained a decade of experience in the evolving and innovative profession of Social Prescribing

I was part of the team that developed the internationally celebrated Frome Model of Enhanced Primary Care, featured in the Guardian and New York Times.

I hold a Level 7 Master's Diploma from the National Centre for Integrative Medicine and a professional Coach Certification from MOE Foundation.

My personal journey through significant health challenges as a teenager has given me a deep understanding of the path to wellbeing.

This lived experience has shaped my belief in the transformative power of informed choices when it comes to lifestyle and healthcare options.

My personal journey led me to qualify in the F.M. Alexander Technique from which I gained insight into embodiment, ease and the mind body connection. I have also benefited personally from the study of meditation, self-compassion, breath work, nutrition and Ayurveda.
