About Me

 My story - and why I’m passionate about Coaching and Complementary therapies..

When I was in my thirties my father was diagnosed with lung cancer. During his illness, he spent some time at a local hospice. I was blown away by their dedication, kindness and support. Some years later I decided that I would like to support others in the way that my father had been. I studied anatomy and physiology, massage, aromatherapy, and reflexology. In 2004 after qualifying I volunteered as a complementary therapist with Hospiscare and Weldmar Hospiscare, supporting clients and their families with complementary therapies in their homes.

I later went on to opening my own business, a little shop in Axminster, Devon with therapy rooms, which also sold fair trade, natural and organic skincare products and a range of candles.

The shop and centre did well, but like many high street business’s it had its problems, and so in 2012 I closed the door and went back to working in administration. I was a marketing manager in tourism for several years until being made redundant in 2020. This came as a huge blow which led to depression, I struggled with my confidence along with mild anxiety. My mental health was at an all-time low and not knowing which direction to take in my life - I knew I needed help so signed up with a ‘back to work’ life coach.

During our sessions, we discussed my strengths and my passion for working and supporting people. This led me to research and seek out a reputable health coaching course. The College of Naturopathic Medicine in London ticked all the boxes. A natural and organic approach to health, a way of living that supports clients through stress, illness, and mental health. This course not only gave me a credible qualification but also turned my health around. I am now fitter than I have ever been and my diet and mental health improved immensely. I now manage the Axminster Health and Wellbeing Centre alongside my own private wellbeing practice..

I hope that you are not going through the struggles I went through, but if you are at a turning point in your life, have anxiety or depression, need to talk, or maybe you are looking for a new direction, then please get in touch. I offer a FREE discovery chat - perhaps we can open the door together to find a solution. The journey through life is about navigating the twists and turns in the road and when you hit a wall or uncertain of which direction to take, then working together can make the path a little more enjoyable and maybe less scarey!

Things I love! My happy place

When I’m not working or studying, I love to walk with my two dogs in the beautiful Devon countryside, running, lifting weights at the gym or relaxing with my yoga practice or meditation.
