Based in South West England, I work with people who want to feel better — not just for a short time, but for good.
As a health coach, I take the time to truly understand you: your life, your habits, your relationships, and what's really getting in the way of you feeling well. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, I help you get to the heart of what's holding you back and build a practical plan that works for your real life.
My approach draws on a deep respect for the natural world and the idea that our health is shaped by far more than just what we eat. How we connect with others, how we spend our time, and how we relate to the world around us all play a huge role in how we feel.
Together, we look at what you genuinely need to thrive — not what you think you should be doing — and use that as the starting point for meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you're dealing with low energy, stress, ongoing health concerns, or simply the feeling that something is off, I'll support you in building healthy habits that feel natural, sustainable, and right for you.
This is a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space. You don't need to have all the answers — that's what we work out together.
If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'd love to help.
Functional health coaching is a way of working with a partner to help you reach your health goals. While a doctor might tell you what is wrong, a coach helps you figure out how to make the changes needed to feel better. They focus on things like eating nutritious food, getting better sleep, and managing stress.
According to research in behavioural science, people are much more likely to stick to healthy habits when they have someone to guide and encourage them. Instead of giving you a list of rules, a coach helps you create a personalised plan that fits your life, helping you fix the "root causes" of health problems rather than just hiding the symptoms
Trauma-informed coaching is an approach that recognizes the pervasive impact of trauma on an individual's life and well-being. Unlike traditional coaching, it operates from a foundation of safety, trust, and collaboration, acknowledging that past traumatic experiences can influence a client's present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
A trauma informed coach does not ask, "what is wrong with you?' We ask 'What happened to you."
This methodology is not about "fixing" trauma, but rather about creating a secure space where clients can explore their goals without triggering or retraumatizing them. By integrating principles like empowerment, choice, and cultural sensitivity, trauma-informed coaches help clients build resilience and move forward in a way that honors their unique journey, fostering growth and healing.
Indigenous health is a holistic concept encompassing the physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural well-being of individuals and communities, deeply intertwined with their land, environment, and cultural identity. It views health as a collective, intergenerational continuum, acknowledging that historical trauma, colonization, and social inequalities significantly impact health outcomes.
Improving health requires a strengths-based approach rooted in self-determination and control over their own health destinies, integrating traditional healing practices with culturally appropriate and accessible healthcare services.
