My Story
I know what it’s like to have your life
reduced to symptoms, fear
and other people’s predictions.
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2004.
Like so many people, I was given medication and a diagnosis -
but very little sense of what else might be possible.
So I started exploring.
Nutrition. Lifestyle. Stress. Emotions. Mindset. The nervous system. Energy. The relationship I had with my own body.
Some things helped. Some didn’t.
But the biggest shift came when I stopped looking at my body as something that needed to be controlled, fixed or fought, and started listening more deeply to what was happening underneath.
The fear.
The pressure.
The old patterns.
The parts of me that had learned to stay on high alert.
That changed everything.
My healing became less
about fighting symptoms
and more about rebuilding trust.
Over time, I began to understand that physical healing and emotional healing weren’t two completely separate worlds.
My body wasn’t betraying me.
It was responding.
And the more safety, awareness and compassion I brought into that relationship, the more things began to shift.
That experience changed not only my health, but the direction of my life.
It eventually led me away from a twenty-year corporate career and into the work I do now.
I believe deeply that there is a life beyond constantly monitoring, managing and fearing your body.
I’ve seen the moment it begins to happen in clients.
The shoulders drop. The fear loosens. They start making plans again.
They begin trusting themselves instead of checking every decision against a diagnosis.
And slowly, the person underneath all that managing starts to reappear.
That’s the part of this work I love.
Why I do this work
Not creating a perfect person with a perfect body
Helping someone feel more like themselves again
You are more than the
story your diagnosis
has written for you
There can be so much identity wrapped around illness.
What you can eat.
Where you can go.
What you dare to plan.
Whether you can trust your body tomorrow.
After a while, life can become incredibly small
without you even realising it.
My work is about helping you gently widen it again.
To understand the patterns underneath the fear.
To create more safety in your nervous system.
To release some of what you’ve been carrying.
And to reconnect with your own intuition,
possibility and inner authority.
My approach
Today, my work blends practical nervous-system support with emotional, energetic and intuitive approaches.
I use tools including EFT, HeartMath, mind-body coaching, visualisation and energy work - but I’m far less interested in giving you another list of things to do than helping you understand what your system actually needs.
There is no forced positivity here. No pretending medicine doesn’t matter. No blaming you for being unwell.
And no requirement to believe exactly what I believe.
I work with you - your experience, your story, your nervous system and what feels true for you.
