My journey began as a teenager when I faced and successfully recovered from a long-term critical illness. This life-changing experience ignited my passion for supporting others through the mental, emotional, and physical challenges of pain and illness towards healing and recovery.

​

Discovering ways to regulate my own nervous system through somatic techniques, exercise, diet, and meditation, I experienced profound changes — not just in the physical symptoms I was living with, but also in releasing underlying emotional stress. More recently, receiving an adult ADHD diagnosis added a new layer of understanding about how my brain and nervous system respond to stress, focus, and emotional regulation. This insight has deepened my empathy for clients navigating similar challenges. I also work with clients with ADHD through the UK Government’s Access to Work programme, providing tailored coaching to support workplace focus, stress management, and resilience.

​

I have been fortunate to spend many years living and working across Eastern and Southern Africa, immersing myself in the rich cultures of indigenous tribes and documenting their stories of wisdom for the national press. This extraordinary journey deepened my understanding of humanity’s connection to the natural world.

​

During my time in the African bush, I observed wildlife with fascination, studying their innate responses to their environment. One profound lesson I learned came from watching animals’ natural ability to reset their nervous systems. After a 'fight or flight' response, such as escaping a predator, they would instinctively shake their bodies, releasing tension and restoring balance.

This simple yet powerful act highlights something we as humans have largely forgotten: how to respond naturally to the stress in our own lives. My experiences taught me how essential it is to reconnect with this wisdom and explore effective ways to bring harmony to the mind and body — especially for those of us managing ADHD, anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation.
