PERSONAL & BUSINESS COACH

Give yourself the opportunity to view things from a new perspective.

I offer focused challenge and reflection to enable you to identify your true priorities and needs.

Working together we can build a plan of action to bring about the transformational change you seek.

Healthy Lifestyle Coaching

Whether it’s losing weight, toning up or gaining fitness you’re after, and whether it’s for health, increased confidence or to achieve a new goal, I can help. 

My education in Sports Science and Human Nutrition, plus years of experience in the Food and Healthcare industries, means I understand the science (and pseudo-science) of healthy living.

I also lead a physically demanding lifestyle, focused around sport, exercise and martial arts, so I understand first-hand the benefits of staying healthy and the constraints of doing so.

Where relevant I can offer insight and guidance on healthy living, but I honestly believe the crux of achieving your goals is to determine what you really want alongside life’s other pressures. I can then help you unpick the barriers that hinder your progress and shape a lifestyle plan.

Personal Coaching

Do you feel driven to make a change?

You may not know what to change or why, but feel compelled to do something different and need a fresh, external perspective to help you focus.

Or perhaps you have a specific goal you are working towards such as a new job, new home or a new personal challenge and feel you are not making the progress you want. 

Whether it’s direct coaching on how to achieve your goals or explorative work into what you want and why, I can provide an open-minded, reflective and positively challenging environment to help you discover the right path for you.

Business Coaching

Are you just starting out with a new private venture?  Trying to take your business to the next level?  Or looking to optimise ways of working in an established organisation or team?

​

Working across the spectrum, from private SME, to academic institute, to global corporation, over the last 10 years has given me invaluable insight into the common and specific challenges faced within businesses. 

I've seen many pitfalls to avoid and easy wins to seek. 

​

Whether working with individuals, teams or yourself, I can help you identify what is stopping you from functioning at your best, help you determine what it is you really want to achieve and map out what changes need to be put in place to achieve it.

Business Consulting

I provide direct training and support in a number of areas associated with end to end product development and the nutrition market.

​

Working within the food and nutrition industry for over 10 years in Marketing, Innovation, Technical, Project Management and Product Development roles has given me the opportunity to create, develop and launch many new products and brands.

My experience has taught me the criticality of communicating complex science simply, whilst utilising robust tools for product appraisal and delivery in order to generate, shortlist and develop the most viable business opportunities.

​

I offer businesses support in the following areas:

​

The Science of Nutrition

​

Ideation and Concept Creation

Project Set Up

End to End Product Development

​

About Me

I have a passion for human development and love to help people achieve their potential, be it individually or as part of a team.

I've always felt compelled to work with people and have found myself drawn to coaching and mentoring throughout my career.  Therefore, having worked in a variety of business environments for over 10 years I decided to follow my heart, trained as a coach and set up my own business.

I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC)

and member of the International Coach Federation.

I am also a member of the Nutrition Society

and the Royal Society of Medicine. 

I have a degree in Sport Science (BSc), a masters in Human Nutrition (MMedSci) and am a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr).
