For many women I work with, symptoms such as anxiety, muscle tension, headaches, digestive issues, sleep disruption, and exhaustion become a constant backdrop to life. They interfere with work, family, and the many responsibilities they carry.

What’s often misunderstood is that these symptoms are not a failure of willpower or resilience. They are signs of a nervous system that has been under sustained pressure and is asking for attention.

The more we try to override them, push through, or rely on short-term “sticking plaster” solutions, the more persistent — and complex — they can become. Sustainable change begins with nervous-system regulation.

I help high-achieving women whose lives have been disrupted by anxiety, chronic pain, or fatigue to restore calm, clarity, and a sense of purpose — so they can recognise themselves again.

My Story

I know this pattern intimately.

As a straight-A student and graduate of Cambridge University, I held high standards for myself from an early age. Despite migraines, eczema flare-ups during periods of stress, and frequent fatigue, I continued to meet my own expectations — and those of my employers.

Everything changed within a short space of time: two emergency caesarean sections, the removal of my spleen, and the decision to start a business.

Within weeks, my body was screaming for attention. Chronic muscle tension and pain set in, migraines became frequent, and exhaustion was constant. But I did what many high-achieving women do — I pushed through, because that was the only strategy I knew.

Professionally, I appeared successful. My book The Ten Step Guide to Acing Every Exam You Ever Take was published and featured in The Telegraph. I launched a podcast, appeared in national media, and built a membership supporting thousands of families.

At the same time, my health was unravelling. I was in near-constant pain, diagnosed with chronic fatigue and possible fibromyalgia, highly anxious, and often impatient with the people I loved most.

The turning point came one night when I was woken by the most severe migraine I’d ever experienced. My heart was racing, my head was splitting, and it took hours to calm my body enough to sleep again.

That moment made it impossible to keep ignoring what my body was asking for.

My path back to health

I explored many mainstream and complementary approaches, but real change didn’t begin until I experienced nervous-system regulation firsthand.

Yoga nidra became a daily practice. Often described as yogic sleep, it offered deep rest and a sense of calm my body hadn’t known for years. I trained as a yoga nidra teacher to deepen both my personal healing and my understanding of the practice.

At the same time, I worked with an EFT practitioner. EFT became a powerful way to reduce anxiety, address pain, and gently process stress and trauma held in the body.

I later trained as a Hatha yoga teacher. That training was deeply healing and ultimately led me to make a significant life change: closing a business I had spent nearly ten years building.

Teaching yoga and yoga nidra locally in Welford, Northamptonshire brought a sense of fulfilment and connection I hadn’t experienced before. Alongside this, I trained as an EFT practitioner so I could support others more fully.

Today, I sleep through the night, experience only occasional headaches, and no longer rely on practices just to get through the day. My health continues to improve — and I now support other women on their own recovery journeys.

How I Work

My work is trauma-informed and integrative, combining Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), yoga, and yoga nidra to support regulation through both emotional and somatic lenses.

Rather than pushing through or trying to “fix” symptoms, I help clients:

• build safety in the body
• gently unwind stress patterns
• reconnect with steadiness, self-trust, and inner capacity

This approach is particularly supportive for women experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, chronic pain conditions, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or long Covid — especially those who are used to performing, leading, and carrying responsibility while quietly struggling.

I work primarily online, offering a personalised and supportive approach for women ready to restore nervous-system resilience and move forward with greater ease.
