A Journey of Discovery and Healing
My path to becoming a coach was paved by a deep belief in personal transformation. Like many, I found myself at a crossroads in my twenties. Books like Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and You Can Heal Your Life inspired a solo adventure from Asia to Australia—a profound journey of self-discovery that truly shaped who I am.
Later, when faced with personal illness, my focus shifted to healing from within. This experience highlighted the critical role of nourishing food and a positive mindset, sparking a genuine desire to empower other women to take exceptional care of their health and well-being by balancing the connections between the mind, gut and body.
Expertise for Your Unique Journey
I firmly believe that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. I bring a rich, varied background to our work:
Nutritional Therapy and a passion for gut-friendly nourishment.
Emotional Coaching to help gently release trapped emotions and unlock full potential.
Samba Spirit from performing, teaching samba dance, and particpating in many embodiment dance sessions. I created my signature Move in Flow sessions, which incorporate over two decades of experience leading workshops and helping women find their confidence through uplifting movement.
Guiding You Through Crossroads and Loss
My work is centred on creating a safe, supportive space for women seeking profound, positive change. This now includes co-hosting transformative retreats that provide essential support:
Grief & Loss Retreats: Creating a nurturing environment to help women process, navigate, and move forward with grief and loss.
Crossroads Retreat Days: Guiding women who are at a major crossroads in life to connect with their deep inner wisdom and find the clarity and courage to finally start living the dreams they had put on hold.
The She's Got Guts® Philosophy
As founder of She's Got Guts®, my mission is to champion your well-being, inside and out. My commitment is to be the best support I can be on your unique journey, whether through group workshops, personal one-to-one coaching, or my inspiring online community.
I draw daily inspiration from my life in Cornwall and my passion for travel often takes me on many an adventure. This sparks ideas for workshops and delicious gut friendly recipes. And yes, I am also a devotee of toxin-free skincare (a Neal's Yard Remedies champion since 1981!), because what we put on our skin is just as important as what we nourish ourselves with from within.
My Facebook community is a haven for like-minded women seeking support and a healthy dose of inspiration. Join us here – let's get to know each other and unleash those inner fires together.

"When we are truly free to express ourselves, we feel the joy within us and others see us shine, That is what I want for you"
