I am a wellbeing and performance consultant with a thirst for adventure and a passion for helping others to perform at their best.
Having served in the RAF working in the fast-paced environment of air traffic control, I developed a love of adventure and sports. I became a mountain biking champion, and have a Master’s degree in Sports Science, winning awards for my research with extreme sports performers. My research examined why some people cope with pressure while others tend towards anxiety and fail to perform when it really matters.
I am an expert in the physiology and psychology of performance and have managed a scientific performance institute, working with elite athletes through to vulnerable clinical patients. My knowledge of the human body and the mind is exceptional, and I have been encouraging people to succeed in life and sport for over 25 years.
My special interest is in the science of fear and how our body and mind can work together to both overcome fear, and find our courage. This can be anything from having a brave conversation to binging about change on a wider scale without self-doubt limiting what you achieve, both as an individual or as a team.
My interest in physiology was also how my journey into understanding trauma and neurodiversity began. I am the parent of a child with a severe chromosomal difference and after his diagnosis I became active with the research and publications aspect of his condition, becoming a member of the board of directors, impacting research at national and international levels. I sought to understand how emotions affected behaviour and how we could help him to manage his emotions in order to advise other families and the wider neurodiverse population. Many of the methods that I share with teams to reduce anxiety and worry have been developed from this research.
I have trekked in the Sahara, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, completed many solo skydives, canoed, kayaked and cycled across, up and down and all around most of the UK. I am a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader with the British Mountaineering Council and I am always planning my next adventure. This mindset to test what is possible is part of what I bring to organisations that I partner with. I believe that fears of failure stop development from happening, with teams staying within their comfortable parameters. Removing barriers by building cultures of trust and mutual support enable people to experiment with possibilities and find out what really is possible for them.
I am also a yoga teacher, mindfulness coach, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner, Integral Eye Movement Therapy Master Practitioner and trauma-informed coach. Encouraging people to notice their felt responses to situations and reframe these can be a powerful way to improve self-belief and enable people to move towards their potential.
I’ve worked with many people who have been affected by trauma and the ways that this can change how they relate to others. All of my training and coaching is trauma-sensitive and inclusive and I share ways that team members can support the diversity of thinking, feeling and communication styles that may exist within their teams, without any need for any diagnosis of a neurological condition, or any need for anyone to disclose anything about their medical or mental health situation.
