Being Well Matters

Being Well Matters I teach yoga. I also coach professionals including diagnosed/self-diagnosed ND individuals eg ADHD. Identify next steps & flourish. Live out your values.

Self-Confidence, Self-Compassion & Self-Care. Beat burnout. Achieve success. Helping individuals to thrive and transforming businesses. I'm a mother, mentor, business woman, leader, business coach, therapist, Rotarian, yoga teacher, part of the Scout Movement as an Explorer Leader, and Treasurer and joint founder of Hereford City Repair Cafe. I've created successful businesses, established Boards - I’ve had the privilege to collaborate with, learn from and lead some incredible people and teams to success. In addition to helping individuals to thrive and transforming businesses, I work in the NHS caring for the carers - supporting them through traumas and shifting them from triggers to glimmers. Leadership (in both the private and the public sector) can feel like a lonely place......do you feel confident and secure enough to be yourself? to perform at your best? I'll work with you, as a trusted partner using a variety of tools and interventions, to understand your aims and your priorities. Together, we'll identify a plan and bring it to life. What's in my toolbox?
- Business coaching including executive and leadership coaching and mentoring (ILM Level 7) - AC Fellow - over 20 years experience of coaching in the private (multi-national) sector and NHS
- Therapeutic coaching and Trauma therapy including T-CBT Emotional Freedom Technique (PGC Trauma Therapy / Psycho-Traumatology) - working for the NHS supporting Doctors, Dentists and Pharmacists
- Business start up experience including Board recruitment, engagement and development
- Due diligence and governance
- Large scale recruitment and reorganisation
- Successful mergers, acquisitions and cultural alignment
- Organisational / individual mental health risk assessments
- First Aid for Mental Health - supervision and workshops - from awareness sessions to train the trainer (accredited by Nuco Training)
- Personality profiling and development assessments
- Workshops for leadership, communication skills, confidence, self-compassion, wellbeing, resilience and self-care

And to boost your personal well-being and performance
- Yoga classes (and 1:1)
- Mindfulness and meditation (Yogacharini Christine Henderson International Yoga Association Professional Member IYA/2022/YPF465)
- Clinical Reflexology including Duopody, NeuroEndoPsychoImmunoPody and Calm (for mental health & somatic healing)

You must be able to trust the person you are engaging to help you, to understand your needs and to deliver high quality work, efficiently with return on your investment. I will assess your needs in discussion with you, and ensure that my advice and delivery is tailored to achieve the best possible result for you. If I am not the right person for the job, I will tell you. No client is too big or too small in needing an expert guide - contact me for an informal chat.

Teaching yoga is a joy. Once a month I have the privilege of teaching yoga online as part of a community of practitioners supporting those experiencing trauma as a result of su***de loss. If you or someone you know is a su***de loss survivor have a look at https://su***degriefsupport.com/rebuild-community/.

Support is out there - recovery is possible, it begins with gentle self-care and the Rebuild Community will resource you with a regular, healthy dose of self-care. Support is out there, take it.

Our emotions are shaped by three systems: threat, drive, and soothing (Professor Paul Gilbert). Balanced interaction among these systems supports wellbeing.

The threat system helps protect us by reacting to danger with stress hormones, but overuse causes chronic stress.

The drive system encourages achievement and productivity......but living here nonstop can lead to burnout.

The soothing system is activated by relaxation and connection. It calms us through endorphins and oxytocin, restoring balance.

Combining drive and soothing moderates the threat response. In a busy world, intentionally engaging your soothing system is vital for health and equilibrium.

Join us at yoga to engage your soothe system through:
Deep, focused breathing
Mindfulness & meditation
Grounding
Mini-pauses - check-ins
Guided relaxation
