My Journey into Lifestyle Medicine
My Journey into Lifestyle Medicine
Like many healthcare workers during the pandemic, I was working too many hours - both low staffing levels and high demand drove me to work multiple jobs from ICU, to the only respiratory cover in a community discharge team, to weekend bank cover on medical wards and rehab on weekends for the little elective surgery that was able to go ahead.

Working on adrenaline, with very little sleep, picking up food on the go & not spending much time with my family it was no wonder that I started becoming disoriented and distanced from my wider support system. I had 2 close weddings during this time and I was disengaged, not able to disconnect a celebration from the heartbreak of lives lost in the pandemic - both patients and colleagues.

Both my physical health and mental health were falling to pieces.

I still remember that time when my body physically refused to get up and go in, I’d hit that brick wall and I was forced to rest, I couldn’t carry on and my mind, body & soul were unanimous in that decision.

Shortly after I handed in my notice after 20+ years in the NHS, the pension wasn't worth sacrificing my own health for.

Working during this time I had seen first-hand the impact of inflammatory lifestyles on survival rates and I had witnessed the breakdown of my own physical and mental health. I needed to feel better and I wanted the world to feel better and more empowered taking ownership of their health and vitality. I started my journey to never be a statistic in the health (sick) care system and to help others do the same.

I retrained as a Health Coach because my passion is in helping people transform their health - to do this by embedding simple routines and habits to pivot from living in survival mode to flourishing and operating in peak health and performance.

The aim: to step away from today's inflammatory lifestyle, embrace the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine and enjoy a healthy, more vibrant, more fulfilling life.
