You already know what you should be doing. so Why aren't you doing it?
If you have already tried the supplements, meditation apps, spa days and read all the books but still find yourself stuck in the same patterns, the problem isn't your willpower or knowledge - it's your nervous system.
For change that lasts, you need to work with the Mind and the Body
Most advice (including coaching) focusses on the mind, working with goals, habit and mindset. if your body is stuck in a stress response, no amount of thinking or mindset work will make a change stick. You probably already knew this, but didn't realise there was a reason for it.
I work with both the body and mind, combining nervous system regulation with health, nutrition and mindset coaching, because that combination creates change that lasts.

Recovered from burnout and divorce and rebuilt my life.
Knowing Yourself is the Beginning of all wisdom.
When you know yourself deeply and live life in line with who you truly are, you gain a quiet confidence that changes how you approach life - how you make decisions, how you show up in the world and how you live.
I work with women who are ready to start making those changes. Less people pleasing, less shrinking to fit other peoples ideals and more authenticity and self confidence.
I see the pattern regularly...
You've noticed the weight gain, yet can't help but reach for a "treat", or don't notice how the food you are eating is affecting your body.
You snap at the children over something small, then spend the rest of the day feeling guilty.
You know you don't exercise enough, yet you struggle to make time for it.
You have tried everything everyone suggests - the supplements you see advertised, the books, the apps, a "self-care day" - but nothing is working and you feel as bad as ever wondering why none of the effort you have put in works.
From the outside, no-one would ever know how bad you feel, you look like you have it all together and you are always there for everyone else.
Knowing what to do was never the problem for you, it's actually doing it, consistently that feels like a struggle, and you don't know why.
Coaching is a completely confidential, judgement-free space for you to discuss what is going on, on the inside. With my support you will set goals, discover what's holding you back, learn supportive tools and have someone to hold you accountable when you need it.
Four pillars of Support.
Health & Nutrition
This isn't about another meal plan or diet. It is about understanding your patterns and why you reach for the things you know are not helping. It's also about building a healthy relationship with your body that doesn't depend on willpower.
Wellbeing
Recognising your own patterns and triggers before you are day's deep in them, feeling guilty and re-starting the cycle. True self-awareness is one of the best gifts you can give yourself to improve your health and wellness..
Nervous System
Your body holds patterns that your mind isn't even aware of in the moment. This is what most coaching misses, understanding your nervous system responses and how to change them is the way to create change that lasts.
The Safe & Sound Protocol
For when you feel stuck despite trying everything. The Safe and Sound Protocol is a clinically developed listening therapy that works with your nervous system without needing to talk through anything.
It is suitable for adults and children
My clients say..
"Coaching for what I thought was a small issue ended up changing my life."
"I am profoundly grateful for the guidance and encouragement Ali has offered me. This year my central theme has been "TRANSFORMATION" and Ali has undeniably played a key role in making that theme a reality.
"Your support was Integral and came just at the right time"

How can you support me?
I offer 1-to-1 coaching in health, wellbeing, nervous system regulation, life and where relevant, business. Ever session is tailored entirely to you and your goals.
What happens in a coaching session?
All sessions are guided by you and your goals. My role as your coach is to help guide you towards your goals.
Coaching sessions are an hour long, they aer a safe, judgement free space where you can be entirely yourself.
We will also discuss the impact on your nervous system and sometimes run through supportive nervous system regulation techniques and other holistic tools that may be beneficial to you.
How many sessions do I need?
I always recommend working with me for 12 weeks as this is how long it takes to make real change. Many clients choose to continue beyond 12 weeks.
I can't make a session, what do I do?
That's fine, just give me 24 hours and we can reschedule.
My life is so busy, how can I fit this in?
Sometimes the busiest people are the ones who benefit most from this time for themselves. In a coaching session you get clarity on what is important to you to help you prioritise your day-to-day life.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching is forward-focussed, we work toward where you want to go, not back through everything that has happened. I am however, trauma-informed and hold everything you bring with care. If I feel you need additional therapeutic support, I will always let you know.
