FOUNDER & CEO

Katie

I’m a Holistic Wellness & Positive Psychology Coach with a deep passion for empowering midlife professionals and solopreneurs to redefine success—moving beyond stress and burnout to create clarity, confidence and zest in every area of life.

I believe that true wealth isn’t just financial—it’s the richness of your health, happiness, energy, and purpose. A guiding principle in our work together, is the foundation that success should never come at the expense of your wellbeing, relationships, or passions.

That’s why I take a holistic, evidence-based approach that blends positive psychology, coaching, and wellness practices to help you rise above the chaos and reconnect with what truly matters. Together, we’ll create the space for you to breathe, reflect, and step into the clarity, confidence and zest needed to design a life that feels as good as it looks.

This is your time to thrive, not just survive. Let’s redefine what’s possible—on your terms.

I specialise in guiding my clients to:

  • Navigate stress with practical tools that foster lasting resilience.

  • Harmonise work and life through intentional boundaries and mindful routines.

  • Master time and energy to focus on what truly matters.

  • Overcome mental clutter to enhance clarity, confidence, and joy.

  • Build meaningful connections with for shared growth and inspiration.

  • Embrace change and uncertainty with grace and a renewed sense of purpose.

  • Align values with meaningful goals that drive fulfilment and success.

  • Redefine their wealth story as a holistic concept encompassing financial, physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

My

Mission

At Balanced & Blissed, my mission is to empower midlife professionals and solopreneurs to move beyond stress and chaos, redefining wealth and success with purpose, vitality, and joy. Through holistic, evidence-based coaching, I guide individuals to tap into their inner wisdom, creating clarity, resilience, and alignment in every area of life.

With a balanced approach to wellbeing, I help clients harmonise health, relationships, and success, empowering them to thrive both personally and professionally.

My

Vision

I envision a future where midlife women and men boldly reclaim their wellbeing, transforming this life stage from a time of endings into a vibrant season of new beginnings. Through a preventative, holistic approach, we’ll shift the narrative of midlife to one of empowerment, vitality, and purpose.

Midlife is not the closing of a chapter, but the opening of a profound opportunity to thrive. I am committed to ensuring that every person I work with continues to shine their light brightly in the world—living with clarity, balance, and energy until their journey is complete.

These resilient, self-aware, and purpose-driven individuals will redefine success and wealth by harmonising physical, mental, and spiritual vitality. Together, we’ll help them step fully into their authentic power, creating legacies of inspiration and transformation that uplift their families, communities, and beyond.

By fostering a culture of flourishing, where emotional, financial, and mental wealth are accessible to all, we can build a thriving and harmonious world—one where generations to come are guided by balance, vitality, and purpose.

"Life is about exploration, discovery and curiosity. But also, about finding a love so deep for yourself that forgiveness, compassion and empathy, becomes part of your spirit."

How it all started...

I have had several careers in my 44+ years on the planet; retail assistant, mental health rehabilitation worker, college teacher and holistic massage, movement and wellbeing practitioner. What I've learnt throughout these years of work, is that without the foundational pieces of wellbeing in place, success either doesn't come, or comes at too much of a cost to enjoy it. Combine this realisation with some tough personal challenges and soul searching, I was drawn to the power of Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, leading to today and becoming a Holistic Wellness & Positive Psychology Coach!

I am drawn to living a life that has zest, play and purpose as it's driving force. I am blessed to have fought my way through PND, GAD, business success and loss, disabling health anxiety; and many battles of the heart and soul; bountiful with hardship and many mistakes (or growth edges as we coaches like to call them!).

Some fun facts about me...

When I was at a uni night out in 2000, I was asked to be a podium dancer for The Ministry Of Sound by a talent scout.

I didn't have my first child until I was 34, my second was born in the height of Covid just a few days before my 40th birthday!

I've lost count, but I think I have over 35 certifications! Yet, love of learning is not in my top strengths!

I love the positive effects of sea dipping, but absolutely hate going in the sea. I still do it though, with grit and determination!

At the age of 43, I secured an allotment plot. A dream of mine for 20 years! I hope it makes my long departed, allotment loving, grandfather proud and is a wonderful thriving organic edible space!

Coffee, without a shadow of a doubt, is a soul mate of mine. I make it work for my mental and physical health (I am good at biohacking lol) and own 2 Nespresso machines.
