FOUNDER & CEO

Katie

I’m a Holistic Coach & Wellbeing Practitioner (Positive Psychology focused) with a deep passion for empowering midlife professionals and solopreneurs to redefine success—moving beyond stress and burnout to create clarity, confidence and vitality 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 psychology, and evidenced based wellbeing 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 health, energy and joy you deserve! Designing 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 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 help midlife professionals and soul-led solopreneurs rise above stress and overwhelm — redefining success on their own terms, with clarity, vitality, and purpose at the heart.

Rooted in positive psychology, nervous system wisdom, and holistic wellbeing, my coaching and therapeutic work supports deep transformation — guiding clients back to their inner wisdom so they can feel strong, calm, and aligned in every area of life.

With a balanced, whole-person approach, I help you harmonise health, relationships, and sustainable success — so you can thrive personally and professionally, from the inside out. It's time to reclaim health, energy and JOY as central parts of our daily lives!

My

Vision

I envision a future where midlife women and men boldly reclaim their wellbeing — transforming this season from a story of endings into a sacred opportunity to rise with renewed vitality, purpose, and joy.

Guided by a preventative, holistic approach and grounded in evidence-based science, we will reshape the narrative of midlife into one of wisdom, energy, and empowered new beginnings.

Midlife is not the closing of a chapter — it’s the threshold to your most meaningful, powerful work. I believe this stage holds the potential for profound clarity, balance, and personal transformation.

I am committed to helping those I work with continue to shine their light brightly — living with resilience, self-awareness, and authentic purpose well into the decades ahead.

Together, we are cultivating a new generation of sages: individuals who redefine success and wealth by harmonising physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. As they rise, they inspire others — creating ripples of transformation that elevate families, communities, and the world around them.

Because when we foster a culture of flourishing, where emotional, financial, and energetic vitality are accessible to all, we shape a future guided not by fear or depletion — but by strength, wisdom, and love.

"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 vitality, play and purpose as it's driving force, for my foundational wellbeing is an essential underpinning to every aspect of living a Balanced & Blissed life. 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.
