Katie

I am an Integrated Wellbeing & Coaching Practitioner — holding space for people to slow down, listen inward, and live differently.

Through integrated wellbeing, coaching, therapeutic bodywork, and applied positive psychology, I help people reconnect with their own clarity, restore their foundations, and find their way back to a life that feels genuinely joyful and their own. The client is always the magic. I hold the toolbox.

In my coaching and mentoring work, I work with people who are tired of waiting — for the right moment, the right circumstances, the right version of themselves. People who have given their time, energy, health, purpose, and passion to everyone and everything else, and somewhere along the way quietly stopped giving to themselves. This is the journey from overwhelm into joy.

In my massage and restoration work, I work with sports people, office workers, and everyday humans who want to move better, ease discomfort, and take precious time out for themselves.

Every person who walks through my door tends to want the same thing at their core — to align with deep health, wellbeing, purpose, passion, and a joyful life as their foundation, knowing that everything else follows when that is worked on first.

I believe that true wealth isn't just financial — it is the richness of your health, happiness, energy, and purpose. A guiding principle in my work is this: success should never come at the expense of wellbeing, relationships, or the things that light you up.

That is why I take a holistic, evidence-based approach — creating the space to breathe, reflect, and step back into the health, energy, and joy that is already within you.

I take my work seriously. I do not, however, take myself too seriously. There is laughter in my treatment room, humour in my coaching sessions, and a genuine belief that joy is not the reward for doing the work — it is part of how the work gets done. If you want someone who will hold you with care, challenge you with honesty, and laugh with you through the hard bits — you might just be in the right place.

Not a new life. The one that was always yours.

I specialise in guiding my clients to:

  • Build deep health and foundational wellbeing as the bedrock of everything else — not an afterthought, but the starting point.

  • Navigate stress and overwhelm with practical, evidence-based tools that create genuine and lasting resilience.

  • Set boundaries that actually hold — and build rhythms and routines that nourish rather than drain.

  • Reclaim their time and energy for what truly matters, rather than what is simply urgent.

  • Clear the mental noise and step into greater clarity, confidence, and joy.

  • Build and deepen the connections that genuinely sustain them.

  • Move through change and uncertainty with more grace and less fear — finding the possibility in the pivot.

  • Align how they live with what they actually value — not what they think they should want.

  • Redefine what wealth really means to them — beyond the financial, into the physical, emotional, purposeful, and joyful

My

Mission

At Balanced & Blissed, my approach is proactive, preventative, and whole person; because I believe true wellbeing is something you build before you need it, not after. Rooted in positive psychology, coaching psychology, and 18+ years of holistic wellbeing practice, I work with people who have given everything to everyone else and lost themselves in the process.

The client is always the magic. I hold the toolbox; the evidence based foundations, the integrated bodywork, the carefully held space - so they can find their own clarity and their way back to who they really are.

Together we slow down, rebuild from the inside out, and create a life grounded in deep health, genuine joy, and sustainable success.

This is the journey from overwhelm into joy.

My

Vision

A future where people boldly reclaim their wellbeing — transforming seasons of depletion into opportunities to rise with renewed vitality, purpose, and joy.

Guided by a preventative, holistic approach and grounded in evidence based science, I want to reshape the narrative of overwhelm and burnout into one of wisdom, energy, and empowered new beginnings. Because when we build a culture of flourishing; where emotional, physical, and energetic vitality are genuinely accessible — we create a future guided not by fear or depletion, but by strength, clarity, and love.

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

How it all started...

I have had several careers in my 46 years on this planet — retail assistant, mental health rehabilitation worker, college lecturer, and holistic massage, movement and wellbeing practitioner. What I have learned throughout those years, across every role and every room I've worked in, is that without the foundational pieces of wellbeing and deep health in place, success in any area of life either doesn't come — or comes at too great a cost to enjoy.

That realisation didn't arrive quietly. It came through some tough personal challenges and a significant amount of soul searching. I have been blessed to fight my way through postnatal depression, generalised anxiety, business success and loss, and a disabling health anxiety that once made ordinary life feel impossible — bountiful with hardship and more than a few mistakes (or growth edges, as we coaches like to call them).

It was curiosity — about what actually works, and why — that led me to the power of Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. And that curiosity, combined with 18 years of hands-on holistic practice, is what led me here: to becoming an Integrated Wellbeing & Coaching Practitioner.

I am drawn to a life with vitality, play, and purpose as its driving force — with deep health and foundational wellbeing as the essential underpinning to every part of it. That is what a Balanced & Blissed life looks and feels like to me.

And it is precisely because I have lived the other version — depleted, lost, giving everything and running on empty — that I know this work matters. I am not standing at the top of a mountain telling you how to climb. I am someone who found their way back, built something solid, and now holds the space for others to do the same.

The client is always the magic. I just hold the toolbox.

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).
