About me
Before migraine coaching, I was trained to solve complex, high-stakes problems.
As a Trade Negotiator and Senior Policy Advisor to the UK Government, I negotiated international trade agreements and analyzed vast amounts of dense, often contradictory information.
My job was to spot hidden patterns, make subtle connections, and determine which details actually moved the needle.
I had no idea at the time that I would eventually use those exact analytical skills to crack the code on chronic migraine.
For years, I lived trapped in chronic migraine.
At my worst, I was confined to a dark room every other day with 9/10 pain – all while trying to sustain a demanding corporate career.
I knew what it felt like to plan life around pain, fear the next attack, and wonder how a condition supposedly “in my head” could wreak such havoc across my entire body.
Eventually, that frustration turned into an investigation, which ultimately changed my life.
I stopped viewing my head in isolation and started mapping the whole system: nutrition, hormones, gut health, nervous system regulation, sleep, and physical tension.
Some variables mattered enormously. Others turned out to be expensive red herrings.
But as I systematically lowered my body’s overall strain, things began to shift. I went from 15+ severe migraine days a month to living fully again – not through a miracle cure, but by finally understanding the system beneath the symptoms.
I spent years learning how to join the dots in my own migraines. Now, I help my clients achieve in months what took me years to figure out.
Today, I help people understand why their body’s response makes sense.
True relief isn’t just about accumulating a longer list of triggers to avoid. Stress, hormones, diet, travel, sleep, and neck strain all play a role, but the real question is:
Why has your nervous system become so sensitive that simple triggers tip you into an attack?
That is what we investigate together. I map your full health history to pinpoint which systems are out of balance and leaving you sensitive to migraines, prioritise what needs attention first, and build a recovery plan that fits your actual life.
Depending on your profile, our focus might involve:
Physiological drivers: Gut health, hormonal imbalances, or nutritional gaps
Structural & Neurological factors: Nervous system regulation, sleep quality, or neck tension
Lifestyle strain: Chronic stress, perfectionism, or years of pushing through fatigue
Two people can have identical pain and require completely different recovery roadmaps. My role is to connect those dots so you can stop endlessly researching and start recovering.
To provide the highest standard of care, I am a fully qualified life coach, certified by the Board of Achology and accredited by the CPD Standards Office.
Because chronic migraine is a complex condition spanning multiple body systems, lasting recovery often requires input from more than one discipline. When deeper investigation is needed, I collaborate with a trusted network of highly qualified medical professionals to help streamline your testing, treatment, and specialist care.
Where medical input will accelerate your progress, I can connect you with top consultants, coordinate targeted testing, or help you navigate your private health insurance to access the best care within your policy.
Practitioners I regularly work alongside include neurologists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, and psychologists, as well as dietitians, osteopaths, chiropractors, and acupuncturists.
I want you to receive the right support – not just my support.
The goal is bigger than fewer migraine days.
It is being able to make plans without automatically wondering whether your head will ruin them.
Travelling without treating every change in routine like a threat.
Eating without feeling that every ingredient needs investigating.
Working, exercising, socialising and living without constantly calculating what your body might tolerate.
My mission is not to teach your how to build a smaller life around migraine.
It is to help your body become resilient enough for your life to get bigger again.
