About me
Formerly a Senior Policy Advisor to the UK government, I used to negotiate International trade deals with the Department of International Trade, securing first-class agreements with global economic leaders such as Singapore and India. From this I learnt to crunch swathes of information and spot the more subtle connections in evidence with which I was presented. Little did I know this was going to be the skill that saved me from years of debilitating chronic migraine (how I was able to sustain such a career with chronic migraine I do not know – we migraine sufferers are warriors).
I had chronic migraines for several years, and at their worst I was in bed with one every other day at a 9/10 pain level. I was miserable and imprisoned by my own body.
After years of dedicated research into the field of migraines with the little spare energy I had, and hours of work with top- class physicians and practitioners in London, I learnt how to identify the underlying causes of migraines.
I subsequently learnt how to address them, with a lot of trial and error over the years.
Finally I managed to prevent them from coming, and I now live a joyfully pain-free life without limitations. In a way I am lucky that my migraines were so bad – I learnt I had multiple things causing my migraines – because I’ve really been able to understand the breadth of migraine causes; I think it’s this that has given me such success in helping people overcome their migraines where others have been limited in their ability to help.
Once I discovered I had the gift of teaching people how to overcome their migraines, I could no longer wholeheartedly do my government policy work knowing I could be of such service to migraine sufferers.
In order to deliver my knowledge to the highest standard and in a secure environment, I became a fully-qualified life coach, certified by the board Achology. My training is accredited by the CPD Standards Office.
My ability to teach others to heal their migraines came from my own lived experience over 10 years; it’s for this reason I serve as a coach and broker. With the Root Cause Method I developed, I provide a migraine-focused perspective to help you identify the variables in your life contributing to migraines, and spot subtle connections that a physician from a single medical discipline may miss (as regards complex functional conditions, it is unfortunate that Western medicine fractures the body/disciplines in this way).
I provide expertise to prioritise what to address, and the accountability to implement necessary, manageable changes. Where it becomes apparent we need scientific evidence or professional medical support to assist your migraine recovery, I will always strive to refer you to the top consultants in their field. If you work with a specific insurance policy we will build a strategy to get you seeing the best practitioners within the context of your policy.
Consultants I have previously worked with include, but are not limited to: neurologists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and alternative health practitioners such as dieticians, osteopaths, chiropractors, and acupuncturists
Migraines are complex and affect all aspects of your life.
But I believe that everyone deserves to live free from pain and limitation and I am dedicated to realising this existence for as many people as possible.
I will not give up on your freedom even if you have given up on this yourself.
