My Philosophy
Better understanding my philosophy helps you make an informed decision when choosing me as your health coach. I want to be real, authentic and passionate, giving you strong foundations to ground yourself in.
While I’ll discuss Mind, Body and Soul separately, know this: they are deeply intertwined.
You can’t nourish one without impacting the others.
Body - How do you hold yourself?
Your body is your lifelong home. It’s been through every experience with you. How you move, fuel and rest shapes everything.
In our modern world, we’ve normalized discomfort: stiff hips from sitting, aching backs from poor posture, and fatigue from ignoring our natural rhythms. Being aware of how you move conscious and subconscious is a huge part of our journey, both in and away from exercise.
We can low-key abuse our bodies until they force us to listen. We push through fatigue, ignore aches, and discomforts, until one day, our body says, no more. Strength isn’t just lifting weights; it’s resilience. Flexibility isn’t just touching your toes; it’s adapting to life’s demands without breaking.
I don’t believe in punishing workouts or restrictive diets. Instead, I help you build sustainable, loving relationship with your body, one where movement is joy, food a pleasure, and rest is non-negotiable.
…Yet the body doesn’t exist in isolation. Tight hips might reflect stored stress; shallow breathing might mirror anxiety. That’s why we must address the whole picture—because when your body thrives, your mind clears, and your soul feels grounded.
Mind - Be kind to yourself.
As we embark on our journey of physical self awareness we must also address our emotional self awareness. This really is where long lasting habits are born.
I know what it’s like to be told that progress requires serious discomfort/stress, that if it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t count. But my coaching philosophy is different. Sustainable change happens when you feel empowered, not punished.
We want to be able to regulate our nervous system. When stressed or overwhelmed it triggers our fight and flight response, flooding our body with cortisol and adrenaline. In this state your brain prioritises survival over growth, making willpower obsolete. You may crave quick fixes like sugar and scrolling, not because of a lack of discipline but because your nervous system is seeking immediate relief.
As we grow in emotional self awareness, we can create space between the emotions we feel and the actions we take. You won’t always make the best decisions but you will move in the right direction, learning from Your past and being kind to yourself.
This is why self-compassion isn’t just a nice idea, it’s the foundation of real growth. Treat yourself with the same patience and encouragement you’d offer a close friend. Celebrate small wins, smile at your progress, and trust that feeling good is not just allowed, it’s essential. Self love and compassion don’t come easy for everyone but like any muscle, we can coach it.
Soul - Authentically you.
Soul isn’t about religion; it’s about purpose, connection and alignment.
Unlike the mind, which analyses. Your body, which reacts. The soul speak to us through our intuition, our creativity and innate joy.
Your soul thrives on presence, not perfection. It doesn’t care about optimisation. It cares about connection and joy, to yourself and others.
We don’t shy away from making time for meditation, mindfulness and chanting to help settle and rebalance ourselves.
Regular spiritual awareness helps in so many ways: Movement becomes a full body experience, healthy choices emerge naturally from self-love rather than will power and we stop chases external validation and being living from our centre.
Fitness fad’s fade, quick fixes fail. But tend to mind, body and soul together and health starts to become a lifelong practise not a chore. This is the essence of holistic health. Not just a well-functioning body and mind but a soul that feels seen, heard and nourished. When all three align, we don’t just survive, we thrive.
