Hi, I’m Katy. I’m a UK-based certified functional medicine health coach and EFT practitioner. I’ve helped hundreds of clients become healthier and happier with incredible results but I’ve been that overwhelmed mid-lifer, suffering from burnout and not knowing where to turn next.
Like most people who are passionate about healthcare and helping others, I too was chronically ill and my desperate need to get well led me to health coaching. For most of my life, I had issues with my lungs, skin and joints and I’d always struggled with my mental health.
The deaths of my beloved grandparents in 2006 and 2007 were the final straw, my catalyst to burnout. Prolonged physical and mental stress led me to feel helpless, overwhelmed and alone. I’d hit rock bottom...and was desperate to climb back up.
In 2014, I was introduced to a functional medicine doctor who changed my life. By this point, the skin on my hands was so raw and painful that I couldn’t sleep, wash or even think straight. I’d seen plenty of medical professionals and had every test under the sun but nothing was working.
It was during my consultation with this functional medicine doctor where she asked me about my childhood, my career and my relationships. It was then that I truly realised there was so much more to work on than just managing my symptoms, that I needed to understand the root cause.
That lightbulb moment changed the course of my life. For several years, I had wanted to change my career to focus on helping people and making a difference in their lives but didn’t know what that could look like. I found that passion by training as a health coach with the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in 2019 and I’ve never looked back. It was the most amazing year of learning, inspiration and community and once I graduated in September 2020, I went straight into health coaching, in both private practice and at the functional medicine clinic where I had once been a patient.
I’ve supported hundreds of clients to make lifestyle changes around nutrition, exercise, relaxation, sleep and connection and it is truly the most rewarding job in the world! It’s such a privilege to be able to watch them grow happier, healthier and more empowered. I’ve also made radical changes to my own life and so I can empathise when clients are feeling overwhelmed or confused.
