The Stress Anchor.
Break free from chronic stress & reclaim your energy
High touch ‘in the moment’ coaching support which holds you steady whilst you navigate life
Introducing The Stress Anchor
An innovative coaching method which creates a continuous flow of support and guidance.
The Stress Anchor is a transformational voice note experience which meets you exactly where you are - stressed, exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, overthinking and approaching burnout - and provides the expert guidance you need without adding another scheduled commitment to stress about.
Change is not sustainable without addressing the root causes. The signs of burnout aren't always obvious when you've been feeling this way for months or years. You know you need support, but finding time and energy feels impossible, so you keep pushing through ignoring the whispers from your body until they become so loud you are forced to stop.
Reclaim your energy
My Mind Body Energy framework - The Stress Spectrum™ is an energy first approach. Change is hard when you are running on empty so we start by replenishing and restoring your physical, cognitive and emotional health.
This coaching approach is perfect for the guidance, support and accountability needed to restore natural energy levels so that you can then start to explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours which have brought you here.
Responsive & flexible support when you need it most
This isn't traditional coaching that adds another burden to your overwhelming schedule. When you're already giving everything to others, you need support that adapts to your reality.
You get gentle accountability that honours where you actually are, with intentional feedback, thoughtful questions, and reflections that create space for deeper insights. You will also get access to tools to rebuild your frazzled nervous system.
Your voicenotes and emails become a lifeline you can access whenever you find those precious moments - during early morning coffee, on walks with the dog, during lunch breaks, or weekend moments when you finally have space to breathe.
This integrated approach empowers you to:
Understand your unique stress patterns and triggers
Build a personalised stress management toolkit
Create sustainable habits that protect your energy
Develop nervous system regulation skills
Transform your relationship with stress from surviving to thriving
Model healthy stress management for your family
This is the emotional support and practical guidance I wished I’d had when I experienced burnout in 2021.
This is for you if…
You know you need some support you just haven’t got the headspace to figure out what you need and struggle to commit to regular uninterrupted Zoom calls
You're going through a challenging time which is driving chronic stress - major life changes, relationship challenges, work pressures, health concerns or the complexity of parenting struggles
You want ongoing support, someone to walk alongside you - not just weekly check-ins
You want holistic support that looks at all aspects of your wellbeing - physical, mental and emotional health
You want personalised stress strategies, not one size fits all solutions
You prefer voice communication for deeper, more authentic and reflective sharing
You're committed to change but need guidance that works around your responsibilities
You need support to integrate sustainable nourishing and restorative practices into your life

The Stress Spectrum™ Holistic Mind Body Energy Approach to Stress Resilience.
Energy is your most vital resource
Deep, lasting transformation requires energy, so we begin by replenishing and restoring your physical, cognitive and emotional health.
My approach is based on energy - how to create it, sustainably nurture it, compassionately protect it and mindfully replenish it.
Integrated, holistic support
Stress resilience requires an integrated approach that addresses all root causes of stress in your life.
The Stress Spectrum™, my Mind Body Energy framework, is a fully integrated approach that supports a deep exploration of the complete spectrum of stress in your life - everything that's quietly draining your precious energy and keeping you stuck in chronic overwhelm.
This holistic whole person approach is based on the interconnectedness of the mind, beliefs, thoughts and emotions on the stress response, nervous system and physical body.
Designed to empower you to create sustainable habits and practices that both restore and protect your energy.
More details about my approach are here.
Why this works.
Stress Relief.
Stress clouds your thinking. Voice notes let you listen, absorb and respond when your nervous system is calm enough to actually receive support. No pressure to be ‘on’ or articulate when you're overwhelmed.
Borrow my Calm - Hearing a calm, supportive voice during stressful times helps regulate your nervous system and creates space for different choices. The personal connection creates safety, allowing your body to move out of fight-or-flight mode.
Process your stress - voicing out a situation, a challenge or an issue in the moment captures the essence of it and actually helps to process the stress. Much like journalling this verbal processing helps to unload the stress and bring about a sense of calm in the moment, allowing you to move on with your day knowing that you’ll be heard and supported.
Real Life.
Your stress doesn't just happen at work, it happens in traffic, during the school run, family dinners. Voice note coaching meets you where your stress actually lives, making the guidance immediately relevant and actionable.
Chronic stress can impact the brain function/memory so often the real challenges go missed in scheduled coaching sessions. This style of coaching is responsive and works with the brain rather than against it.
Bespoke to you and your needs.
The last thing you need is another appointment to stress about. Your support comes to you - in your car, during walks, whenever you have a few quiet minutes. No calendars, no rushing to sessions, no guilt about cancelling when life explodes.
Every message addresses your specific stress triggers, your unique life circumstances, and your individual stress responses. This isn't generic stress management - it's a bespoke support package designed for your reality.
This type of coaching works particularly well with reflective, highly sensitive or neurodiverse individuals who prefer time to process, reflect and respond.

What it is….
Voicenote/email messaging access
Receive expert guidance and support when you need it most. Share challenges, insights, reflections.
A 60-minute Zoom session
We’ll meet for a conversation to discuss your challenges and how I can support you.
A calm, reassuring presence for 3+ months
My Mind Body Energy approach goes beyond surface level solutions - together we explore the root causes of stress - physical, mental and emotional. Changing the thoughts, feelings and behaviours which drive stress takes time. This is a commitment to embed new ways of being which are sustainable and supportive of your energy.
Build your stress toolkit
I'll regularly share tools and practices which help to manage stress. Nutritional advice to support your body and brain to recover from chronic stress. I'll also share information (where appropriate) about the nervous system, eating psychology, alcohol free living.
A collaboration
This is a a supportive and empowering partnership. A non-judgemental, compassionate, safe space to explore your challenges.
The free flowing conversation is responsive to your needs and is designed to capture challenges, insights and reflections in the moment.
Self directed
The prompts, feedback, reflective exercises and resources aim to create a self directed learning environment. Providing deeper self awareness and equipping you to navigate future challenges independently and with confidence.
The investment

What it isn’t…
Not therapy
This isn't therapy or crisis support, it's a supportive partnership which is designed to restore your energy and move you forward.
Boundaries
Although you are free to message me at anytime I will only respond during my specified coaching hours.
My role as a coach is to model the behaviours which are supportive of sustained energy and burnout prevention, one of those is to lovingly hold boundaries. A lack of boundaries and being driven by people pleasing behaviours is a cause of burnout, so we will explore these during our time together.
The journey is yours to take
I'm not here to 'fix' everything for you, I'm here to empower you to access your inner resources and build your confidence.
It is designed to empower you to fully participate in your transformation. The journey is yours to take, I will walk alongside you and provide expert support and guidance, but change comes from inside of you. It comes from you taking action, from taking responsibility and accountability for the change.
My 12 week coaching programme is more of a structured coaching experience, this is a high touch ‘in the moment’ support. We start with replenishing your energy and from there the direction is yours to chose. This support package will of course naturally lead into more comprehensive coaching support if you would like more face to face support.
After two decades as a Leader within Education and Corporate organisations I now support professionals to break free from stress, overwhelm and burnout by building physical, mental and emotional resilience.
I support individuals to identify the sources of their stress and make sustainable mindset and behavioural changes to create a calmer, more balanced work-life experience without sacrificing their own wellbeing.
Through a mind body energy approach I support professionals to replenish, reclaim and restore their energy.
