Hello, I’m Alice… it’s good to have you here!
My mission is to help women like you uncover & heal the root cause of your symptoms & improve your emotional world. I love to help women understand their unique physiology & create a life where symptoms no longer take a leading role.
The work I do is integrative, using my skills & clinical knowledge as an RN & somatic coach alongside functional medicine and a number of restorative holistic nervous system practices.
Working with me, will not only help you understand the cause of your symptoms but will enable you to discover a more fulfilling way of being, after all, optimal health is achieved through addressing all areas of life- not just the biological parts of us.
Compassionate Wellness is not only the sum total of my learning & training to date, it is the blueprint to how I got myself well. Having suffered episodes of burnout throughout my life, it wasn’t until I started to experience chronic pain, that I began to piece together the story of my symptoms- insomnia, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, OCD, hormonal issues & IBS to name a few. Most recently a period of burnout led me to the diagnosis of adult ADHD.
Why women… and Why me?!
Did you know that up until the 1990s females were not included in clinical research trials?! Having been underrepresented for so long, we are just beginning to seek solutions that are bespoke to our physiology & our own unique experiences. When we visit our primary healthcare provider we will often leave feeling frustrated, unheard & gaslit. Unfortunately, the medical model isn’t designed to get to the root cause of chronic health complaints or hormone related ill health- this has been a huge barrier to women seeking help, especially those who suspect their condition falls between the gap of the mind & body, a place where conventional medicine doesn’t reach.
Womanhood isn’t about feeling terrible, & yet this is the programming we receive- passed on from the generations that suffered before us &
reinforced by the society we are born into. Our nervous system stores many of our personal & inherited stories which can have a massive impact on our physical & mental health. By putting ourselves first & seeking alternative healthcare opportunities now, we not only free ourselves from ill health- we begin to heal the next generation.
In my experience a robust trauma-informed approach helps to optimise Functional Medicine & this can really help restore hormonal balance, reverse chronic disease & alleviate the symptoms of a number of conditions such as ADHD, diabetes & anxiety. Through trial and error I have come to realise that these symptoms were not failures of my biology, but they weren’t “normal” either. Once I figured out there was a story behind my symptoms, that each one had something to tell me, that is when the healing work really began.
Working as a Nurse in the NHS has instilled in me the importance of healthcare access- Functional medicine & coaching can be expensive, I take pride in providing a service that is inclusive of a variety of budgets & I offer discounts to frontline workers.
