Heart Centred, Coastal Loving & Rebel Spirited...
Founder
Katie
I am an Integrated Wellbeing & Coaching Practitioner where I hold space to slow down, listen inward, and live differently. Through integrated wellbeing, coaching, therapeutic bodywork, and applied positive psychology, I guide people to reconnect with their inner wisdom, restore balance, and rediscover a deeper sense of joy and meaning. Through my coaching, I work with people who have sacrificed their time, energy, health, purpose and passion chasing the 'shoulds', rather than what they truly want. In my massage & restoration work I work with sports people, office workers and everyday humans who want to move better, ease discomfort and take precious time out for them. Every person that walks through my door tend to want to align to deep health, wellbeing, purpose, passion and a joyful life as their foundations - knowing the rest will happen if that is worked on first.
I believe that true wealth isn’t just financial, it’s the richness of your health, happiness, energy, and purpose. A guiding principle in my work, is the foundation that success should never come at the expense of wellbeing, relationships, or passions.
That’s why I take a holistic, evidence based approach to help clients rise above the chaos and reconnect with what truly matters. Together, we create the space to breathe, reflect, and step into the health, energy and joy they deserve! Designing a life that feels as good as it looks.
I specialise in guiding my clients to:
Create space, deep health and foundational wellbeing as the pillars of their life.
Navigate stress with practical tools that foster lasting resilience.
Harmonise work and life through intentional boundaries and mindful routines.
Master time and energy to focus on what truly matters.
Overcome mental clutter to enhance clarity, confidence, and joy.
Build meaningful connections for shared growth and inspiration.
Embrace change and uncertainty with grace and a renewed sense of purpose.
Align values with meaningful goals that drive fulfilment and success.
Redefine their wealth story as a holistic concept encompassing financial, physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

My
Mission
At Balanced & Blissed, my approach is proactive, preventative, and whole person — because true wellbeing is something you build before you need it, not after. Rooted in positive psychology, coaching psychology, and 18 years of holistic wellbeing practice, I work with people who have given everything to everyone else and lost themselves in the process. Together we slow down, rebuild from the inside out, and create a life grounded in deep health, genuine joy, and sustainable success.
"Life is about exploration, discovery and curiosity. But also, about finding a love so deep for yourself that forgiveness, compassion and empathy, becomes part of your spirit."

How it all started...
I have had several careers in my 45+ years on the planet; retail assistant, mental health rehabilitation worker, college lecturer and holistic massage, movement and wellbeing practitioner. What I've learnt throughout these years of work, is that without the foundational pieces of wellbeing and deep health in place, success in any part of our lives either doesn't come, or comes at too much of a cost to enjoy it. Combine this realisation with some tough personal challenges and soul searching, I was curious to the power of Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, leading to today and becoming an Integrative Wellbeing & Coaching Practitioner!
I am drawn to living a life that has vitality, play and purpose as it's driving force, with deep health and foundational wellbeing an essential underpinning to every aspect of living a Balanced & Blissed life. I am blessed to have fought my way through PND, GAD, business success and loss, disabling health anxiety; and many battles of the body, heart and soul; bountiful with hardship and many mistakes (or growth edges as we coaches like to call them!).
Some fun facts about me...
When I was at a uni night out in 2000, I was asked to be a podium dancer for The Ministry Of Sound by a talent scout.
I didn't have my first child until I was 34, my second was born in the height of Covid just a few days before my 40th birthday!
I've lost count, but I think I have over 35 certifications! Yet, love of learning is not in my top strengths!
I love the positive effects of sea dipping, but absolutely hate going in the sea. I still do it though, with grit and determination!
At the age of 43, I secured an allotment plot. A dream of mine for 20 years! I hope it makes my long departed, allotment loving, grandfather proud and is a wonderful thriving organic edible space!
Coffee, without a shadow of a doubt, is a soul mate of mine. I make it work for my mental and physical health (I am good at biohacking lol).
