Trauma-Informed Emotional Regulation Specialist | Corporate Wellbeing Facilitator | Hypnotherapist | NLP & Mindfulness Practitioner

With over a decade of experience as a Registered Nurse and Senior Research Nurse, I bring deep compassion, clinical expertise, and a strong foundation of care to every client I work with.

Through my private practice, Health & Mind Co, and my work with The Mental Health and Wellbeing Company, I guide individuals to reconnect with themselves, to create that positive ripple effect, and help workplaces create emotionally healthy, resilient cultures.
