How I came to do this work
For most of my adult life, I was very good at pushing through.
​
I trained and qualified as a solicitor, built a demanding professional life and held myself to a high standard in every area (work, achievement, discipline, productivity). On the outside, I looked capable and resilient. Inside, my body was struggling to keep up.
​
Stress showed up in ways I didn’t immediately recognise as stress.
My energy was inconsistent. My relationship with food became reactive. I swung between restriction and overeating. My menstrual cycle became increasingly debilitating (I experienced severe PMS / PMDD). Rest felt unproductive, so I avoided it.
​
Eventually, my body asked for more than I was willing to give. And I had to step away.
​
Leaving law wasn’t a failure. It was the first time I stopped long enough to actually listen. I began to understand how years of sustained pressure, emotional suppression, overwork and control had shaped my health. And how much of that was normalised for women in demanding professions, especially law.
​
That period away became a turning point. I focused on healing my relationship with food, supporting my nervous system, restoring my menstrual cycle and learning how to live in a body that wasn’t constantly bracing for the next demand.
​
Over time, I returned to law. Not by becoming “stronger”, but by becoming more attuned. Today, I practise law alongside health coaching, with steadier energy, clearer boundaries and a far more respectful relationship with my body.
​
That matters because I don’t support women from theory alone.
I support them from lived experience.
Why this work matters to me
A core motivation behind my work is long-term women’s health. Particularly for women who want demanding, meaningful careers and the option of motherhood in the future.
​
As I moved through my late twenties, I became increasingly aware of the tension many women live with: balancing professional ambition, biological reality, relationships and the quiet pressure of timelines that aren’t always spoken about.
​
I didn’t want to sacrifice my health now and pay for it later with fertility challenges, burnout or a body that no longer felt like home. I wanted to give myself the best possible foundation for pregnancy, recovery and motherhood one day, while still showing up fully in my career.
​
That intention shaped how I approached healing my menstrual cycle, emotional eating patterns, stress response and recovery. It also shapes how I work with clients.
​
My approach is holistic, but grounded. Preventative, not extreme. We look at how stress, nutrition, sleep, hormones, work demands and recovery interact. And we respond early, gently and proportionately.
​
This work isn’t about fixing yourself or striving for an ideal. It’s about learning to listen to your body, understanding what it’s responding to and creating a way of living and working that feels sustainable now, and for the life you want in the future.
​
If you’ve been coping well but can sense the cost underneath, I want you to know there is another way forward.
My Qualifications and Training
Mental Health First Aider
MHFA England
2023
This training equips me to recognise the early signs of mental health distress, approach conversations with care and confidence and signpost appropriately when specialist or medical support is needed. It supports safe, ethical boundaries within my coaching work.
Holistic Health Coach Training
Institute for Integrative Nutrition
2022 to 2023
My training at IIN provided a broad, integrative foundation in nutrition, health and lifestyle coaching. The programme emphasised the interconnected nature of health (including stress, work, relationships, movement and mindset) rather than focusing on areas of health in isolation.
CrossFit Level One
CrossFit
2022
This certification gave me a foundational understanding of movement, training principles and physical resilience. While I do not coach fitness, this background informs how I think about sustainable movement, recovery and the physical demands placed on Busy Women.
The Landmark Forum
Landmark Worldwide
2022
The Landmark Forum is a personal development programme focused on awareness, responsibility and communication. My participation contributed to my understanding of mindset, perspective and behavioural patterns, which informs my coaching approach.
I am half English and half Foochow (Chinese). I value the influence of both cultures in my life and work, particularly around food, family and long-term health. This perspective naturally shapes how I think about nourishment, balance and sustainable living.
When it comes to health, I’m not interested in rigid rules or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Bodies change. Circumstances change. Capacity changes.
What supports you at one stage of life may not be what supports you at another.
My role is to help you understand what your body is responding to and to work with that information thoughtfully, rather than forcing yourself into someone else’s framework.
I’m here to help you with...
​
-
Navigating stress and nervous system load
​
-
Building a steadier relationship with food and eating
​
-
Supporting menstrual cycle health and hormonal balance
​
-
Improving energy, recovery and sleep
​
-

​
This work is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding patterns and responding in a way that’s sustainable for you.
WISWY​
Work In Sync With Yourself
WISWY Health is built on a simple but often overlooked principle: health works best when it’s individual, contextual and responsive. Not rigid or prescriptive.
This is a space for women who are thoughtful, capable and carrying a lot. Women who don’t want another set of rules, labels or ideals to live up to, but instead want to understand their bodies and support them more intelligently.
Rather than asking “what should I be doing?”, WISWY encourages a different question:
“What is my body responding to and what actually helps right now?”
The work here is holistic, but grounded. Preventative rather than reactive. Focused on long-term wellbeing, not quick fixes. What works, works. And that may change as your life, capacity and priorities evolve.
