Heather is available for corporate consulting on sickness absence strategy and long term sickness return to work.

Please arrange a call to discuss your requirements.

I’m living proof that designing and creating a new life, even with long-term health issues, is absolutely possible.
Why work with me?

I bring a unique combination of 30 years professional experience in occupational health and vocational rehabilitation, combined with personal experience of ill health & injury (stroke, blood cancer and a badly broken ankle that needed surgery!).

Expert Support

I've found life-changing ways to thrive that support the everyday needs of my health conditions while simultaneously bringing me joy and allowing me the time and space to travel around the UK in my camper van, enjoy hikes in the countryside with my dog and spend quality time with family and friends.

Professional Recognition

  • National Award for Promoting Activity and Healthy Lifestyles

  • NHS England Rehabilitation and Innovation Award

  • Vocational Rehabilitation Practitioner of the Year

  • Speaker at the World Congress of Physiotherapy

My Approach

I weave together many years of strategically supporting people who have been injured or ill and want to stay at or return to work, or their day to day activities - using mentoring, a somatic trauma informed approach and heart rate variability assessment and analysis.

Together we create a personalised roadmap for you to sustainably manage your work, life and health so that you can have a thriving business and a joy filled life!

Client Testimonials

Until I met Heather I struggled with overcoming the mental and physical trauma of getting run over by a car (here in the US). Heather is a voice in the darkness, the beacon of light in the storm that people with trauma face. She not only gave me the tools to help me become stronger, she gave me the confidence that I could come back from it and thrive. Because of Heather I have rebounded. I’m working out every day, feeling stronger, and I’m excited about my future once again!

-Julia

Heather is an expert by experience and expertise....she speaks very much around the mindset, the emotional and social context of recovery from injury and illness.

-Prof. Laura Serrant OBE

Heather has a unique dual perspective on
complex injury and recovery. She is blazing a path of hope. Hope beautifully delivered without gaslighting. Such gentle and insightful suggestion of what could be.
