Modern life places increasing demands on our time, energy, and mental capacity. Many people find themselves feeling stuck — knowing they want to change something about their health, lifestyle, or direction, but unsure where to begin or how to sustain that change.
Heather offers a comprehensive health and wellbeing coaching service in Stroud, Gloucestershire, combining one-to-one online coaching, outdoor coaching, and in-home cooking mentoring to support meaningful, lasting transformation.
Her approach is grounded in behavioural science, lived experience, and practical application, helping you move from intention to action in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your life.
One-to-One Online Coaching
This is a safe, structured space for reflection, clarity and growth. Online coaching provides a flexible and highly effective way to engage in health and wellbeing coaching, regardless of your location. At its core, coaching is a collaborative process. It creates a safe, confidential space where you can explore what may be holding you back from feeling fully well, fully energised, and fully engaged in your life.
Through this process, Heather supports you to:
​
-
Identify patterns, behaviours, and barriers
-
Clarify your goals and priorities
-
Develop practical, achievable strategies
-
Build confidence and self-awareness
-
Create sustainable change over time
Many people assume that change is simply a matter of willpower. In reality, behaviour is shaped by a complex interaction of habits, environment, mindset, and emotional patterns. Heather uses evidence-based behavioural change techniques to support you in building:
​
-
Sustainable habits
-
Resilient routines
-
Long-term behavioural shifts
This approach ensures that change is not temporary, but embedded into your daily life. A widely referenced study suggests that only around 15% of people are natural self-motivators. This means that the majority of people benefit significantly from external support, particularly when navigating:
​
-
Major life changes
-
Health challenges
-
Periods of uncertainty or transition
In addition, the human brain is naturally biased towards focusing on negatives rather than achievements. Without structured support, it is easy to overlook progress and lose momentum.
​
Coaching provides:
​
-
Direction and clarity
-
Accountability
-
Recognition of progress
-
Consistent encouragement
This combination dramatically increases the likelihood of success. A structured and supportive coaching journey.
​
Working with Heather through online wellbeing coaching offers:
Clarity
A deeper understanding of your current situation and future direction
​
Strategy
A clear, tailored plan aligned with your goals
​
Accountability
Ongoing support to help you stay consistent
​
Confidence
A stronger belief in your ability to create change
​
Results
Tangible improvements in your wellbeing and quality of life
Outdoor Coaching: Walking, Running or Cycling
This combines fitness coaching with wellbeing and mindset; a dynamic, nature-based approach to personal growth.
For those who prefer a more active and embodied approach, Heather offers outdoor coaching in Stroud and Gloucestershire, combining life coaching with physical movement.
​
Sessions can take place through:
​
-
Walking
-
Running
-
Cycling
This format creates a more dynamic and natural coaching environment, allowing both body and mind to engage in the process.
​
Research consistently shows that spending time in natural environments can:
​
-
Reduce anxiety and stress
-
Improve mood and mental clarity
-
Enhance creativity and problem-solving
-
Support overall wellbeing
Combining coaching with movement amplifies these benefits. Rather than sitting in a static environment, outdoor coaching allows thoughts to flow more freely, helping you access new perspectives and insights.
​
Outdoor sessions also provide an opportunity to integrate fitness coaching into your wellbeing journey.
Whether your goal is to:
-
Improve physical fitness
-
Build strength and endurance
-
Increase energy levels
-
Develop a more active lifestyle
Heather supports you in a way that feels manageable, enjoyable, and aligned with your wider goals.
​
Heather brings a high level of personal and professional experience to this work. She is an ultra-distance cyclist, having completed a solo, unsupported ride from Canada to Mexico, demonstrating exceptional resilience, discipline, and endurance. She has also worked as a professional outdoor educator with a leading UK wildlife conservation charity, developing expertise in outdoor leadership, environmental awareness and physical and mental resilience.
This combination allows her to confidently integrate coaching, fitness, and the natural environment into a powerful and effective experience.

Cooking Mentoring in Your Home
Transform your relationship with food, health and energy. This is practical, hands-on support for lasting change. Food is one of the most influential factors in overall health and wellbeing, yet it is also one of the areas where many people feel least confident or consistent. Heather offers in-home cooking mentoring in Gloucestershire and the surrounding area, providing a practical, engaging, and enjoyable way to improve your relationship with food.
​
Heather will bring a selection of fresh, whole-food, plant-based ingredients into your home and guide you through creating a series of nourishing and delicious meals.
​
The focus is on:
-
Simplicity
-
Practicality
-
Enjoyment
-
Sustainability
Even small changes to your cooking habits can have a profound impact on:
-
Energy levels
-
Digestion
-
Mental clarity
-
Overall wellbeing
​
​
​
What you eat, really does matter. Approximately 90% of serotonin — a key hormone linked to mood and wellbeing — is produced in the gut. This means that your diet plays a direct role in how you feel on a daily basis. Modern diets, often high in processed foods, sugars, and refined ingredients, can negatively impact both physical and mental health.
​
In contrast, a diet rich in whole, plant-based foods supports:
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Improved gut health
-
Stable energy levels
-
Enhanced mood and focus
​
Heather introduces you to a range of simple, effective plant-based alternatives, including:
-
Creamy cashew sauces as dairy alternatives
-
Almond flour and berry pancakes
-
Scrambled tofu as a protein-rich option
-
Frozen Banana and Coconut smoothy
These foods are:
-
High in fibre
-
Rich in antioxidants
-
Nutrient-dense
-
Naturally satisfying
​
​
​
This is designed to be a relaxed and enjoyable experience, suitable for individuals, couples, or families.
During your session, you will:
-
Prepare a starter, main course, and dessert
-
Learn practical cooking skills
-
Explore new ingredients and techniques
-
Enjoy the process of creating and sharing food
It is an opportunity to reconnect with cooking as a positive, creative activity.
​
You will leave the session with:
-
Recipes and clear instructions
-
Practical cooking knowledge
-
Increased confidence in the kitchen
-
Ideas that can be easily integrated into daily life
Heather also tailors each session to your preferences, incorporating your favourite ingredients wherever possible.
