How can you help me improve my health?
It's increasingly recognised that recovery from post concussion syndrome requires a holistic (whole person) approach. Evidence shows that if our bodies are as healthy as possible, our brain health improves too. I therefore support you in focusing on 4 key areas: - Nervous system regulation to reduce stress, overcome pain and aid the healing process - Mindset and removing barriers to recovery - Nutrition, focusing on balancing blood sugar and incorporating foods with strong evidence in supporting brain function and repair - Gradual increase in exercise, at your pace Through a collaborative coaching approach, alongside any ongoing medical support, we work together to gently bring about the changes you need to support your ongoing recovery.
Please share a health transformation story from one of your recent clients.
John has suffered post concussion symptoms for five years and felt "that was it" for his recovery. He was nervous to increase his exercise and doubtful that changes to his nutrition and blood sugar levels would have an impact with the fatigue and concentration levels. Since working together he has made "more changes than I thought was possible" and the little-by-little increases in exercise are giving him hope for returning to jogging and cycling. He's motivated to eat in a way that balances his blood sugar and promotes brain health, and is feeling the difference of properly looking after himself.
What’s your approach? Why might I like working with you?
On my own journey following a concussion I discovered a wealth of practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help my brain heal, and get myself well again. I know that the information can be contradictory and overwhelming and it’s hard to make changes alone. In a compassionate, empathetic yet positive and practical way, I cut through the noise to support you in making the changes that you need to help your body and brain recover, focusing on the 4 main areas as outlined above.
What’s your story and why are you a Health Coach?
In June 2023 I fainted and fell head first down a set of steps. Many months of severe symptoms led me to research what I could do to help myself, instead of just waiting and medicating. Inspired and empowered, I decided to turn the challenge into good and become a Certified Health Coach to support others on this difficult and misunderstood condition. My recovery continues, so I walk alongside with compassion, but also hope.
Client Testimonial (1)
Clare was a great Health Coach, she helped me to identify my goals and guided me through steps to make realistic changed to my daily routines for the overall benefit of my health. I am dealing with the symptoms of a brain injury and her own experience and knowledge meant she was able to understand my situation completely and help me reach really practical and realistic solutions. Clare was easy to talk to and made me feel really comfortable to be honest about my struggles and she was able to support me and offer advice and steps to take. Nicole

My sessions with Clare left me feeling excited and energized to make changes to improve my health and well-being. It was amazing to be able to discuss progress and pitfalls with someone who wasn’t judgemental but rather insightful and kind and so thoughtful about what I needed to move forwards. Francesca
