STEPPING INTO MY ROLE AS A COACH - and an offer for you
If you follow me on Instagram you will know that most of the content I share is based on mindset, emotional health, trauma and… well… not strictly Functional Medicine ‘stuff’. There’s a reason for that: it matters. It matters for human beings, it matters for life - and it matters for resolving illness.
I have qualifications in mindset coaching and the realms of the spiritual. I have always tried to dovetail everything, but I have very much resided in the world of Functional Medicine and brought coaching work into that for the patients who were open to it.
This has not sat well with me for a while. I can’t fully explain the reasons as some of them are deep within my energy and essence - but in truth, I feel much happier and resonant within a coaching role than I do recommending outside-in supplemental protocol solutions which focus on the physiological end result of what are, so often, energetic and emotional issues. And it’s not entirely fair to present myself as someone who will offer one thing (‘treatments’, protocols and diets) and THEN bring up that people may need to look at deeper trauma work. It’s inauthentic, but it is also a disservice to both of these modalities and the patients who seek support.
So I’m changing things. I am going back to school for the next six months to up-level and hone my services as a coach. I am exploring some familiar, and some new, modalities. I am embracing this as a sole-qualification (for a bit anyway, though things may coalesce down the line). And I am truly dedicating myself to wherever this leads.
Whilst I will NOT be turning down (or disappearing on!) any Functional Medicine patients - I am going to be doing something different as well.
Here is where YOU come in.
If you’ve been interested in my mindset/coaching work for a while but never known what it’s about or if it’s for you - or, indeed, you’ve never felt able to dedicate the finances towards it - now is the time.
For a small handful of clients, I am going to be offering my coaching at a VERY reduced rate. This will mean that a coaching hour with me costs just £40 (paid monthly at a rate of £160 per month for weekly coaching), rather than £95 - and there will be NO mandatory on-boarding consultation (usually £225).
If you’re already “IN” and want to apply to be considered for this opportunity, please just click here and fill in the form today.
WHAT WILL THIS COACHING ENTAIL?
This is Coaching - not counselling or therapy. My approach is always to offer proactive, immersive, deep work to help you process & navigate your current experience & present or historic suffering, using a variety of modalities (nothing that is ‘new’ to me will be used with you. I am committed to being proficient and skilled at any modality before using it with any client - through this package or otherwise)
The goal of this coaching is to help you to access your centre, spirit & embodied, highest expression of self
This coaching will comprise a large body of sessions to facilitate experiential transformation. We will take all the ‘shoulds’ about health, life & processing past trauma ... & transform them into felt, lived & released experiences. This allows for peace around things to finally land in your body. This is important if you follow me for ‘illness’ stuff, but it’s also relevant if you really feel the need to process past experiences for any reason whatsoever
This will continue for a maximum of 6 months - the duration of my training. HOWEVER, if you no longer really ‘need’ the service and we both agree that’s the correct choice, that’s great - we’ll end our time together. If you still need my ongoing help after this time, we will discuss that when we get there
The frequency of sessions will be weekly - unless we determine that that’s not appropriate for you. My commitment to you is that my prices will remain at £40 per hour even if frequency reduces
For the avoidance of doubt:
I am not offering this to you to “make up” any coaching hours for qualification. Almost 100% of those hours will be filled with fellow students
I am not offering this because I feel that my coaching is not already worth £95 - it very much is, if not more
I AM offering this because I know I have an audience who have often spent inordinate amounts on healthcare and who have not gone for coaching with me because they have feared they cannot afford it. Before costs go up (in October) I want to honour the people who have been with me thus far
Lastly, I am offering this because I know my growth curve in the next six months isn’t about modalities - it’s about sticking to ONLY coaching in sessions. That’s my challenge and I know that my default into biochemistry is something I will need to work on NOT doing (not all the time anyway). So I am learning, to some extent - and you will be helping me do that
Who Is This For/who is this not for?
This is not Functional Medicine or Nutrition. For now (this may evolve from October) I will NOT be talking about test results & supplements with any coaching client. I WILL be talking about physical symptoms, but only as they relate to beliefs, trauma, nervous system entrainment etc. (this covers a lot, btw, but this is NOT Functional Medicine and I will not review your supplement protocols or send follow-up health coaching emails afterwards)
People who are currently working with me from a Functional Medicine perspective will get coaching and support rolled into your care. However, this is not the focus of my time with you - so you are definitely welcome to apply for this, but MUST be aware that this is in addition to Functional Medicine work & does not replace that work
Healthpath Patients - my work with you is not coaching. I am a Functional Medicine and Nutrition Consultant only within Healthpath. You are therefore definitely able to apply for this - we will not cover this type of work in my time with you
Colleagues - I will not coach friends or family. However, colleagues in the coaching or Functional Medicine industry are welcome to apply. This will not replace my Mentoring Opportunities BUT if you want to work on business concerns that revolve around those inner wounds we carry as obstacles to success - this IS for you!!
This is NOT for anyone who feels that they want lots of in-between coaching support. When I design future packages (from October) I WILL have the opportunity for WhatsApp/Voxer support in-between coaching calls. However, during the next six months I expect to be very busy and want to manage expectations now that our sessions will be weekly with minimal contact outside of those (obviously, I am available in case of emergency)
IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING COACHING CLIENT - please be very aware that you get ALL of me. You get my many different hats, you are (almost always) on packages which are not weekly in frequency and you are very much getting a rounded service WITH that in-between support. However, if you are concerned or want to discuss your package - just email Alex and we’ll walk through things with you
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MUST BE AVAILABLE TO COMMIT TO THIS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY (15 MARCH 2021). We may have enrolment later in the year too, but this is not a guarantee.
PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE THAT FROM OCTOBER, COACHING FEES ARE LIKELY TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. This is not a scam - it will be a reflection of my new services once I am qualified as a Master Coach. This means that right now is the last chance to work with me at such an affordable rate.

Questions? - email Alex and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
