About Mary-Thérèse

As a qualified executive business and life coach, I champion your best self. I help you to challenge yourself but also to hold yourself accountable for all that you say and do. You only have control of yourself and we can only change ourselves. We are responsible for our own happiness.

While working in the pharmaceutical sector I used my coaching extensively. I coached colleagues, held workshops for pharmacists and diabetic nurses. I also coached departments heads with staffing issues and coached consultants setting up new businesses.

Drawing from my work in both the public and private sector and then setting up my own business I find I am ideally placed to help coach the entrepreneur, small business, and women wishing to get back to work or just finding the work life balance.

As a qualified nurse, radiographer, Stott pilates instructor, and having worked within the pharmaceutical sector, I bring a wealth of medical knowledge to my practice. Having a holistic approach to how the body moves and the systems involved helps clients understand why the exercise is being performed and thus gives greater insight into the benefits of pilates. Exercises are modified to each client’s needs.

Reiki master Delving more deeply into the spiritual side of things in 2009 was embarrassing, enlightening, scary, and wonderful. Some of the time I thought I was losing it but every time I turned my back on my spiritual side something would happen to bring me back. I didn’t find it difficult to marry my western science and medical background with the spiritual and eastern philosophies of Reiki. I think there is room for all therapies and you need to find what works for you.

I qualified as a Stott pilates Instructor in 2010. I continue to grow my experience in movement by attending various pilates courses throughout the years. Dipping into different pilates disciples to widen and deepen my knowledge. These courses backed with my medical knowledge allow me to give a very different service to my clients.
