Some feedback from last month's session:

"Really helpful - found it informative to understand the impact of physiological stress on PCS. I enjoyed the meditation also and the idea of reframing my thoughts and developing an antidote."

"I liked the pace, and the style of delivery - i.e. encouraging sharing, but allowing time for personal reflection was really valuable.

"It was really helpful to have a session with a coach with personal experience of concussion."

Take a look at the link and feel free to get in touch if you've got questions.

45 Minute workshop unpacking the role of the nervous system in concussion recovery, with practical strategies to ease symptoms and reverse the downward spiral. Tuesday 21 October 1pm UK time. Free, on zoom, more info and booking link below.

I'm delighted to now take referrals from the Concussion Clinic at the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health in London to provide a Health Coaching programme for individuals with ongoing post concussion symptoms. My support includes nervous system regulation, using pain reprocessing approaches, brain focused nutrition, long term exercise and fostering a recovery mindset.

Particular gratitude to Dr Theo Farley, specialist concussion Physiotherapist at ISEH who was supporting me in my recovery journey this time last year. What a difference a year makes!

Just another one of those things to remember during concussion recovery.

You should read this if you…
👉 are recovering from a brain injury
👉 feel like your brain is foggy, wired, or just not quite right
👉 want practical, science-backed ways to feel clearer, calmer, and more like you

📚 I recommend Upgrade Your Brain by Patrick Holford because it brings together — in one place — what took me over a year to research, try, and understand for myself.

It covers such a wide range of things I’ve found vital in my recovery from post-concussion symptoms like nutrition, gut health, exercise, sleep, and stress.

The information about diet — and why certain foods are so important for brain health because of their impact on our physiology — is valuable for everyone, but especially powerful for anyone healing from a brain injury.

💭 It made me wish that I'd found this book at the start of my concussion recovery journey.

This book has been a game-changer in helping me understand and support my healing from the inside out.

I agree

A life-changing moment came for James after an 18ft fall—headfirst onto the floor. The traumatic brain injury (TBI) he sustained set him on a long, grueling path of rehabilitation.

James’ story is one of resilience, advocacy and transformation.
