VALUES:
FAITH
Walking in faith, and honouring God and what He has provided, is a wonderful way of supporting our own decision making and problem solving and is something I personally try to focus on daily. Realising what is possible, what is, rather than what isn't possible. Living with faith over fear. Walking in faith provides a sense of inner compass and can have the powerful ability to protect our mind, change our health and change our life.
FREEDOM
We were all created with the God given right of freedom and autonomy over our own body, and those of our young children. the freedom to choose and to decide how we want to approach our own health. I will always stand for my own freedom and the freedom of others. As a naturopathic health coach guiding you on your journey, in the area of a client-coach relationship, I am simply a guide, a support, and a safe space where you have the freedom to flourish. Your health is in your hands. God designed our bodies to heal, but it is our responsibility to steward that journey. Your body, your choice, whilst I walk with you hand in hand.
RESPECT
Respect, kindness, boundaries, forgiveness and understanding are all areas I try to live by. Forgiveness especially, is life-changing for everyone. Keeping an open mind, working on nervous system care, serving others, setting boundaries, practicing and asking for forgiveness where appropriate. As a coach, I offer clients a safe space in my heart-led coaching practice filled with respect and understanding.
INTEGRITY
Showing up to choose courage over comfort and following through on values, authenticity, remaining honest and walking the walk in family life, and to those we serve outside of that environment, including in the workplace. Backing up our values and intentions with our actions and voices is imperative.
COMMUNITY + CONNECTION
They say it takes a village. Our ancestors lived together, joined hands together, supported together because we as humans are not designed to go it alone. We are wired to seek support, and in that, we see not always perfection, but progress. Healing happens in community.
REFLECTION
To reflect upon our actions, is where we can improve. Reflection leads to recognition, growth and the ability to strengthen our skills to support others, and ourselves.
ABOUT SIAN:
Hi, i'm sian, an accredited naturopathic nutrition and health coach, with a huge passion to help women thrive. As a result of my personal health struggles, I more than likely understand what you are feeling.
I struggled mentally and physically for many years. It all began when I was 7 years old when my mum went to heaven after experiencing breast cancer. I had not only lost a mother, but a brother too. I experienced a difficult childhood in the years after. My mental, emotional and physical struggles went on until my 30s. I struggled with supressed grief and emotional dysregulation with my nervous system dysregulated from an early age, constant daily stress, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, a downregulated thyroid and metabolism, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, acid reflux, excruciatingly painful and heavy periods, low mood, and at 33 I ended up admitted to hopsital with a 2.5kg 26cm cyst on my left ovary and septic shock. With the cyst, wrong amount of medication and septic shock, I ended up having a gastroscopy, four blood transfusions, who knows what medication, and eventually, after they were struggling to stabilise me, emergency surgery which resulted in loss of some reproductive organs and lasting physical damage. In the years after, I struggled with further trauma from that experience, and further gut issues. and even though the cyst was gone, the underlying causes including hormone imbalances were naturally still there. The cyst was just a symptom of complete imbalance in my body.
As a result of feeling completely let down by the medical system, I knew I had to figure out how to help myself. I took many wrong turns in my healing journey, spent more money than I needed to on overly expensive 'biohacks' and supplements that were ultimately just a band aid, but eventually cut through the confusion, and discovered the simple yet profound changes that created a strong foundation that allowed my body to do what it innately knew what to do - rebalance.
I also discovered that health is about so much more than nutrition. Nutrition really is just a tiny element. I learnt that how we not only emotionally, but physically respond to unavoidable stress matters, our environment matters, our natural rhythms matter, proper hydration matters which goes beyond drinking water and consuming minerals. I learnt about how our body actually works. I realised that getting down to the very smallest particles in our body namely, the smallest particles of light (photons), and the smallest particles of matter (electrons, protons, etc.) matter. Biochemistry (protein, fat, blood sugar balance, vitamins, minerals etc) matters but biochemistry needs a signal. Without the appropriate signals we end up chasing our tails. Basically, I discovered a lifestyle that supported my body on a on a cellular level. I discovered a lifestyle free of restrictive diet culture. and a lifestyle full of nourishment and healing. Health is not just about the 90s idea of nutrition, supplements and working out at the gym, it's about living in alignment with God's design; nature, and all that it offers.
To this day, I regulary submerge myself in depths of research to fine tune my knowledge and stay up to date with new data. I’ve invested thousands of £ and thousands of hours in deepening my knowledge and strengthening my skills so that I can help more people like you get to the root cause of their health issues so they too can experience a greater sense of vitality and live life to the full.
During my period of healing, I also came to realise the power of behaviour change. Nutrition and lifestyle changes are great on paper, but we don't just require information, we require implementation. Implementation requires us to change our behaviour.
My experiences led me to study at the College of Naturopathic Medicine. I started my career to support women who are struggling to navigate their health journey. Women who are struggling to heal from their chronic symptoms and dysfunction in their body. Women wanting to regulate their stress response, feel more energised, optimise their hormones, their mood, their gut health, overcome weight loss resistance and regulate their weight management system in general. Something I discovered that can be a little tricky when stress levels have been chronically high.
Healing is a huge picture puzzle, where the pieces all fit together. But just remember, it is about creating a lifestyle. Healing has no final end destination! We are inately designed to heal, but we need to steward that process by providing the right environment. My job is to coach you on that journey, help you better respond to stress, navigate your way to more energy, less anxiety, more food freedom, and create that solid foundation for you to explore a wellness journey on an even deeper level. In my experience, this can look like the inner emotional work that is keeping you stuck and also changing your behaviour, your daily habits. To progress towards that deeper sense of vitality, you are going to require energy, strength, and a solid foundation to help carry you forward, something I am here to support you with.
