Based in the Wye Valley, working online with clients globally
Hi, I’m Mhairi — a Scot who’s called the Wye Valley home for over twenty years. I’m married, mum to two brilliant humans, fuelled by strong coffee and good books, and I care deeply about creating a space where people can finally breathe, settle, and feel understood.
● Before this work
For almost a decade I was treated for anxiety and depression — functioning on the outside, but internally exhausted. Every day felt like an emotional juggling act, and nothing seemed to create real, lasting change. Eventually we discovered it was a long-term hormonal issue, and once stabilised, I was left with the emotional aftermath — shaky confidence, tangled self-worth and patterns I couldn’t out-logic. I needed change that went deeper than mindset alone.
● The turning point
Discovering cognitive rewiring changed everything. It softened the weight I’d been carrying internally, dissolved beliefs and reactions I couldn’t think my way out of, and helped me come back to myself. It was the first time progress felt organic — not forced, not performed. I even had a rewiring session to remove the belief that I “wasn’t clever enough” to train again — and that changed everything. The shift was so pivotal that I knew I wanted to help others find the same relief. I trained in subconscious rewiring and began supporting clients through the work.
● Why Coaching too?
As I continued, it became clear that internal change is powerful — but without structure, direction and accountability, progress can stall. Coaching had given me that during my own rebuild, so I trained as a Life Mastery Coach too — bringing both approaches together under one roof.
Now I offer three pathways — coaching alone, rewiring alone, or a blend of both for people who want emotional freedom and progress in real life. No juggling practitioners. No fragmented support. One safe space for clarity, change and growth.
I’ve trained in trauma-informed practice, neuroscience-backed subconscious rewiring (BCCR) and professional Life Mastery Coaching. This means clients receive support that’s both emotionally safe and practical — deep inner work paired with forward movement.
Clients come to me when they want clarity, confidence, identity grounding, direction, or when they’re tired of looping the same patterns. Coaching supports progress and momentum. Rewiring dissolves what sits underneath. Together — change holds and future decisions feel lighter to make.
My role is to anchor the space — calm, grounded, steady. A place where you can breathe instead of brace, think clearly, and move forward without forcing. When the nervous system feels safe, change doesn’t need pressure — it’s remembered, integrated, and often faster than expected.
