I’m Steph, full time corporate career woman and part time holistic health and wellness coach, and I’m passionate about helping other women thrive in their daily lives.
I’m on a mission to change the perception that wellness is only for the wealthy, or requires perfect “that girl” routines, week-long retreats, a gazillion supplements, daily matcha lattes or fancy activewear.
I’ve got over 20 years of experience in chasing career success including several years as a senior manager in a large corporate, which can be incredibly stressful. I’ve learned many valuable lessons along the way - including that career and financial success doesn’t need to come at the expense of our health or happiness.
Along the way I’ve also had to navigate my own personal health challenges including endometriosis, IBS and Burnout, which can be frustrating (and at times scary), but I’ve learned to really listen and understand what my mind and body needs in order to function at its best. I believe so deeply that health is the real wealth.
Through my own journey I’ve learned how easy it is to become confused with all the health information available online, (which so often is conflicting!) and we’ve all been down that rabbit hole of google searches looking for solutions, only to end up overwhelmed - or even terrified - with the search results!
Add to that the barrage of social media influencers trying to convince you that their newest product is going to solve ALL your problems, and we easily get sucked into spending a fortune on expensive products, or we just give up on trying to achieve our health and wellness goals.
That’s why I started Studio Thrive.
There’s no fancy magic potions here, no quick-fixes or empty promises. Just genuine, honest and practical support to help you in whatever you’re trying to achieve. I have a relaxed, holistic approach to my coaching: there’s no one-size-fits-all, and there’s absolutely no judgment here. Coaching sessions are a safe space to focus on you as a whole person, and together we’ll work through challenges you may be facing to get you reaching your goals.
I’ve gained a diploma in nutrition from The Nutrition Institute, I have years of career experience to lean on, and I am a real geek for personal development. I’m a lifelong learner - I love experiencing my own personal and professional growth, while ensuring my health and wellness are top priority.
Experiencing first hand the difference it makes when you prioritise self-care and focus on nourishing your body, I want to help make a real difference in other women’s lives. So whether you’re struggling with burnout, wanting to just feel healthier, have a specific goal you want to reach, or don’t even know where to start, we can work together on a plan that’s designed just for you, around your life and individual needs.
