Coach development & Player Education
As a female athlete health specialist I can help you access that essential 1% off the pitch that helps players be more holistic and resilient athletes.
I work with coaches, teams of players and individuals to develop their excellence in all aspects of female athlete health.
With what’s expected of our female youth players now, this work is absolutely key to consistently good performance both on the pitch and at school or college - you can’t do without this!

More about me
I am an MSc level physiologist by background with experience working as a clinical pilates teacher for 10 years and a women’s health coach for another 10 (ish) years. Since my daughter started playing rugby in 2022 I’ve been supporting the female teams at her club and then moving into the PDG pathway with the Under 16 teams who I believe are a key age group for shifting the holistic athlete understanding early on.
I started my Professional Doctorate in 2024 alongside my work at The Well HQ with the working title “The Impact of a strategic approach to female athlete health based on the biopsychosocial model”. This PhD is developing a truly integrated approach to female athlete health that includes all sectors of the sports ecosystem - not just reducing interventions to one-off workshops about menstrual cycles.
I work with individuals from all groups, teams of players and a coaching group to bridge the knowing > doing gap so that females of all ages and stages can live a more fulfilling active life.
