Connect with a qualified UK based women’s health coach

Hi, I’m Brenda,

I’m a qualified Health Coach trained at the College of Naturopathic Medicine and the founder of Health is Wealth Coaching, but before I became a health coach, I was the woman juggling it all… and slowly burning out from the inside.

For most of my adult life, I was on a relentless quest to be “healthy.” I counted calories. I stepped on the scales daily. I pushed myself to extremes. All in the name of chasing a number, a size, a version of myself I thought I needed to be. But what I didn’t realise then was that my body was fighting a silent battle. Years of hormonal imbalance, gut issues, chronic stress, and unresolved emotional overload.

From a young age, I was on the contraceptive pill, something I now understand was quietly influencing my hormones and overall well-being in ways I never imagined. After my first child, I experienced debilitating symptoms that were dismissed as anxiety and depression. But deep down, I knew something else was going on. Eventually, I discovered a severe dairy intolerance and began a long, self-led journey to heal my gut at a time when gut health wasn’t even part of mainstream wellness conversations. It took nearly a decade, but I did it. I rebuilt my health from the inside out.

Even as I tried to live “healthily,” life kept piling on. I climbed the corporate ladder, worked myself into the ground, and tried to be the perfect mother, wife, and professional. I eventually broke. The pressure was too much. I found myself in a cycle of anxiety, depression, stress, self-criticism, and burnout. Constantly feeling like I wasn’t enough, no matter how hard I tried.

When I was made redundant, it felt like the ground had fallen away beneath me. But that moment gave me the space to ask, “What do I really want from life?” I trained as a chef to reconnect with my love of food and nourishment, but during that time, new symptoms emerged. I was entering perimenopause, along with all the hormonal turbulence it brings. My concerns were often brushed off, but I knew my body was telling me something. I kept digging deeper.

Then, life threw us the biggest curveball. My son was diagnosed with cancer at age six. In that moment, everything changed. Health stopped being about weight or willpower, it became about survival, resilience, and protecting what truly matters. Watching him fight, heal, and recover cracked me open. I shifted my mindset completely. I began exercising for mental health, not weight loss. I prioritised rest, real food, and joy over restriction and punishment.

Out of the trauma came a new clarity. I became deeply passionate about gut health, hormone balance, fibre, real nourishment, and the power of our own healing capacity. I trained formally as a health coach to bring together my lived experience with the knowledge needed to support other women like me. Women who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready for change.

Today, I help busy women, especially those navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause, find balance, energy, and self-trust again. My work is rooted in compassion, science, and the belief that healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection. To your body. To your mind. To the life you want to live.

If you’re here because you're tired of feeling like you're constantly running on empty, please know that you're not alone. And you're not broken. You're just ready to come home to yourself.

I’m so glad you’re here.
