About Me
I'm Lesley
Coach. Reflexologist. Mentor. A deep listener with a calm mind and a grounded kind of knowing.
I didn’t come into this work from burnout. I came from clarity — and a quiet decision to stop living on empty.
For years, I was the over-functioner.
The one who anticipated everyone’s needs before they asked. I was helpful. Thoughtful. Capable. And quietly exhausted. It wasn’t dramatic — just a slow erosion of self.
Like many of the women I now work with, I had internalised the idea that my value was measured by how much I could carry. That showing up, staying strong, and not needing much made me “good.”
My nervous system was in constant alert.
I looked capable on the outside — and quietly fractured within.
It took years to realise — and coaching, therapy, energy work, and deep reflection — but I slowly began to return to myself. Not a reinvention. A remembering.
That remembering became the foundation of The Soulful Coach — a space for women who don’t want surface-level strategies. Who want to feel their lives again.
Now, I get to sit across from women like you — high-functioning. Emotionally intelligent. Quietly exhausted. And help you find the space to breathe, soften, and hear your real voice again.
I also work with young people — teens and young adults — through coaching and mentoring built on the same foundations: emotional safety, clarity, resilience, and compassionate guidance.
Whether we’re working through coaching or through body-based sessions, what I offer is spacious, steady, and built on truth.
Because I know what it’s like to feel like your life “should” be fine — but your system says otherwise.
If you’re circling the feeling that something’s off — let’s begin there.
This is for you if:
- You’re the woman everyone leans on — but there’s no one holding space for what you’re quietly carrying.
- You keep showing up, holding it together, doing the work — but the inside of your life feels hollow.
- Your body’s flinching before your brain can explain why.
- You’re emotionally aware — but self-awareness hasn’t softened what doesn't feel right.
- You’re not looking for another programme. You’re looking for somewhere your truth can breathe without being repackaged as a mindset shift.
I believe in fierce softness, in editing your life at any moment, and in healing that comes from reflection — not rescue.
If you feel ready, I'd love to help!

I am an NHS listed Reflexologist, specialising in menopause, wellness, fertility and maternity journeys.
I am a certified Mindfulness Practitioner and Holistic Therapist.
Wouldn’t it be powerful if we stopped mistaking strength for self-abandonment?
If instead of measuring ourselves by how much we can hold, we started honouring the quiet signs that say — I’ve done enough.
There’s nothing noble about pushing through exhaustion.
There’s no award for being the most resilient woman in the room.
What if rest wasn’t something to earn, but something you were worthy of — simply because you exist?
What if softness wasn’t something to fix, but something to trust?
This work is about remembering that boundaries aren’t walls — they’re invitations back to self.
That your sensitivity isn’t a flaw — it’s your compass.
And that choosing yourself, again and again, is not selfish.
It’s sacred.
