A little announcement I’m excited to share…
After 15 years working in Emergency Medicine, I’ve made a decision.
I’ve reduced my NHS hours.🥹
And honestly? I have ALL the feelings about it.
I feel incredibly lucky to have built the career I have. A degree, a Masters, advanced qualifications, years of additional training, endless shifts, nights, weekends, exams, pressure, tears, stress… and a whole lot of sacrifice.
I don’t say that to boast. I say it because I know how privileged I am to have earned it.
But I’ve also realised that sometimes the career you work incredibly hard for can become the very thing that leaves you with very little of yourself.

To give it the time, energy, and attention it deserves.
And, more importantly, to give YOU the time, energy, and attention you deserve.
I’m so incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me over the years. For every treatment, every conversation, every recommendation, every message, every person who has walked through my doors.
I don’t take any of it for granted.
So this is me, tentatively stepping into a new chapter…
A little relieved.
A little scared.
Very excited.
And probably about to learn A LOT about the logistics of actually running a business. 😂
Metanoia is growing.
And I’m finally ready to grow with it.
Here’s to giving this little business t
