I’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks…
A few weeks ago, I received the news that I’d been nominated for The West Country Women Awards 2026 – Women in Health, Social Care & Wellbeing.
To whoever nominated me…
Thank you.
Whether it was one person or several, I want you to know how much your kindness, belief and support mean to me.
When I first received the news, I was genuinely caught off guard.
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations in people’s lives, first as a Doctor of Chiropractic and now through TWLT Spinal Flow, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and the Grow2Glow Ascension Pathway. I know how profound this work is because I’ve had the honour of walking alongside so many people as they rediscover themselves.
What caught me off guard was the thought of being seen.
My immediate thought was,
“I don’t really want to be seen. I’m quite happy quietly getting on with the work, helping people transform their lives and witnessing those incredible moments when everything suddenly clicks for them… when the lights come on, the fog lifts, and they begin to see themselves differently.”
That’s always been my happy place.
I was excited to share the news with my fiancé, my daughter, my family and a few close friends.
Sharing it publicly felt very different.
So I sat with it.
Over the weeks that followed, I reflected on it and had some wonderful conversations with people I trust.
Then something became very clear.
I’d been looking at this through too small a lens.
This really isn’t about me.
It’s about the work and what it does..
It’s about the people who are still living with physical pain, anxiety, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm or limiting beliefs, without knowing there is another way.
If allowing myself to be seen means that this work reaches someone who needs it…
Then allowing myself to be seen is simply part of the work.
That was a hearty shift for me.
The work and I aren’t separate.
As the person behind it, I also have a responsibility to help that message reach the people who need it most.
For me, this has never been about titles or recognition.
It’s always been about helping people feel safe in their body and free in their life. Helping them understand the connection between their body, their nervous system and their subconscious mind, so they can recognise the protective patterns they’ve adapted over a lifetime. Patterns that may once have kept them safe, but are now keeping them stuck, affecting their health, their confidence, their relationships and the way they experience life. There is nothing wrong with them, nothing flawed or broken. Their body and mind have simply adapted to survive, and together we help them create a new way of living that allows them to truly thrive.
Alongside my clinical work, I’ve also had the privilege of sharing this message through my book, Annihilate Social Anxiety for Teens, and I’m excited that another book is already in the making.
I’ve decided to embrace this nomination with an open heart.
This work deserves to reach further.
There are people who are still searching for answers.
If this nomination helps even one more person discover that they don’t have to stay where they are…
If it helps one more person find hope…
If it helps one more person understand themselves in a completely different way…
Then every uncomfortable step towards greater visibility will have been worth it.
To every client who has trusted me over the past two decades…
Thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to walk alongside you.
Thank you for every conversation, every breakthrough, every recommendation, every review and every kind word.
You have shaped this journey just as much as I have.
And to whoever nominated me…
Thank you for reminding me that sometimes the work needs to be seen.
Whatever happens next, I already feel incredibly honoured, deeply grateful, and excited for what lies ahead. 💜
