About Dorothy

I understand your frustrations about stress. You may have tried prevention strategies or stress management techniques but haven’t found an effective, long-term solution. I know the reason – it’s because you’ve been looking in the wrong place.

I take the current thinking about stress and shift it in a completely different direction. Using research in the field of neuroscience along with introspective learning, I reveal the mechanics of the human mind – and how to use the mind-stress connection to maintain wellbeing and thrive during challenging times.

It was my own experience with burnout that brought a new understanding of stress. I discovered that stress didn’t come from outside, through external triggers, but was created inside my own mind. It was a lightbulb moment that completely changed how I dealt with stress. From then on, stress no longer had a hold over me and I was able to maintain calm and balance, no matter what life threw at me.

Today, I use that insight and my years of learning and professional experience to guide organisations through stress so they can experience better wellbeing and extraordinary success.

I have nearly 20 years experience in the private and public sector as a health strategist, wellbeing consultant and behavioural change expert. I’m a consultant and verifier for the prestigious London Healthy Workplace Award Scheme, which is endorsed by Public Health England, and for which I received special recognition by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, in 2018.

I’ve worked with more than 100 organisations to help employees, senior managers, directors and HR, Health & Safety and Learning & Development teams thrive through stress.
