What I do
Training & Workshop Delivery in both Trauma Informed Relationships & Mental Health
Trauma Informed Relationships.
Working with both sport for development and elite sport organisations to help them be trauma informed in their relationships and organisational culture. Enabling them to create and build safer, braver spaces and relationships, creating a culture of dosed stress, not no stress.
30 minute to 12 hour courses available.
Mental Health Workshops.
I deliver workshops to help people understand and practically apply: what good mental health is, what prevents poor mental health and how to manage their emotions, specifically in their sport or context.
Some of my recent work has been commissioned by Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, Premier League Foundation and World Rugby.
From under 8s in academies, to First Team squads, to Coaches and Leadership Teams.
Consultancy with International & Domestic Sport
Rugby World Cup Research.
I carried out research into the lived experience of mental health within a RWC with both the men's and women's game.
My research has helped shape the provision for RWC 2025.
I share my research internationally through lectures, podcasts, panels and consultancy.

& Mentoring
I mentor staff & volunteers in sport to enable them to embed trauma informed training & cheer lead them in often challenging environments.
I support athletes to thrive and reach their off the pitch, court, track, pool, arena goals… with balancing demands, relationships, education, retirement, wellbeing and charity opportunities.
"I would highly recommend Heather to any Elite Sports Person facing the challenge of balancing multiple commitments, or looking to improve wellbeing through targeted and well informed support."
