Hello, I’m Lucy

I’m a coach, mentor, mum and urban gardener who can help you cultivate and live a joyful life through the seasons.

I have a deep passion to connect people with the spaces in their lives that bring joy. My purpose and calling is to help support people like you to shape your own joyful, enriched and gentle life.

I’m a self-belief coaching academy graduate coach, qualified life and business coach, NLP Master Practitioner, certified mBIT coach. I shape my coaching practice using nature’s seasonal cues and my passion for mapping spaces. I’m a coach with a difference and have the planet and the environment at the heart of my purpose, donating part of my coaching fee to tree planting organisations to restore the lungs of our planet. In the next few years I want to be BCorp certified, be 1% for the planet member and find ways of giving back.

I live in Bristol and I’m head over heels in love with my husband Chris, our daughter Chloe, and our gorgeous Jack Russell Juno. They shape my world. I’ve been creating my own version of a wholesome life for well over 12 years. Starting my blog in 2011, where I started sharing my journey of learning handmade crafts, developing my passion for photography, urban gardening, and connecting to the seasons.

Bristol is a city known for its creativity, it’s sustainability, its hot air balloons, colourful houses, a stunning suspension bridge, big green spaces, and a great cultural mix. We live in South Bristol and have a 20 minute walk to the countryside and local forest spaces, and are a drive away to coastlines. Being just a few hours away from the gorgeous landscapes of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Wales feeds my love of the south-west where I love to visit.

I’m passionate about filling my life with thoughtful moments and living in line with nature’s seasons. I fit time in for myself into each week, whether it’s taking photographs of plants and landscapes, working on a creative project, pottering around our urban garden and tending plants in our greenhouse, through to feeling inspired by reading my favourite magazines and books with a cup of tea in hand, writing sections of my book, and making our home feel cosy and distinctly our own. We live as sustainably, seasonally and as locally as possible and proudly support independent businesses on our local high street and close by, where we can.

Alongside my work as a wholesome living life coach, I have a part-time day job at an ethical herbal tea company. The people I work with inspire me with their ingenuity, hard work and passion for the planet, and working there challenges me everyday.

I’m cultivating and living a wholesome life through the seasons. I’ve crafted a life that I love. I’d love for you to make that a reality for you too.

MY EXPERIENCE

My 18 year career in Human Resources has enabled me to focus on connecting people to their dream job roles and asking brilliant questions. As an in-house recruiter I have worked closely to define job roles, creating bespoke selection processes, and interviewed hundreds of creative professionals. I’ve also supported people exiting job roles during organisation change and restructures. In my role as a People Partner I support leaders and their teams through their employee lifecycle providing HR expertise and coaching.

During my career I’ve gained a deep understanding of the creative industry and ethical business, I understand what makes people tick and bring a wealth of experience that I regularly drawn upon during my coaching. I worked for 11 years at a global print and digital media company, and for the past five years have worked at an organic herbal tea company that is deeply creative, challenging and inspiring, and has a close fit to my personal values of doing business for good.

During my day job I have always managed to mould and make space for creative moments in my day, taking my job role beyond my job description and enabling me to demonstrate my personal drive and focus on guiding my own self development. I am featured in Beth Kempton’s brilliant first book Freedom Seeker, about my creative moments I made for myself whilst working in media.

I reignited my personal creativity and started my own journey towards discovering me again following a life changing travelling experience in 2011 and starting a creative blog. I re-ignited part of me that I’d left behind for many years, and with my own personal coaching approach and methods, I have followed a path that has led me to what I do today with my creativity, to create the portfolio career I always wanted for myself and live a wholesome life where I live gently and joyfully inspired by nature’s seasonal rhythms.
