Stress Management

I’m Jo, a Quality of Life Coach.

Back in 2019, I joined the Raw Horizons Wellbeing Coaching Course during a time of deep overwhelm. I didn’t have all the answers — I just knew something had to change. That course became my first step in reclaiming my own wellbeing.

By 2020, I was fully committed to healing, growth, and helping others do the same. I founded Jo’s Transforming Lives — a name that reflects both my journey and the women I now support through their own.

My coaching brings together science, soul, and compassion. I use powerful tools like EFT tapping, clinical hypnotherapy, and trauma-aware coaching to support women in emotional recovery and reconnection.

I don’t do pressure or performative healing. I meet you gently where you are — whether you’re facing burnout, chronic stress, or feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way.

Together, we clear the noise, reconnect with what matters, and begin building a life that feels like home again — balanced, meaningful, and free.

Hi, I’m Louise, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Nature Connection Guide. My journey began with healing my own anxiety, low mood, and childhood trauma, leading me to train with Raw Horizons in 2018 and as a hypnotherapist in 2020.

My mission is helping others reconnect with their authentic selves, process unresolved emotions, and find natural balance. I believe healing happens when we remember who we truly are beneath life’s layers.

I blend evidence-based therapeutic techniques with nature-based practices, guiding people ‘home’ to themselves. My work isn’t just about overcoming obstacles; it’s about discovering a grounded, more peaceful version of yourself.

Working online or in person from my camper van Bertha, I support entrepreneurs and individuals stuck by emotional blocks. Through connecting to our true nature through nature and hypnotherapy, we release old patterns, rediscover our inner rhythm and resources, and create space for lasting transformation in all areas of life.

Hi, I’m Laura Edralin—a calligraphy artist, happiness facilitator, and certified wellbeing coach passionate about combining self-care with creativity.

I love sharing ways to help people support their wellbeing and mental health through creativity and mindfulness. My goal is to help you step away from the busyness of life, get creative, and drop into a calming flow state—with just a pen!

I discovered calligraphy in 2017 as a creative outlet to support my own mental wellbeing. It quickly became more than just a hobby—I was fascinated by the psychological impact creativity can have as a mindfulness practice and personal development tool.

Since then, I’ve become a certified wellbeing coach with Raw Horizons and now combine coaching with creative techniques to support others through public workshops and corporate programs.

I truly believe that the more we share, the more we learn, the more we grow—and the more we find a sense of belonging.

Hi, I’m Valerie Viot, the Centre Manager for Together Against Cancer, a Leicester-based charity dedicated to empowering cancer patients and carers to take control of their own health.

I qualified as a Wellbeing Coach in 2021 and find it incredibly rewarding to support clients during such challenging times in their lives. Helping them evolve their mindset and coping abilities is a deeply fulfilling part of my work.

I have always been curious about health, wellness, and human nature. Going through the Wellbeing Coach training course allowed me to deepen my empathy and refine my skills to better support others.

One of my clients, for example, struggled with family conflict and felt she had to be the rock for everyone else. Through six coaching sessions, she learned to accept that she was doing enough and couldn’t control others’ emotions or behaviour. As a result, she found peace and reduced her stress.

Mental health has always been of interest, due to my own experiences of anxiety and depression, grieving and low self-esteem. To enable my transformation, I had to learn how to face, and overcome, these specific struggles.

The introduction of a daily mix of physical exercise (walks in nature are my favourite!), social interactivity, mindfulness, and gratitude were catalysts for my new-found happiness. I realised a powerful desire to help others reach their ‘happy place’.

Since qualifying as a Wellbeing Coach, I’m now helping customers across the UK and Spain to overcome their unique struggles and maximise their health and happiness – encouraging them to also put wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.

I’m so happy to have reached this point and have a work role that gives me true meaning and purpose – at last!”
