MEETJess
Before I ever worked in breathwork and nervous system coaching, I was a performer myself. And I suppose I still am and always will be! It never really leaves you…
I spent so many years working in high-pressure, high-expectation environments where being “on” was non-negotiable. Long days, last-minute changes, constant evaluation and the pressure to deliver, no matter how I felt. I performed in the West End in School of Rock for two years and also featured in Jack Whitehall’s Netflix special Jack Whitehall: At Large among other things. I’m so grateful for the experiences I had back in my performance days but they also showed me first-hand what chronic pressure can do to the mind and body.
if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that i Care deeply about this work…
Behind the scenes, I dealt with anxiety, digestive issues (I’ve got one hell of an IBS story I could tell you) and relentless self-pressure. I looked fine on the outside, impressive even, but my nervous system was often living in overdrive. Back then, I didn’t have the language for nervous system regulation, but I did understand breath and body awareness. As a professional singer and a yoga teacher, I instinctively used my breath to steady myself, regulate my energy and stay grounded when things felt unpredictable.
That lived experience is the foundation of the work I do today.
I now specialise in nervous system, breathwork and wellbeing coaching, supporting performers, on-air professionals, artists and people working in high-pressure environments to regulate stress, improve focus and recover properly, not just push through. My approach blends evidence-based breathwork, nervous system and physiology to build practical, real-world tools that actually work when the stakes are high.
I’m trained in Breath Science, Oxygen Advantage and the Buteyko Method and I work with individuals, teams and groups to support stress, anxiety, burnout, sleep challenges and performance consistency. Alongside this I also have training in intrinsic biomechanics, I’m a qualified personal trainer and yoga teacher, I’m a mental health first aider and have experience working with a huge range of conditions, ages and clients.
Alongside my work with media and performance, I’m the founder of my own app, The Happy Healthy Club! An online wellbeing space offering weekly live classes, on-demand practices, journaling, breathwork and community support - designed to help people build consistency without pressure or perfection. It’s my little pride and joy that I love working on behind the scenes.
I also work with London gym chain Gymbox as the head of their Holistic category. In this role I recruit and train instructors, develop new classes and help shape progressive, accessible approaches to physical and mental fitness in this category.
I do this work because I truly know what it’s like to function at a high level while your nervous system struggles behind the scenes and I also know how powerful it is when you’re given the right tools to work with your body instead of fighting against it.
Client Reviews
Jess took the time to really listen, creating a programme that helped me change deep-seated habits. Her warm, highly professional and knowledgeable style gave me confidence to explore topics like anxiety and physical tension safely.
The techniques have improved my sleep, clarity of thought, release of tension, anxiety, and deep relaxation. I now have a “toolbox” I can refer back to any time I need it.

I am so blessed to have met Jess. She has honestly given me tools for life through her coaching. Not only have I noticed a difference in myself and how I handle situations and life’s stressors but close family members have also noticed too. Moving forward I’m now aware of how I can use my breath for what I need in the moment, whether that’s to feel relaxed, calm, energised or focused. This has truly been life changing and I have developed a new set of habits, tools and routines.

Jess creates such a supportive and safe environment and has such a wealth of knowledge I would recommend working with her without hesitation.
I wanted to work mostly on improving my sleep quality and see if we could help reduce my snoring. In 8 weeks with Jess I snoring less, sleeping deeper and waking up feeling more refreshed! She gave me tools and guidance to be more resilient to stress, manage energy levels, improve recovery, reduce shoulder tension and work through emotions, to name a few!
