 About Caroline (she/ her)

  • Hello,

    I’m Caz, thanks for checking out my website. Here’s a bit about me…

    I’m a Functional Medicine health coach, EFT tapping practitioner and yoga teacher, based in London.

    I’m queer, ADHD and riding the menopause rollercoaster but none of those things define me.

    And they certainly don’t need to be true of you because…

    My belief is that people are healthier and happier when they deeply listen and respond to what their body and mind are telling them. Never mind what seems to be working for anyone else.

    It’s been quite a journey of discovery for me to understand that about myself and finally meet my needs with honesty and compassion. Transformational, I’d say, and this isn’t overstating it. And lucky for me, I found techniques that allowed me to understand and make the changes I needed to make. These are the techniques I now share with my clients, to find greater health and happiness, their way.

    Other things you might want to know…

    I’m a mum of one daughter. The pregnancy, birth and aftermath were rough but we got through it. She’s my favourite human.

    I love working. Maybe it’s the ADHD, but being busy and connecting with people fills me up. I work mostly one-to-one but love groups too - there’s power in group energy.

    I’m trained as a Functional Medicine coach. That means I support people with personalised:

    • Exercise

    • Nutrition

    • Sleep

    • Stress Management

    • And Community

    And my favourite tool that I use is EFT because it helps to calm the brain, process difficult emotions and remove the things that get in the way of health and happiness. It’s been personally life-changing for me and I see the impact on my clients all the time.

    Finally, I’d like to add: I’m sunshine and showers. If I’m not laughing, I’m crying. I used to find it embarrassing but I’ve realised my ability to feel has given me a lot of empathy. I’m a happy person despite (or maybe because) of all the feels.

    If you’ve lost touch with what you really need and want, what brings you joy and energy, and your physical or mental health are suffering, I’m here for it. All of it and all of you. Exactly as you are. Book an intro call if you’d like to chat.

  • With EFT or ‘tapping’, the power is in your hands.

    EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique, a gentle, non-invasive tool that, as the name suggests, helps us gain freedom from strong emotions, ingrained beliefs that hold us back, and even physical issues such as pain and cravings.

    ​It involves using the fingers to tap on acupuncture points, on the face and body, while focusing on the issue at hand.

    ​I think of it like peeling back an onion skin, the layers of superficial but strong emotions are gradually peeled away to get to the core of an issue, allowing it to be understood more clearly, acknowledged and released.

    ​The technique is useful for letting go of unconscious or long-held patterns of behaviour or thinking. If you find yourself caught in repeated loops and you're ready to move on, EFT can be a very effective tool.

    It also helps deal with issues that feel intense now, reducing the intensity, and allowing you to take a step back and decide the best way to act rather than react.

  • Functional Medicine goes beyond symptoms of poor health and vitality to look at contributing factors – what you put in your body, how you use it and your genetics.

    We may not be able to change our genes but we can really influence how they are expressed by the choices we make.

    As an FM health coach, trained in positive psychology, motivational interviewing, Functional Medicine principles, psychology of eating, IFM food plans and mind-body techniques, I can support you to identify what makes you tick as well as providing you with solid, well researched information and techniques around diet, movement, stress and sleep, empowering you to take charge of your health.
