Deborah : Certified Holistic Wellness Coach
Hi! I’m Deborah, co-founder of Neostara, based in Burton-on-Trent in UK. I am a certified holistic wellness coach with the International Association of Wellness Professionals and a member of the UK Health Coaches Association.
Wellness in my life
Originally from France, I moved England the age of 23 to complete my chemistry degree and have been here ever since. I have always had a passion for nutrition which came naturally to me probably due to being French! My pursuit for all-round wellness grew stronger through overcoming physical health issues of my own, as well as being exposed to health issues that my close family went through. I started implementing postural work and weekly yoga practice in order to overcome persistent back pain. Then I gradually adapted my nutrition by regularly experimenting with healthier meals and snacks. Eventually I incorporated daily meditation to start my mornings with a calm mindset, and made the most of countryside walks around us with our shith tzu dogs.
My path to Holistic Wellness Coaching
In parallel, my career has evolved through different roles, and eventually led me to being in an office team management position. I was excited to be in a job where I could help and support people, which I am deeply passionate about. I knew that there would be challenges and responsibilities associated with being in a managerial position. But as the job progressed, I found that I was getting more and more overwhelmed by stress due to the demands of the job, as well as the high expectations I was putting upon myself. At one point, it felt like I was being pulled in different directions, struggling to juggle everything and not knowing where to start to try to fix it. The stress I was experiencing started causing me physical health issues (digestion/bloating, skin rashes, buzzing sensation in my ears).
Throughout this period I was lucky to have the support of my family and to be coached by my brother. I slowly worked on prioritising myself and my needs by taking proper time to breathe and by asking for support. Then I re-organised myself and worked on my mindset to regain perspective on what really matters in life. By re-evaluating what mattered to me most, I realised that helping others was the main driver. When it became clear that I could combine my passion for wellness with helping others to overcome stress and being overwhelmed, in the same way that I did, I decided to embark on a journey to become a holistic wellness coach.
