Sarah Ashford

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a modern quilter and Wellness Coach, passionate about the mental health benefits of learning new skills, sewing, and creativity. This year, I’m writing a column on Wellness and Creativity for a popular Australian magazine, expanding the conversation around wellness.

I work with small cohorts of clients, supporting them one-on-one and overseas via Zoom. I love providing a listening ear, helping people set goals, and live with intention. I also volunteer with @finecellwork, supporting individuals transitioning from prison back into society.

For years, I struggled with exhaustion and overwhelm, but through my own journey, I learned how to prioritise my wellbeing. Now, I use my experience and training to help others make small, positive changes. Whether in person or online, my mission is to provide the space, tools, and support to help you become the best version of yourself.

Sophie Slosarczyk

Before my life took this beautifully slow turn, I spent 15 years in the medical field, earning my BSc (Hons) and PgDip in Diagnostic Radiography, Imaging, and Medical Ultrasound. I even lived in Australia, fulfilling my dream of traveling the world. But life led me down a different path—one that brought me here.

Now, alongside motherhood, I’m a qualified Wellbeing Coach (LL Cert) and soon-to-be MA student in Creative Writing (Poetry). Poetry, writing, and mindfulness have become my refuge, helping me navigate stress, anxiety, and exhaustion.

I specialize in women’s wellness—supporting emotional health, stress, burnout, and poor food relationships. Through 1-1 coaching, I help women move past what’s holding them back. Sessions include a pre-coaching questionnaire to tailor support, ensuring a private, confidential, and transformative experience.

Sally Rundell

I graduated from Southampton University with a Psychology degree and completed postgraduate studies in education, followed by a research master’s at the University of East Anglia. My national and international career in education spans all levels of the system. I began as an EYFS teacher, taught the full primary range, and later held various LA advisory roles. In 2005, the DfE appointed me as a regional and National Director for primary literacy in England.

After the National Strategies period, I became an LA Director of Learning, overseeing school improvement for 350 schools. Now, through my consultancy, I work with UNICEF, the National Literacy Trust, and headteachers across the UK. Recognising the challenges in education, I trained as a wellbeing coach, developing ‘The Achieving Balance Model’ to help education leaders sustain resilience while ensuring the best outcomes for children.

Laura Bamber

Having spent 15 years in the world of big corporate / finance leading global teams, I am here to change leadership for women. Through my work, I guide women to redefine leadership, confidence, success and visibility in a way that supports them to RISE authentically and radiantly.

I work with heart centred leaders – senior leaders in the corporate world and female founders. To help you to step into the fullest and most authentic expression of yourself and to support you to nurture the parts of you that have potentially been pushed aside – your intuition, your feminine essence, your joy, your unique gifts and your purpose.

The outcomes I achieve with my beautiful coaching clients: clarity on your unique, authentic leadership identity; greater sense of purpose at work; more presence; deeper connections in all work / life relationships, more god damn joy; increased energy and a balanced nervous system; the ability to better manage stress; and greater confidence to become visible as a leader
