Meet Liz — Founder of Healthy New Me

Hello, I'm Liz. Registered nurse, health visitor, menopause coach, educator, mum of three, lifelong learner and a woman who knows that sometimes life takes us on a journey we never expected.

My professional life has always centred around people, health, wellbeing and helping others find their way through life's challenges. Over the years, I've worked as a nurse, health visitor, lecturer and senior academic, supporting people and families through different stages of life and helping others develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed choices.

But my understanding of health and wellbeing isn't based on professional qualifications alone. It comes from lived experience, too.

In 2022, following years of being told to lose weight, I lost six stone. That experience changed far more than my relationship with my body. It made me reflect deeply on health, habits, the messages we receive about ourselves and what it really takes to create change that lasts.

It also helped me recognise something important: we don't need more judgement, more guilt or another set of rules telling us how we should live. We need understanding, knowledge, support and the space to discover what works for us.

My own experiences, alongside my nursing, public health and menopause expertise, inspired me to create Healthy New Me.

Today, I bring together evidence-informed health education, behaviour change, nutrition, mindfulness and compassionate support to help women navigate change and build healthier lives in ways that work for them.

I'm particularly passionate about helping women understand their bodies, challenge the negative stories they've been told about themselves and recognise that their wellbeing deserves attention, too.

That's why I've created the Healthy New Me Healthy Habit Toolkits and Guidebooks.

These resources aren't about perfection, rigid rules or transforming yourself into somebody else. They're about pausing, reflecting, becoming curious about your habits and discovering what small changes might help you move towards the life you want to live.

I believe that every experience gives us an opportunity to learn, that progress doesn't have to be perfect and that understanding ourselves is often a more powerful starting point than criticising ourselves.

And away from Healthy New Me? I'm a wife, a mum, a dog and cat lover, and a woman who is still learning, growing and figuring things out as she goes. I certainly don't have all the answers, and I don't believe anyone does.

What I do have is a wealth of professional knowledge, a genuine passion for helping people and a belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, valued and supported.

Healthy New Me isn't about becoming somebody else. It's about discovering what helps you feel more like yourself.

So, whether you're here to explore your habits, understand yourself a little better, navigate menopause or simply take some time for you, I'm glad you've found your way here.

You don't have to have it all figured out.

You can start exactly where you are.

And who knows what wonderful things you might discover about yourself along the way?

With warmth,

Liz
