The story, purpose and passion behind The Longevity Coach.
Why I do this work
Why I do this work
I’m Natalie, a certified Health Coach, qualified level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer, and the founder of The Longevity Coach.
In 2020, my Nana died after living with Alzheimer’s disease. Losing her was incredibly painful, but it became a real turning point for me. I began thinking more deeply about prevention, ageing well and how our everyday choices can influence the quality of the years we live.
We cannot control everything, and healthy living can never offer guarantees. But many long-term health conditions are influenced by lifestyle, and there is so much we can do to support our future strength, health and independence.
That belief and passion to help others gave me the courage to leave my corporate career, retrain and follow my passion for health and wellbeing.
The long and good life™
The long and good life™
While Nana’s experience showed me why prevention matters, my Grandad showed me what living well into our senior years could look like.
He lived to 94 and remained active and independent well into later life. He walked regularly, stayed connected with his community, ate well and gently exercised everyday. His daily habits and positive actions supported him to live a fulfilled life.
This is what I want to help everyone to do - not only adding years to your life, but adding life to your years.
Why supporting women matters to me
Women are often underserved in the health and wellbeing industry. Too many of us have felt judged, overlooked or unsure whether they belong, particularly when beginning or returning to exercise, navigating midlife or simply trying to put themselves first again.
I offer something different.
A safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space where women have the right to move, build strength, ask questions and grow in confidence without pressure or comparison.
As we age, the foundations of our health matter more than ever. But women are often carrying so much already and it can prove overwhelming and exhausting to look after yourself when others need you.
My role is to help make those foundations feel realistic, achievable and rooted in everyday life, so women can begin prioritising themselves again. No more feelings of guilt, fear or restriction, but instead, empowering you to do something now that your future self will thank you for.
My training and experience
My training and experience
I trained as a Health and Wellbeing Coach with the Dr Sears Wellness Institute in the United States, specialising in realistic lifestyle strategies that support everyday health through evidence-informed, prevention-focused approaches.
I later deepened my knowledge by completing certification in Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine through the Royal College of General Practitioners. I am also proud to be a member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, helping me continue to learn and develop my practice.
More recently, I qualified as a Level 2 Gym Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer. This allows me to combine health coaching with safe, tailored exercise through one-to-one and small-group personal training.
I also have training and experience in counselling, mental health first aid and yoga-based approaches. These are valuable tools when supporting people through habitual change, confidence building and life transitions.
Over the years, I have worked across community health and wellbeing programmes connected with NHS, public health and local prevention priorities. I am passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion and I believe that everyone deserves to live the long and good life in a way that is authentic to their story and circumstances.
My work has taken many forms, but the purpose has always remained the same: to help people live well for longer and make meaningful choices today that support a healthier, stronger and more vibrant future.
In the Press & Community Partnerships
I am proud to have had my work featured in local, national and international media.
Across Shropshire, I also collaborate with wellbeing studios, organisations and community teams to deliver health and wellbeing talks, workshops and prevention-focused support.
Listen to my story on Spotify - I was the first Health and Wellbeing Coach featured on the international Conversations with Coaches podcast.
When I'm not helping others to thrive, I enjoy living the long and good life by moving my body, eating great food, spending quality time with loved ones and having fun with my beloved dog! I love listening to health and wellbeing podcasts, gardening, interior design and I'm a sucker for photographing a sunset.
I love to travel and was very fortunate to spend 4 years living in Las Vegas U.S.A., enhancing my passion to live a healthy, outdoorsy life. I'm now happily living back in the UK, in the beautiful county of Shropshire where a slower pace of life serves me perfectly.
