NEW TO HEALTH COACHING? My SPARK Intro Package gets you started with 4 sessions over 2 months at £50 /session.
I'm Theresa Jones-Saxton (you can call me Tess), an acupuncturist and health coach based in the Thames Valley. I'm also someone who lives with chronic pain and an energy-limiting health condition. I know what it's like to plan a day around how much you have left to give, to push through and pay for it later, and to feel like your body is something you're managing rather than thriving in.
I spent over 15 years working in wellness and fitness — as a personal trainer, yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, and most recently massage therapist — before my own body forced me to rethink how I worked and lived. Along the way it was being under the care of other yoga instructors and acupuncturists, plus a health coach and chiropractor — not conventional medical treatment alone — that finally moved the needle to improve my quality of life.
That combination - over a decade of movement expertise, personal lived experience, practical support that fits real life, and the benefits of complementary care is exactly what I offer my clients. Think of me as the plus one you can add to your existing medical team to fill in and enhance what's often missing from a GP appointment.
I work most closely with people navigating chronic pain, energy-limiting conditions, and chronic stress or anxiety — different presentations, same need for care that actually fits your life and who you are. My approach is client focused, pacing-aware, judgment-free, and trauma informed to be built around what's sustainable for you, not a cookie cutter plan. And if you're here for relaxation, general wellness, healthy ageing, or another health goal altogether, you're just as welcome — whatever brought you in, we'll build a plan around where you actually are.
I look forward to getting to know you,
Tess
