Hi I'm Gill, founder of Farthing Health. I have over 25 years of experience as a cardiac nurse specialist. Now a certified Health Coach, I am passionate about empowering people to take charge of their health.
Living with a heart condition or having risk factors doesn’t mean giving up on living your best life. I am here to support you every step of the way on your journey to better health and wellness.
Based in Winchester, Hampshire, I offer both online and in-person health coaching sessions. My approach is supportive yet challenging. I value the importance of integrity, purpose, trust, and growth.
With extensive cardiac health expertise I provide a whole person approach, ensuring you are in the driving seat. I am committed to helping you build a healthier, happier future, with confidence and clarity.
