Hi I'm Gill, founder of Farthing Health.
Certified Health Coach with over 25 years’ experience as a Cardiac Nurse Specialist. My vision is to empower individuals to take ownership of their heart health, helping them to build confidence, clarity, and purpose as they make positive, lasting changes.
My approach blends clinical knowledge with a supportive coaching style. Whether it’s improving your diet, building healthier routines, or managing stress, I’ll guide you step by step, without judgement or pressure.
I specialise in working with men who may not have always prioritised their health but are now ready to take action. I believe everyone has the ability to make positive meaningful steps to improve their health.
Lasting change takes time and commitment. Let's focus on progress not perfection.
Based in Winchester, Hampshire, I provide online and in person sessions.
