Hello, I’m Ali, a Psychology-Informed Health & Mindset Coach, Osteopath, and Pilates Teacher based in Felixstowe. I’m also the creator of The Vitality Pathway programme, designed to help you achieve lasting health and wellbeing.

With a degree in osteopathy and a master's in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, I’ve spent over 27 years in health and wellness, blending physical treatment with psychological coaching to help clients transform both their bodies and minds. My journey began as a personal trainer, where I developed a deep understanding of movement biomechanics and muscle function. This foundation allows me to assess your physical condition and guide you in making the necessary lifestyle and movement changes to prevent future injuries.

As a Pilates teacher, I specialise in core stability, posture, and alignment—vital elements for treating chronic pain and improving overall function. Combining these Pilates principles with osteopathic techniques enhances your balance, strength, and flexibility, and supports effective injury rehabilitation.

Having faced my own health challenges, including breast cancer, Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), pulmonary embolism, heart ectopics, and more, I deeply understand the physical and emotional hurdles people encounter on their health journeys. These experiences have shaped my approach to treatment and coaching, allowing me to work with clients from a place of empathy and personal insight. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your own body, but I also know how to rebuild strength and resilience from within.

My background in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology has been pivotal in shaping my approach. I recognise that pain isn’t just physical—it’s also deeply linked to emotional and mental states. By integrating evidence-based psychology techniques into my practice, I help you address the stress, anxiety, and mindset challenges that often accompany chronic pain and recovery. This holistic approach empowers you to manage both the physical and emotional aspects of your health.

Through my combined expertise, I offer a truly personalised treatment plan that not only targets the symptoms but also empowers you with the tools and knowledge to take control of your health, build resilience, and achieve lasting wellbeing. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking to enhance your overall health, I’m here to help you feel better and thrive.

My interests are varied from reading and painting through to skiing, yoga, paddleboarding, walking, gym-ing, and generally anything being outdoors, in open space, puts a smile on my face. Oh and my gorgeous furry baby Luna the lunatic Patterdale.
