Essential Choices Health & Wellbeing
Belle Urquhart
Health & wellness coaching
Understand your stress. Protect your capacity.
Being capable of carrying it all doesn’t mean you have the capacity, or that you should have to.
Who I help
Professional women who are carrying a lot at work and at home.
The problem I solve
I help women manage stress and protect their capacity before overwhelm becomes burnout.
My point of difference
I bring a nursing background and a practical approach that starts with your real life and what’s possible within it.
My niche market
Professional women juggling demanding work, family and responsibility for others, who want to manage stress and protect their wellbeing before they’re running on empty. My particular strength is supporting women in health, caring and leadership roles.
Key benefits
* Understand what’s driving your stress and draining your energy. * Recognise when you’re nearing capacity, before overwhelm takes over. * Set boundaries that protect your wellbeing. * Build practical ways to support yourself through demanding seasons. * Make intentional changes that fit your real life.
Problems my clients avoid
* Stress building unnoticed until it becomes overwhelm or burnout. * Saying yes out of guilt when they’re already at capacity. * Carrying work stress into evenings, weekends and relationships. * Putting their own wellbeing last until they’re running on empty. * Staying caught in overthinking instead of finding a useful next step.
