About Noni

My Retreats

I’m Noni. I work with people who look fine on the outside but feel disconnected on the inside. My approach is direct, grounded and human. No sugarcoating. No spiritual theatrics. Just clarity, truth and practical support that actually lands.

I didn’t get here through theory. My life has held addiction, trauma, burnout, misdiagnosis, chronic pain and full collapse. I rebuilt myself more than once, body, mind and nervous system. That’s why people come to me. I understand what it takes to claw your way back to yourself.

My background spans gut health, mental health first aid, trauma-informed mentoring, addiction recovery, bodywork, luxury wellness, energy work and nervous-system regulation. A wide toolkit built over decades, not a weekend course.

  • "I will be heard and understood"

    Noni has helped me navigate some extremely challenging personal situations in the last decade.

    She has helped me overcome my alcohol dependency and understand who I actually am without it. I now enjoy living life again.

    She’s supported me through problems in challenging personal relationships — helping me recognise the other side of my issues and offering a different perspective, which can be hard when you're wrapped up in your own emotions.

    She’s always very direct but kind, clear and concise. I feel confident that when I speak to her about any of my life concerns, I will be heard and understood. Then I get an honest breakdown of the issues and alternative solutions that help me see: there’s always a way through.

  • "Working with Noni was the start of finding my power again"

    I came to Noni when I was lost inside a relationship that controlled and diminished me. I didn’t realise how much of myself I’d handed over and basically forgotten about, until she helped me see it, gently but truthfully.

    Working with her was the start of finding my power again, my spark. She held space for my pain and called me forward into my strength. I’ll never forget the moment I realised I wasn’t broken, or odd.  I was just numb and a bit lost,  but finally I was waking up and taking back my life.

    Noni changed my life, and I’ll always be grateful.

  • "Noni helped me find me again"

    When I first spoke to Noni, I was exhausted and empty. The kids were grown, the house was quiet, and my marriage felt like two flatmates sharing a to-do list. I’d even started looking at divorce solicitors, not because I wanted to leave, but because I couldn’t see any way back, we didn’t communicate effectively or at all.

    Noni helped me find me again, the woman who laughed, flirted, and felt alive. She gave me practical ways to rebuild connection and honest insight that made me see my husband and myself differently. I realised a lot of silent resentment had slipped in between us.

    Now? I’m buying cute outfits and counting down to date nights. We’re communicating, laughing, and rediscovering what made us fall in love in the first place. I never imagined I’d feel giddy about my own marriage again, but here we are.

How I Work

I help you calm the overwhelm, cut through the noise and reconnect to your own wiring, especially if you’re neurodivergent or have spent years masking.

I’m not chasing “normal” for you. There is no normal. It’s conditioning, expectations and old rules we absorbed without ever checking if any of it made sense.

My work is about empowering you to live in a way that aligns with your actual capacity and the system you’re running, not the system you think you should be able to run.
I work with what’s real for you, not the version you’ve been forcing yourself into.

Why I Run These Retreats

Most people are running on empty.

These retreats act as a circuit-breaker, a quiet space to rest, reset and come back to centre.

No perfection. No performance.

Just you, unmasked, learning what actually supports your system.

What You Can Expect

Straight talk.

Safety.

Depth.

Tools you can use immediately.

A space where you don’t have to pretend.

Not a full life overhaul, just a shift back into yourself.
