I walked away from the toxic world of reality TV - AND now I help the people it broke heal, recover, and thrive.

I was sat in The Ivy when my agent laid out the plan: “It’s been arranged — you’ll date x - the famous actor who can’t come out as gay. We’ll pretend it’s love, sell the story, stage an engagement. Once the press are hooked, you’ll get the top TV jobs.”
All I had to do was sell my soul!
Lie to my parents, my friends, the public — all to get press and raise my profile.
There was even talk of me doing a reality show to share our relationship & sex secrets to seal the deal!!
I’d just self-published my first book Sort Out Your Crap Life — it hit the Amazon best seller list. But no one cared. Personal development wasn’t hot. Mental health wasn’t marketable.
Instead, I was being groomed to play a part in the machine that leaves lives wrecked and souls empty.
So I quit. I walked away from television and a career I loved. I refused to trade my integrity for airtime.
Instead, I committed to something real: working out my life. I was deeply unhappy. Playing the TV game had taken its toll, so I chose to heal. I deep-dived into my grief, complex PTSD, and fractured identity — pain shaped by the suicide of my childhood sweetheart, the constant talk about my body weight, the loss of my grandparents, and the decision to walk away from my career before its toxicity could consume me.
While the industry churned out clickbait and casualties, I was quietly building a toolkit to rebuild my life.
I lost so much. I had to start again. It took years, and for a long time, it felt like an uphill battle. But I’m proud of myself for walking away from the machine that has taken so many lives — including fellow presenter Caroline Flack ( we auditioned against each other ) and countless other reality TV stars.
It took me 7 painful years, and I met them all on the way: the therapists, the conmen, the mystics, the liars. But I found my way through.
Now, I help reality stars, influencers, and anyone crushed by modern life and the weight of media to heal — for real.
I founded The Kambo Clinic in London — a clinical, trauma-informed space where deep healing begins.
And I host The Wisdom Gym Podcast & App — where we explore the real tools and therapies that work, the ones that don’t, and how to build your own Tool Kit to help you work out your life.
Because life is messy. But with the right tools — and the willingness to do the work — it can become something extraordinary.
Lets Work Together
Whether you’re looking for a powerful podcast conversation, a speaker who brings real-life experience to the stage, or deep, transformational healing — I’m here for it.
I collaborate with media platforms, brands, and individuals who want to have honest conversations about healing, personal growth, and the reality behind the screen. I also work directly with those ready to transform through therapeutic practice, coaching, and Kambo medicine.

I Walked Away — and Started Again
When I left television, I wasn’t just walking away from the industry — I was walking away from the version of me it had built. I’d spent years being told to lose weight for TV. I was considered a plus-size model at a size 12 and was constantly reminded that my body was a “problem” that needed to be fixed.
I didn’t know who I was without the presenter title, the voiceovers, the press events.
But I knew I wanted one thing:
To fall in love with myself.
So I started what I called “Operation Goddess” — my personal mission to rediscover who I was beyond the screen, beyond the shame, beyond the grief that had swallowed me after the suicide of my childhood sweetheart.
I tried everything. I went all out searching for the modality that would “Fix me”. At one point, I was hosting in a burlesque club — and for the first time in years, I felt at home in my body. I wasn’t there to shrink or hide — I was there to shine, curves and all. Burlesque helped me reclaim my beauty, my sensuality, my power.
But the pain was still there — the grief, the trauma, the search for answers.
That’s when I found my way to Psychic Today, where I hosted for 9 years. I led conversations with spiritual teachers, psychics, and healers from all traditions. I learned so much — but I also saw how many gifted people would freeze in front of a camera, unable to bridge their wisdom to the wider world.
That’s where I shone.
I have a unique gift for making others feel safe, relaxed, and able to shine. I know how to ask the right questions to set people up for success — and I have this rare ability to create a space where guests feel comfortable enough to share their deepest truths.
It’s this energy that made me such a powerful and authentic presence on live TV — and it’s a skill I bring to every interview, stage, and conversation I host today.
I worked in that space, while continuing my career in voiceovers for ITV, BBC, MTV and many more. But privately, I was still searching for deeper healing — not just for my grief, but for the parts of me that still didn’t feel whole.
So I trained:
As a Metaphysical Counsellor
In CBT Hypnotherapy
In Tapping
And I kept exploring every modality I could find.
Then I found Kambo — the South American frog medicine — and it changed everything. It helped me clear the pain I thought would never leave. It gave me back my body, my mind, and my direction.
It was so profound, I trained in it myself — and launched The Kambo Clinic the week lockdown ended, kicking it off with a feature on ITV’s Ferne McCann: First Time Mum.
Where I Am Now
“I’ve evolved from presenter to practitioner — blending broadcast experience with therapeutic expertise to help people work out their lives.”
I’m a lifestyle broadcaster, and therapist specialising in self-empowerment and the mind, body, spirit connection — with over 17 years of experience. I still do the voiceovers and I have my own projects and businesses.
Through my Kambo Clinic, I help others — including reality stars, influencers, and creators — heal from the impact of media, burnout, and unresolved trauma with Kambo: a powerful traditional medicine from the Amazon, known for its ability to cleanse the body, reset the nervous system, and release deep emotional and energetic blockages.
Through my Wisdom Gym Podcast, I open up conversations and experiences that explore the real tools, therapies, and teachers that help people work out their lives — just like I did.
The Wisdom Gym App that accompanies the podcast is a membership platform designed to help you explore and experience a wide range of healing modalities, classes, and practices — all focused on working through emotions, life blocks, and personal growth. It features an incredible line-up of teachers, each sharing their expertise across different styles and approaches, so you can build a well-rounded toolkit for deep, lasting transformation.
Because healing isn’t a mystery.
It’s a workout — and I help people create their own kitbag of tools to work out their life.
