Hi, I’m Farnaaz.

My journey into resilience didn’t start in a classroom or a boardroom. It started in my own life.

I know what it feels like to face overwhelming challenges, both personally and professionally. Times when the pressure felt relentless, and I wondered if I had the strength to keep going.

But those experiences became the turning point. They taught me that resilience isn’t about never falling, It’s about finding the strength to rise again, with more clarity, courage, and purpose than before.

That’s why I’m passionate about what I do today.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve transformed those lessons into multi-award-winning resilience programmes, helping thousands of people rise above stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm to create lives and careers they truly love.

My mission is simple:

To empower you to build the resilience you need at every stage of life so you can rise above your challenges and thrive beyond them.

Fun Facts:

Born under African skies

I grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, and carry the warmth of the African sun with me wherever I go.

Cold water, hot focus

I start my mornings with an ice bath to supercharge my energy, focus, and productivity.

Daily non-negotiables

No matter what the day holds, I always make space for movement and meditation.

From GP to changemaker

Driven by a deep commitment to community, I created and ran a voluntary mental health workshop for 9 years, transforming lives and earning recognition through multiple local and national awards.

Honoured for impact

I was recognised on the Queen’s Birthday Honours List and awarded a British Citizens Award for healthcare at the House of Lords for my work in resilience

Standing strong

I have all my challenging or important conversations on my feet keeping my energy high and ensuring powerful, positive outcomes.

Awards and Honours​​

With over 15 years of experience in developing and delivering multi-award-winning resilience programmes, I empower individuals to overcome challenges and thrive in both their personal and professional lives. As an NLP Practitioner, Executive Coach, and DISC-certified facilitator, I have a deep understanding of how resilience influences all aspects of life. My expertise is informed by my background as a GP and former Medical Director, where I gained invaluable insights into stress, pressure, and change. Having held leadership roles within the NHS, I recognise the critical importance of building mental and emotional resilience to navigate life's complexities.

I offer resilience workshops in four key areas, each tailored to address specific challenges: building resilience as a parent, managing menopause, strengthening relationships, enhancing personal, professional and team resilience. My holistic approach equips individuals with the tools, support, and strategies needed for lasting change. With my extensive experience, I am well-placed to guide you through these transformative journeys, helping you emerge stronger, more confident, and better prepared to handle life's challenges.
