LORNA macphail

A healthy body. A nourished life.

Being diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer at 19, followed by endometriosis a few years later, led me into a deeper exploration of my relationship with my body. It led me on a journey to fnd more natural and holistic ways to support my health.

In my twenties, I developed acid reflux and histamine related symptoms, including a dust allergy. In my thirties, I began struggling with digestive issues and bloating, and discovered that I had hereditary high cholesterol, for which I was prescribed statins.

These experiences deepened my desire to understand the root cause of these inflammatroy responses in the body. That curiosity became a sustained commitment to learning, personal practice and, eventually, supporting others.

The wisdom and practice behind my work

Over the past ten years, I have undertaken extensive study in therapeutic yoga, learning closely with Dr Kumar, a master yogi and scientist, with a particular focus on digestive and liver health.

My training encompasses nutrition, liver cleansing and detoxification practices, Ayurveda, therapeutic movement, breathwork, meditation and women’s hormonal health, alongside mindfulness, positive psychology and coaching.

I hold a BSc in Biological Sciences, and my coaching training is through the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). I am also a qualified mindfulness teacher for adults and young people and a member of the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA).

Alongside more than a decade working in health, wellbeing and personal development, I bring over twenty years’ experience across education, leadership, research and community development. This background brings scientific insight, practical teaching experience and an understanding of how people make meaningful changes in their lives.

HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP

Supporting the capacity to lead well

I am also co founder of Conscious FLO, a programme exploring the physiology of leadership in high pressure working environments.

We help leaders understand their internal responses to pressure and develop practices to support clear thinking, sound judgement, effective communication and sustained energy, strengthening their capacity to lead and perform at their best.

NATURE · CONNECTION · COMMUNITY

Rooted in nature and community

These days, you'll find me picking flowers in the garden and continuing my journey of learning about our native plants and finding ways to support my local community through education, creativity and health initiatives. Most recently by co founding The Connection Point, a charity supporting stronger communities where every child, young person, and family feels connected, supported, and able to reach their potential.
