Health. Made Simple.

About Becky Balzano

I’m Becky, an ICF-accredited Coach, certified Health and Nutrition Coach, and professional member of the UK and International Health Coaching Association. But before I tell you about my qualifications, let me tell you why I do this work.

I’ve been where you are. I know what it’s like to feel operational but depleted. To know what helps, but struggle to do it consistently. As someone navigating perimenopause and ADHD while raising two teenage boys, I understand the complexity of trying to maintain your health when your brain works differently and life pulls you in multiple directions. I’ve struggled with my own relationship with food and weight management, and I’ve seen how stress and overwhelm can lead to patterns we know aren’t serving us.

For over a decade, I was HR Director and co-owner of a successful Cambridge food business, managing a team of 17 diverse employees while doubling our turnover. I understand the real-world pressures of leading teams, hitting targets, and building resilient businesses, all while trying to maintain your own health and wellbeing. That experience taught me that sustainable performance requires sustainable self-care, not heroic effort.

The transition from business ownership to health coaching wasn’t accidental. I became fascinated by the gap between knowing and doing, why capable, intelligent people struggle to consistently apply health knowledge that they genuinely understand. The answer lies in behavioural science, neurodiversity, and working with our biology rather than against it.

Today, I work with organisations including the NHS, Cambridge University Press, Savills, JDE, M&S, and Airbus, delivering resilience and wellbeing training. I facilitate on EIT Food’s Women Entrepreneurs in Leadership Programme and support start-ups through Cambridge University Judge Business School. But my real passion is 1:1 coaching with midlife professionals who are tired of the yo-yo cycle and ready for sustainable change.

My approach is grounded in five core values that shape everything I do. I believe in freedom, you have choice and autonomy in your health decisions, and I’m your partner, not your dictator. I value growth through continuous learning, sharing the latest science while you discover what works for you. I practise honesty, no false promises or sugar-coating, just transparent communication about what change really takes. I’m committed to simplicity, making complex health information accessible because health should be made simple, not complicated. And I believe in connection, whether working 1:1 or in groups, you’re not doing this alone.

I specialise in helping people navigate workplace stress and burnout, chronic fatigue despite adequate sleep, afternoon energy crashes and sugar cravings, and the frustrating cycle of knowing what to do but not doing it consistently. I work particularly well with those managing midlife hormonal changes or ADHD traits, and professionals who need sustainable solutions that fit their actual lives.

My methodology, the SHINE approach, focuses on creating sustainable and supported change, building science-backed habits that stick, developing individualised strategies because health is deeply personal, providing nurturing support that creates safety for growth, and empowering you with tools for long-term autonomy.

What sets me apart is my understanding that you don’t need to try harder, you need to work smarter. My background in People Teams, combined with NLP and advanced training in health coaching and behaviour change, means I approach your health challenges the same way I’d approach any complex business problem: with curiosity, strategy, and systems thinking.

I’ve climbed Kilimanjaro, trekked to Everest Base Camp, and swum around the Isles of Scilly. But the biggest adventure has been learning that sustainable health isn’t about heroic, dramatic transformations, it rarely is. It’s about small, consistent choices that honour both your goals and your real life.

Whether you’re ready for deep 1:1 work, want clarity through a SHINE Reflection session, or prefer the accountability of group coaching, I’m here to support you in creating change that actually lasts.

Since working with Becky, I have experienced shifts on multiple levels – both in my work and personal life. Becky has a unique ability in uncovering blocks and reframing, which has not only helped me step into what I truly desire, but also has uncovered beliefs and thoughts that were holding me back – affecting many area’s of my life. Becky is probably the most humble person I have met when it comes to her abilities. I would highly recommend her if you need help with anything that is blocking you from reaching your potential and living a life of happiness
