The Evolution of Supporting Balance

In 2017 I trained as a Root Cause Protocol Consultant and also as a Life Coach. Later that year, I established Supporting Balance health coaching as an evolution from a previous small business which focused primarily on supporting people with food intolerances and allergies. My personal health journey ignited my passion for helping others to find balance in their own health (read our story). Through Supporting Balance, I have been able to consolidate both my formal training, skills and life experience in a truly beautiful way.

Why Supporting Balance Exists

At the centre of what we do is empowering our clients to learn to be their own health “guru”. Whether their health concerns are related to food intolerances and allergies (like our story); low iron, hormonal imbalances, chronic pain, or other symptoms or diagnoses, we help them believe in their own capacity to feel what is right for their body and to become their own best advocate.

Experiencing significant health challenges can spur us to ‘do our own research’, and seek out a coach who can support us to find answers to why these health concerns have occurred. For so many people (our family included) we are searching for more than just a band-aid. We want to heal our health at the source.

When we keep asking questions – yet don’t receive an answer, or are left second guessing ourselves, we can become overwhelmed. Rarely do we really get to the underlying reason of WHY we are where we are and as a result, it is challenging to find out what we can do to heal.

I knew my work was one way people could create real change. That’s why I founded Supporting Balance! To connect the dots behind the ‘why’ and help rebuild strong foundations for deep healing through whole food nutrients, key minerals, stress management, and self-awareness.

My Role in The Root Cause Protocol (RCP)

Throughout 2017, I started to work as a contractor for the Root Cause Protocol (RCP) to help build the worldwide message of health and wellbeing that it represents. I was a very active community member and a moderator in RCP communities. I ran live webinar events alongside the RCP Director that year – long before it was the ‘done’ thing for so many!

As the years went by, I gained confidence and experience as a practitioner, mentor, and leader within the RCP Institute.

Transitioning from the RCP Business

In December 2025 my role with the RCP business came to an abrupt end, following the owner’s decision to move the business strategy in a very different direction. While this was unexpected and my exit was swift, I am here to take a moment to reassure the Supporting Balance community that while my professional path has shifted, my core mission remains the same.

What’s changing (and what’s not)

While I am no longer working with the RCP Director, nor the RCP as a company, I remain committed to the principles that underpin it. I continue to follow the steps of the RCP personally and support clients who are navigating their own journey using the protocol.

Before January 2025, I worked directly within the RCP business while also running Supporting Balance, mentoring practitioners, and helping clients. Now, I still do exactly the same things except not any roles within the RCP business—just with more time and freedom to do them even better!

My role in educating and guiding people on mineral balance, stress, and foundational health strategies has not changed.

Supporting Balance is not going anywhere; if anything, this transition has opened up new opportunities to expand how I support you.

My Core Mission Remains the Same

Educating and guiding people on mineral balance, stress, and foundational health

Providing personalised client support

Creating new courses and training

Mentoring practitioners

The journey that brought me here

For over seven years, I played a pivotal role in the RCP’s growth, from behind the scenes operations and administration, to leading and moderating the RCP’s Facebook group and pages.

My contributions included:

Moderating the RCP Facebook group and pages
Leading live training sessions and mentoring students worldwide
Supporting graduates and practitioners within the RCP Alumni
Hosting public webinars and Q&A sessions
Overseeing RCP Institute operations, administration, and marketing (ie I covered almost ever facet of the business!)

One of my biggest passions was making complex health concepts accessible to everyone, regardless of their scientific background. I am incredibly proud of the impact I had on the RCP community and the thousands of lives I helped transform, including team members I now leave behind..

My work within the RCP was deeply rewarding, and I am incredibly grateful for the relationships I’ve built and the impact I’ve had on the business as well as the ripple effect with every single person who uses the RCP in their practice and lives. I’ve learned so much, I’ve developed so many skills which I know have benefitted 100,000’s of people already, and will continue to benefit even more as time goes by!

However, as with all things, change is inevitable. The economic landscape shifted, priorities within the RCP business evolved, and my path has taken me out of the RCP itself. And I am so ready to go in a new direction, focusing on my own business, Supporting Balance.

New opportunities with Supporting Balance

If you’ve benefited from my teachings in the past, you’ll be excited to hear that I’m now creating new courses and training opportunities that will allow me to share my knowledge even more effectively. Whether you’re looking for guidance on minerals, stress resilience, mentoring as a practitioner or personalised health strategies, Supporting Balance will continue to be a trusted resource.

Additionally, this transition means I have more time to work directly with clients. It also gives me additional capacity to further mentor my team members and help them to grow, which is very exciting for me too.

If you’ve been considering booking a session or diving deeper into your health journey, now is a fantastic time to do so. There’s no better time than right now!

Continuing the mission to support your health and well-being

I know that seeing big changes in a space you trust can be unsettling. But let me be clear: I am still here. Supporting Balance is still here. The same principles, guidance, and dedication to empowering people with practical, sustainable health coaching strategies remain unchanged, including the Root Cause Protocol. I am no longer involved in the RCP business but I do still employ, teach and believe in the protocol and its ability to transform health. For those who want to read more details about my transition out of the RCP business, I’ve shared a public post on my Facebook profile.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I look forward to continuing to support you in achieving better health—through minerals, knowledge, and practical solutions that make a real difference.
