Deborah is a project manager and wellbeing facilitator in the Corporate arena and Film & TV sector.
Originally from New Zealand, my background lies in project management of blue-chip documentary films and complex logistics. I have had the privilege of working with high-profile talent, including David Attenborough—filming in 3D in the Galapagos Archipelago—coordinating Ben Affleck's mission to Sudan and Darfur for UNHCR, filming with Lewis Hamilton on the Grand Prix Circuit, and joining director Davis Guggenheim in filming Malala Yousafzai for He Named Me Malala.
I have worked for Shell International in London and Houston managing multiple stakeholders across business (Deep Water, Brand, Bitumen) and agencies. I have also worked as a Producer in the private sector for high net worths.
As a Wellbeing Facilitator, I support the company and the individual, impartially and in confidence. With my experience working in clinic with over 100 clients, I provide holistic, practical solutions and strategies in wellbeing. I have delivered to Discovery Communications global employees on Sleep, and as a Consultant, worked with companies and start ups in managing partnership and collaborations.
I hold a MSc (Hons) Holistic Nutrition and am registered with regulatory organisations, British Association of Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.
My unique background and experience allows me to excel at ‘seeing the dust on the horizon’, understanding complexity and logistics, managing multiple stakeholders, remaining calm under ‘fire’, operate with transparency, work unilaterally, being agile and thinking holistically, connecting with individuals, solution finding with practical advice, and caring for your team and stakeholders.

“Deborah worked with me on a nutrition and wellness plan with a view to improving my overall health. I loved her holistic approach, not only focusing on the dietary side, but also on appropriate supplements, sleep, mindfulness and fitness practices to name a few. I can highly recommend her to anyone wishing to make life changes, not just as a nutritionist but as an overall lifestyle coach as well.”
