Meet Rebecca:
Guiding You Toward Holistic Change
Scientific expertise, coaching experience and a human approach to helping you tip the balance in your life.
You found me!
I’m Dr Rebecca Brooks (Becca as soon as we have been introduced) and I’m the Founder of Tip the Balance – a Coaching Practice rooted in science, compassion and real-life support. My professional journey, my personal passion and the ethos behind building Tip the Balance all converge here, in supporting you, whether you’re an individual looking to optimise your health and performance, a family wanting to build wellness into your everyday lives or an organisation keen to invest in your workforce wellbeing. With the right support, you can empower lasting change and thrive as your best possible self.
Tip the Balance reflects our core philosophy – wellbeing isn’t an all-or-nothing matter. It’s about small shifts, consistent habits, strategic interventions and human support.
My background is within human and health sciences, covering over 20 years in this field, beginning as a research scientist in biological sciences and infectious diseases, developing as a practitioner in nutritional sciences and then looking at many more of the psychosocial aspects of lifestyle medicine and health. A comprehensive understanding of the human body and its many different systems allows me to build a holistic picture and therefore approach to supporting the individual in front of me. Understanding what then drives our thoughts, behaviours, actions and therefore outcomes create a further picture of what drives your ‘disturbance in the force’.
Over time I have recognised that true wellbeing is not easy to define. It’s even more complex when we cannot define what is challenging our wellbeing or the outcomes that challenge is creating. This is why we don’t just need more information to paralyse us into further inertia and confusion. We need tailored, personalised support, “meeting you where you are at”, and helping you understand how to apply the plan to your everyday life, whether that’s at home, with your family or in your workplace, amongst your team. YOU are the expert in your life. We are your guide, companion and facilitator, helping you harness your resources to align your physical health, mental resilience, emotional and social connection and all-important sense of purpose.
In creating Tip the Balance I took years of experience of working with individuals and groups of clients and built an elemental approach to wellbeing; one that honours our individual uniqueness, that takes into account science, but not the hype and distractions we are fed every day via social media, that respects the inter-connectedness of body, mind and the environments we find ourselves in. In doing so I wear multiple hats – Coach, Practitioner, Speaker & Educator, Walk & Fitness Instructor, Green Wellbeing Advocate, Sounding Board, Challenger, Compassionate and/or Critical Friend – because lasting change and true balance comes from being prepared to look at every aspect of life – what we do, how we feel, how we think and how we connect.
At Tip the Balance we recognise that although we specialise in a broad-spectrum approach to wellbeing and performance, some clients benefit from more targeted input. That is why we created the Clinic Without Walls TM – a network of carefully-curated referral partners, on hand to support you with your specific needs. These trusted professional partners work closely and collaboratively with us to ensure you receive the most appropriate support; never being left to navigate the system alone. Coordinated referrals, follow-up support and integration of specialist insights then feeds back into your overall plan.
So, this is your chance to work with a host of qualified, experienced professionals who blend scientific, clinical and coaching expertise. We create plans that are not generic, they are yours, benefiting from our inclusive, holistic and integrative philosophy with strategies and support that work in the real world. If you’re ready to tip the balance toward greater vitality, performance, resilience and meaningful wellbeing, let’s explore how we can work together. I can’t wait to meet you.
