Meet our lead trainer and founder, Nathalie Kealy
My journey into mental health, began over 15 years ago, completing a BSc Mental Health Nursing degree. I then began working in the NHS, where I began to embed and build on my skills and knowledge in therapy, risk management and psychological wellbeing.
I’ve always had a passion for service re-design and project innovation, and continue to work in the NHS within divisional level management, overseeing the mental health crisis service within acute hospitals and related projects.
Alongside my NHS career, I have a deep interest in holistic healing and have completed trainings in yoga, meditation and compassion focused therapy. On the back of this, 6 years ago, I set up Value Your Mind. With my background in both the NHS and holistic practises, I support individuals with their mental wellbeing through retreats, workshops and trainings. Value Your Mind’s retreats have been recommended in many publications over the years, including the Guardians top 10 retreats in Europe.
