Meet Your Host, YvonneB!

Yvonne is a self-care coach, award-winning women’s health advocate, and catalyst for change, reconnecting women to their innate power through self-care. In a world that is constantly demanding us to do more, Yvonne focuses on raising women’s self-awareness, and confidence, bringing their life into alignment with their core values whilst taking necessary actions to develop healthy habits that enhance their wellbeing & life.

Although she had prior experience in coaching & training in the fitness & corporate world, following her redundancy Yvonne trained as a life coach and NLP Practitioner with a mission to help women build their confidence and unlock their potential. What she came to realise over a number of years was the potency of blending these coaching skills with her 38 years of experience in the health & fitness industry, supporting and encouraging women in their mid-life to regain control of their wellbeing through the prioritisation of self-care. 

As a woman in her 50s, a mother and grandmother she understands how easy it is to allow one’s own health to go on the back burner in the pursuit of meeting everyone else’s needs and expectations but also recognises this martyr-type approach often leads to resentment, high stress, depression, and burnout.

As a qualified Personal Trainer, Nordic Walking Instructor, Nutrition Coach, Physical Intelligence Coach & Nature Facilitator, and passionate about maintaining mind, body & soul connection for meaningful wellness, Yvonne blends her many skills to help women rediscover and connect with their powerful self, putting their health first so that they have the energy and potential to take on the world! 

Yvonne is also the G100 UK Country Chair for Healthcare & Wellness, joining forces with women leaders across the globe to change the face of women's health.

Permission To Thrive was founded by Yvonne Bignall, and in her own words:

"It is my belief that as empowered women we know the importance of nourishing & nurturing our beautiful unique selves and through this act, we are able to resource others with love, skills, and knowledge. We just don't prioritise it.

But now we have the opportunity to… together!"

This is about taking a journey together to develop healthy mindsets, create value-focused habits, and absorb personal growth strategies that enable us to squeeze more fun, energy & joy out of life whilst fulfilling the commitments that matter to us; guilt-free, doubt-free, and without judgment.

A Big Thanks

"Your support means everything because I believe together is how we best bring about the changes we want for ourselves and the world around us. I'm only one woman, together, we are an AWESOME community!"
