About Me

Welcome! I’m Lis Thowney, a Female Strength and Resilience Coach

As a passionate strength and resilience coach, I help women who’ve experienced gynaecological conditions, fertility struggles, or birth trauma reclaim their power—so they can move from just surviving to truly living again.

I specialise in supporting women who have:

• Lived with chronic conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, or cysts

• Faced the challenges of IVF and fertility journeys

• Experienced traumatic births or difficult postpartum recoveries

My approach combines personal experience of gynaecological illness, IVF, and birth trauma, with professional training as an ICF-accredited life coach and my background as a paramedic. I bring a deep, trauma-informed understanding of women’s health—alongside practical tools that help women feel strong, steady, and seen.

Through a supportive coaching space, I guide women to reconnect with their inner strength, build resilience, and move forward with confidence—armed with real-life strategies they can use every day.

My Mission

My mission is to be a voice for women who have experienced gynaecological conditions, fertility struggles, or birth trauma—standing up for better care, fighting for change in the health system, and guiding women to reclaim their strength and resilience.

Through coaching, support, and advocacy, I help women feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward with confidence—no longer silenced by their experiences, but strengthened by them.

My Coaching Approach

My coaching process is designed to be supportive, structured, and adaptable to your unique needs. Over the course of 12 weeks, we will embark on a journey that includes:

1. Restoring the Body + Mind:

We start by slowing down. You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and create small daily rituals that support healing—without guilt.

2. Regulating Emotions + Reactions

You’ll explore how trauma and stress affect your responses, and build tools to manage anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout. This includes breathwork, grounding, and gentle mindset shifts.

3. Reconnecting with Self

This is about identity beyond pain. We’ll work on rebuilding your sense of self—who you are now, what matters to you, and how to live in line with your values.

4. Reframing Your Story

You’ll learn how to make sense of what’s happened, release blame, and step into your story with strength. We look at language, beliefs, and how to speak about your experience with power—not shame.

5. Reclaiming Strength + Moving Forward

By the end of the 12 weeks, you'll have practical tools, inner strength, and a plan for what’s next. Whether it’s work, relationships, or your wellbeing—you’ll know how to keep going without losing yourself.

My Qualifications

I am an ICF-accredited coach, which means I have undergone rigorous training and adhere to high professional standards in coaching. This accreditation equips me with the tools and methodologies to effectively support my clients through their career transitions. I continually engage in professional development to stay updated on the latest coaching techniques and strategies that can benefit my clients.

Personal Journey

I lived with endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, and cysts for over 30 years, eventually having a total hysterectomy in 2025. I went through IVF to have my son, and his birth during the COVID-19 pandemic was traumatic—poor care, a missed diagnosis of pre-eclampsia, and an emergency C-section led to postnatal depression.

Through it all, I had to keep going—as a mother, a paramedic, and a professional woman. That journey taught me deep resilience, and it’s why I now coach other women like me—to help them feel seen, supported, and strong again.
