about welfy
Welfy exists because of a seed of an idea discussed over a kitchen table. It started with a question…
What if prioritising your energy and wellbeing was always first on the list, rather than last?
What would life look like?
After experiencing a physical and mental burnout at the age of 38, Vanessa became obsessed with answering this question. Climbing the ladder, fighting for the promotion, exceeding those KPIs. None of it had been worthwhile.
It had left her empty, depressed and with a serious autoimmune condition that rendered her rattling with drugs, unable to walk, drive or feed her baby. The model of relentless achievement was not the one for her.
So she walked out on her board level role and 20 year career in marketing and put all of her energy into getting drug free and in remission, retrained as a Coach, and Welfy was born.

Heather Carolan, Givaudan
Welfy have brought new insights and behaviours to our teams, beginning the process of thinking about wellbeing in a different way, especially in reinforcing our learning with clear, effective and actionable steps to start the process of change within our organisation. Working with Welfy has been a pleasure, as they are responsive and adaptable. Their delivery of workshops has been very well received by our global audience, and their content was innovative, clear and engaging.
Rachel Cox, Delta Capita
Well you did it again! Another great session I just wanted to say a huge thanks, the energy and focus you bring to all the sessions is just great. Yesterday there was so much energy and passion from our leaders that it was at times hard to bring topics to a conclusion, however you managed it in a thoughtful, productive and professional way. Really look forward to launching the outputs and to our continued partnership! Inspiring, insightful and pragmatic tools to aid wellbeing in the workplace – highly recommend!
Anthony Frankland, Muller
What a great day it was. You helped us to realise that taking time to improve yourself is “selfless” and not “selfish”, in fact it’s critical to self growth. To be the best dad, mum, partner, sales person you have to bring the best version of yourself, anything less is selfish. Brilliant reflection from your session and solid feedback from the SLT 🙂
Bethan Evans, Protein Balls
People have been buzzing about their sessions with Welfy and I’m confident it’s going to have a lasting impact on the team’s engagement and productivity and importantly on their individual wellbeing. It is already worth the investment, I thoroughly recommend it.
Angharad Collins, Head of Places, Welsh Rugby Union
Game changer! Wow, not sure what else to say! I have learnt so much from coping strategies to well-being and everything in between! So professional, empathetic and caring. Would highly recommend and I can’t wait to work with them more in the future.
