About
I’m Lucy Gardner and the founder of
Mustard Seed Personal Transformation.
Our mission is to empower individuals to find wellbeing and balance in their physical, emotional and mental life and to unlock the potential within them to truly flourish.
My Story
I was something of a mustard seed myself as I came into the world at just 3lbs, and ever since, I’ve been defying the odds.
Whether it was racing to the Magnetic North Pole, driving an old car from the UK and across Africa, or walking the Camino de Santiago. I have been willing to take on challenges that, to me and to many seemed impossible and discovered what can happen when you commit to the process of transformation.
It hasn’t always been easy and I had many setbacks; ranging from injury and illness to moments of burnout and doubt. But through it all, I feel I have learned that how we see ourselves is often the biggest obstacle standing in our own way of living to our full potential.
My Experience
With over 14 years in health promotion and counselling, I bring a unique blend of professional training and life experience.
- Qualified Therapeutic Coach
- Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner
- Master Trainer
- Therapeutic Massage Practitioner
It was after many years working in fitness and health, that I began to notice something powerful: how several clients were often held back – not by knowledge or lack of effort—but by deeper emotional blocks, limiting self-beliefs, and unresolved stress. It was this insight that led me to enrol in a therapeutic coaching in 2020. And so began a journey of self-discovery that is still ongoing as I explored why I second-guessed myself, why I thrived in some situations and not others and who is the ‘real me’?
Finding my Voice
The answer unfolding through self-discovery, healing and courage via Therapeutic Coaching. As I learnt what it means to break free from my inner critic, express my needs and let go of negative self-beliefs. Learning to live as my full self. Now, I help others do the same.
My Approach
What do I bring to my approach to clients;
- Compassion and challenge where appropriate
- Knowledge and lived experience
- A sense of adventure, yet well grounded wisdom.
You don’t need fixing! It is about freeing you to be more fully yourself.
