Imagine a world where health is not only the absence of disease, but the presence of meaning, vitality, and joy. Where caregivers, and leaders in positions of responsibility are not asked to abandon themselves or their health in order to serve others. Imagine wellbeing strategies are embedded into how we lead, train, work, parent and care. People are making hundreds of small, courageous decisions to live in alignment with who they truly are, and medicine means treating the whole human — body, mind, meaning, and context. Where individual wellbeing has a ripple effect outward — into families, communities, and systems — and living well is the norm, not the exception. And where people no longer reach the end of their lives questioning if they have truly lived. What if happiness were not a destination, but a skill. A practice, not an end point. I'm Dr Popat and this is my vision. It's the thread that guides my life and my personal mission, whether it be through my work as a GP, my role as coach, my responsibility as a mother and my contributions as a poet and writer. I'm up for exploring how we heal as individuals, teams, communities and societies. Many self-help strategies rarely fit the realities of on-call schedules, family life, or side hustles. Knowledge and advice is everywhere but moving from thought to action, implementing and embodying it in messy real life is another thing entirely. 1:1 highly personal and bespoke coaching programmes for busy, juggling professional with big dreams and big hearts. The sessions, and immersive exercises between sessions are chosen from a comprehensive bank, designed to fit the 'messy, busier-than-most-people' lives of professionals in medicine and across industries. Let's discuss what you need...you drive and I partner! I'll introduce tailored concepts that provide soul food, strategy and systems to address your to facilitate deep personal transformation and growth. Together, we reconnect with your strengths, purpose and YOUR vision for life, integrate wellbeing into your daily life, and create space for happiness NOW and along the way — not just at some future milestone.

FirstYou was an organisation developed by 8 women founders, ranging from a diverse range of backgrounds, including medicine, physiotherapy, coaching and also included members with lived experience of long term health conditions. Borne from the distress of healthcare professionals during the pandemic, it signposted professionals to a range of offers to support their wellbeing during a time of trauma and stress. With care packages developed and delivered to hospitals, a directory of services throughout the UK and a small library of resources including meditation, mindfulness and articles, as well as crisis support numbers, FirstYou was a movement to remind those in healthcare that caring for those who care for us should be a necessity, not an optional add-on.
