My Work
Whether I’m speaking, writing, training or creating menus, my consultancy work is guided by the same intention - to support individuals and organisations to create healthier, more sustainable ways of living and working.
How I Got Here
In 2020 I left a 25 year career in education following ‘the mother of all burnouts.’ It sparked a creative sabbatical - one that saw me open an award winning plant-based bakery and coffee house that promoted health and wellbeing through food and nutrition. It was the start of a journey that reshaped my purpose and launched me firmly into a wellbeing focused future.
Championing individual and collective wellbeing, based on insight-driven conversations, is now the foundation of my consultancy work. By sharing lived experience, lessons learned, and recent research, I work with organisations to nurture cultures which put wellbeing first, enabling people and businesses to thrive.
How We Can Work Together
Corporate Wellbeing Sessions
Through tailored professional learning inputs, I deliver practical, insight-led sessions that support organisations to put wellbeing first for people and performance. All sessions are shaped through an initial consultation process, ensuring content is relevant, realistic and aligned with organisational goals. Focus areas include:
Burnout prevention & stress management
Nutrition for energy, focus and cognitive performance
Nervous system regulation & sustainable work habits
The five pillars of workplace wellbeing
Freelance Writing
I partner with businesses to articulate organisational wellbeing priorities through clear, insight-led writing. From articles and thought leadership to internal and client-facing resources, I help create meaningful reading materials that support culture, engagement and trust. Projects include:
Guest articles
Thought leadership
Website content
Educational wellbeing resources
Campaign copy
Plant-based Menu Consultancy
I help food businesses develop vibrant, inspired menus that champion the power of plants. Through initial consultation and thoughtful design, I support food businesses and retreat spaces to create plant-based food that feels exciting, generous and satisfying. The result is food that aligns with modern wellbeing values while remaining commercially and creatively strong. Projects include:
Menu development & optimisation
Nutritional balance & performance-supportive food
Bringing colour, flavour, texture and fragrance to each plate
Food concepts rooted in wellbeing
Client Reviews
“Catherine recently delivered a lunchtime wellbeing talk for our colleagues and students (Fraunhofer UK). Catherine listened carefully during our initial meetings making sure to deliver an engaging and relevant talk. Catherine tailored her content to compliment learnings that we had delivered, building on previous messages and setting the scene for future communications. Delivery of the wellbeing webinar was superb. Catherine is an authentic speaker, speaking from personal experience which has much greater impact than other training in this area. Catherine is articulate and natural in style, providing relevant information combined with personal insights. Feedback from the team has been positive and I would not hesitate to recommend."
— Kelly Niven, HR Manager, Fraunhofer UK Research Ltd.“I had the pleasure of hosting Catherine Lawson on my podcast Skin and Within, and her depth of knowledge truly sets her apart. Catherine speaks about burnout not from theory but from lived experience, having navigated it herself and come through with a grounded, practical understanding of what real balance looks like in modern life. Her extensive knowledge of food and wellbeing (particularly plant-based nutrition), is translated into clear, accessible insights that resonate immediately, whether discussing small dietary shifts, the importance of boundaries, digital detox or the critical role of sleep and connection. Catherine’s ability to combine personal insight with evidence-based guidance makes her an engaging, credible and highly effective speaker, and she is exceptionally well suited to facilitating corporate workshops that genuinely support wellbeing, resilience, and sustainable change.”
— Claire Gray, Founder and Host of Skin and Within Podcast, and Founder of Ermana Skin Care.“Working with Catherine was an absolute pleasure. From our very first consultation, she made the entire process feel like a genuine partnership. She listened carefully to our vision for the cafe and blended her knowledge and creative approaches to food with our existing offering to create a beautiful boutique plant-based menu that was completely on-brand for us.
The response from our customers was excellent. Her dishes have been embraced by both vegans and non-vegans alike, with several quickly becoming customer favourites.
We were so pleased with the results that we invited her back a second time to refresh the menu with seasonal twists, and once again she delivered fresh, thoughtful updates that kept our plant-based offering exciting and aligned to our wider menu. If you’re looking for a food consultant who combines creativity, professionalism, and a flair for plant-based food, we’d highly recommend Catherine.”
— Scott McFarlane, Owner / Director, Cafe 77
