Maika Prevosti

Integrated Health & Wellbeing Coach

Supporting Focus, Emotional Regulation and Sustainable Performance

Academic pressure, performance expectations and modern life demands can overwhelm even the most capable individuals. Often, the issue is not lack of ability — but nervous system overload.

I am an NHS-trained Health and Wellbeing Coach with over 16 years of experience in education and behavioural change. I support students, young adults and professionals in developing practical tools to regulate stress, improve concentration and build long-term resilience.

My approach integrates modern scientific understanding of the nervous system with structured breathing methodologies (including Buteyko and Oxygen Advantage), alongside traditional pranayama practices, nutritional guidance, sleep hygiene strategies and sustainable lifestyle management.

This work is not about relaxation alone. It is about learning how to respond effectively under pressure — physically and mentally.

Areas I Support

- Exam or performance anxiety
• Difficulty sustaining focus
• Overwhelm during revision or deadlines

Nutrition*

• Sleep disruption linked to stress
• Mental fatigue
• Emotional reactivity under pressure
• Low energy and inconsistent routines

What to Expect in a Session

Each session is structured, practical and tailored to individual needs.

1. Assessment & Clarity

We identify stress triggers, behavioural patterns, sleep quality, energy rhythms and lifestyle factors that may be influencing performance.

2. Regulation & Skill-Building

Clients learn functional breathing techniques that directly influence stress physiology, alongside practical strategies for improving sleep, nutrition and daily energy regulation.

3. Sustainable Behaviour Change

Drawing on formal Behaviour Change training, we implement realistic strategies that support motivation, organisation and consistency over time. No prior experience is required. Sessions are accessible and adapted to different ages and stages.
