I'm Cordelia, a Medical Doctor Turned High-Performance Coach

You’re probably here because…

You’re ambitious, successful, and the thought you might not be on top right now is keeping you up at night. As perfectionists, we can’t stand the idea of not nailing it.

You’re trying to ignore the signs of burnt out because that doesn’t happen to people like you…does it? I didn’t even know what burnout was – until I went through it.

You’re tired all the time, sleep poorly, and push through fatigue. But lately, you’re struggling to think clearly and make effective decisions. I used to pride myself on functioning on little sleep – until I realised the damage it was doing.

You’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes – or you’ve gained a lot of weight. Now, you can’t ignore the fact that chronic stress is catching up with you. I’ve helped clients successfully reverse these problems.

You’re great at what you do but the pressure is relentless and you can’t help but think “Am I really cut out for this?” That’s not you talking. That’s Imposter Syndrome.

You’re afraid that if you don’t turn this around, you’ll lose everything you’ve worked so hard for. That fear used to keep me up at night too.

But there’s also a voice inside you that knows you can turn this around.

That you’re capable of more.

Dr Cordelia Peel

Welcome, I'm Cordelia

I help high-achieving professionals take back control - so they can perform at their highest level without grinding themselves into the ground.

For over a decade, I worked as a medical doctor in high-pressure environments - emergency medicine, trauma and acute stroke - where split-second decisions, resilience, and high performance were non-negotiable.

I coached medical professionals, built training programmes, and served through COVID. On paper, I've always been thriving, but it's not always been that way.

In 2018 I burnt out.

My ambition got the better of me. I was pushing beyond what was healthy or necessary, far beyond my work as a doctor, juggling too many projects, responsibilities, and expectations.

It was a shock because I really believed there was nothing I couldn't handle.

Then I lost my 47 year old brother to suicide.

This was my wake-up call.

His death, along my own experience, was a stark reminder that high-achievers tend to suffer in silence.

They push through exhaustion and unrelenting levels of stress, hoping things will get better.

But in doing so, put themselves at risk of severe, sometimes irreversible, consequences.

And I realised something else.

The same traits that make us successful - discipline, resilience, and relentless drive - are the same ones that push us over the edge.

But there is a better way.

You can't outwork stress. You have to optimise it.

A Few Things I Believe

Success without good health is a contradiction

Reaching the top in your career means nothing if your health is failing and your relationships are falling apart. Real success is about more than money, status, or power.

It's about:

  • Meaning and purpose.
  • The quality of your relationships.
  • How good you feel in your mind and body.
  • How well you know yourself.
  • The level of fulfillment and satisfaction you experience daily.

Our lifestyle is our medicine

Most chronic diseases - heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, strokes, even some cancers - are lifestyle-driven and preventable.

The way we eat, move, sleep, manage stress, find purpose, and nurture relationships is what determines whether we live a vibrant, fulfilling life - or a miserable, disease-ridden one.

Our lifestyle is our greatest medicine - and the source of our impact in life.

We're supposed to have fun too.

Life is too short to be miserable.

Too many high-achievers stay STUCK in situations that aren't working for them - out of fear.

Yes, purpose-driven work can be hard and stressful.
Yes, relationships take hard work and effort.
Yes, success is never a linear journey.

But if you're constantly drained, unfulfilled and dissatisfied, then something isn't working.

Life is shorter than we think.

And we all have untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.

Whilst we regret more what we didn't do, than the things we did.
