Gina Dallison is an accredited transformational life coach who lives with Multiple Sclerosis. She coaches people with MS, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, long Covid and other long-term conditions to move from fear and feeling stuck to a life that feels possible again — from Rugby, Warwickshire and online across the UK and worldwide.


You don’t need a particular diagnosis — or any diagnosis — to work with me. These are the conditions I most often coach people through.
Newly diagnosed or years in — from someone who has lived with MS for over nine years.
Steady, hopeful support through the first months and the identity shifts that follow.
Changing your relationship with pain, guilt and an invisible illness.
The mindset side of pacing and energy — without giving up on your life.
Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s, FND, epilepsy and more.
No diagnosis needed. For anyone whose life has stopped feeling like their own.

I was diagnosed with MS and told there was nothing I could do. I didn’t accept that. Over nine years I changed my mindset, my relationship with my body and my life — and I trained as a transformational coach so I could help others do the same.
That means I understand fatigue, brain fog, the fear of the future and the grief for the life you expected — not from a textbook, but from the inside. Sessions are shaped around your energy, never the other way round.
A relaxed 30-minute conversation to see whether coaching is the right fit. No obligation.
From your sofa on a low-energy day if you need to. Every session comes with a recording and written notes.
Practical tools, gentle accountability and momentum that meets your energy — never adds pressure.

From “my life is over” to “what’s possible now?”. Less fear about the future, more control over today, and a kinder inner voice.
A clearer sense of what drains and restores you, rest planned before it’s needed, and precious energy spent on what matters.
A sense of who you are now, a purpose that fits this chapter, and small steps that add up to real momentum.
They overlap, but they do different jobs — and a responsible coach will always signpost you to the right one. Many people use more than one at different times.

No pressure and no obligation. Start with a free conversation and we’ll find the right pace for you.
A relaxed, no-pressure chat to see if we’re a good fit and how I can help you move forward.
Bespoke transformational coaching shaped entirely around you — for chronic illness or feeling stuck at a crossroads.
Deeper, sustained support to create real momentum — and save £100 versus single sessions.
The questions people ask most before their first call.
Ask something elseNo. MS is my lived experience, but I coach people with Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, long Covid, autoimmune and neurological conditions, chronic pain — and people with no diagnosis at all who simply feel stuck.

I’m based in Rugby and coach people across Warwickshire and the Midlands — Coventry, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Northampton, Birmingham — as well as London, the rest of the UK and worldwide online. Local conversations in Rugby are also available.
