Meet Life Coach Giacomo Sandri:
Name: Giacomo Sandri
Pillar: The Mind, The Body
Who is this coach for: Health conscious people with a desire to self improve to build a lifestyle of endless vitality, mental clarity, and emotional resilience using a natural approach combining herbal medicine, nutrition, and self care practices.
How they can help: By using the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, various tools and techniques as well as Medicinal Herbs.
First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?
Thank you for asking.
My family and I are well.
The pandemic was challenging, but it offered me the opportunity to delve deep into my core needs and allowed me to build a solid foundation for new relationships and business ideas.
How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?
Many clients came to me during and after the pandemic struggling with long effects of the virus, chronic fatigue, and burnout.
I saw firsthand how the pressures of that time intensified people’s exhaustion.
This exhaustion was not only physical but also mental and emotional.
The need for flexible and accessible support became absolutely clear.
I realised I had to adapt my approach to meet people where they were.
Many were isolated, overwhelmed, and searching for answers online.
This inspired me to design the Burnout and Burnout Recovery Guide.
It is a comprehensive and free resource that anyone can access regardless of circumstances.
In the guide, I share foundational herbal protocols, nutritional strategies, and practical self care rituals.
These are tools that I have seen make a real difference in recovery.
By offering this guide, I wanted to give people a sense of hope and agency.
I wanted to show them how medicinal herbs, lifestyle changes, and nutrition can have a tremendous impact on health.
The guide has become a cornerstone of my remote support.
I am grateful to see how it has helped so many individuals regain their energy and begin rebuilding their lives from the inside out.
What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?
I learned that resilience truly depends on adaptability and self care.
The pandemic also revealed deeper truths…
Community is absolutely essential.
Having a support network, sharing experiences, and even physical contact are fundamental to wellbeing.
I realised how much we need one another emotionally and physically.
Another key lesson was the importance of cultivating the inner garden of the mind.
In times of isolation and uncertainty, tending to thoughts and beliefs becomes vital.
This practice helps nurture hope, clarity, and perspective.
It prevents fear and negativity from taking over when the world feels unstable.
Finally, the value of a strong immune system became undeniably clear.
The pandemic highlighted the importance of long term immune support.
Herbs, nutrition, movement, and stress reduction all play a crucial role.
These practices help ensure resilience even in extreme circumstances.
The Origin:
Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?
I am a qualified medical herbalist with a Bachelor of Science degree in Herbal Medicine, attained at Lincoln University in 2017.
Straight after qualifying, I moved to Bristol and opened a practice while studying for a Level 5 sports massage diploma at the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork.
After eight years of clinical practice using medicinal herbs, nutrition, and therapeutic touch, I realised that many clients were primarily struggling with fatigue.
This fatigue was exacerbated by the challenging times of the 2020 pandemic.
They needed step by step support to make meaningful changes in their lives.
This led me to specialise in using my therapeutic tools to support entrepreneurs, parents, and carers in regaining their energy, vitality, and resilience.
That insight led me to enrol in a Life Coaching diploma course.
I also created the Holistic Vitality Programme, blending herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset coaching.
What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?
It was a perfect storm that impacted my mind, body, and spirit all at once.
I eventually hit a wall.
I realised I could not simply power through anymore.
My old coping mechanisms were no longer serving me.
I had to completely rethink my approach to health and mindset.
That was when I committed to the holistic methods I now share with my clients.
I started using herbs regularly to calm my nervous system.
As my inflammation levels dropped, I noticed a real surge in energy.
I also experienced a dramatic reduction in physical pain.
The herbal protocols allowed me to step away from relying on coffee for energy.
They also helped me move away from alcohol or cannabis to relax or fall asleep.
Instead, my body began to find its own natural rhythm and resilience.
Nutritional strategies helped me stabilise my blood sugar.
This was a major turning point for my mood and mental clarity.
The daily self care practices I adopted were essential.
They helped me break addictive cycles and rewire my thinking patterns.
Perhaps the most transformative element was learning how to consciously modulate the activation of my autonomic nervous system.
This gave me a tremendous sense of empowerment.
I realised that no matter what was happening externally, I could choose how to respond.
I no longer needed to react automatically.
I could pause, evaluate my options calmly, and act with intention.
This shift from reactivity to conscious action was life changing.
It is at the heart of what I aim to teach others on their healing journeys.
The Coaching Style:
How do you innovate with coaching your clients?
My coaching is a dynamic fusion of science, tradition, and deep personal transformation.
Every client receives a highly individualised and evidence based experience.
No two journeys are ever the same.
I combine advanced diagnostic tools such as functional blood tests and Traditional Chinese Medicine analysis to understand the root causes behind each person’s challenges.
The transformation does not stop at the physical level.
What makes my approach unique is how I blend holistic coaching techniques that honour the whole person, including body, mind, and spirit.
I support clients in aligning with their psycho spiritual purpose.
I help them uncover beliefs and patterns that may be holding them back.
I guide them toward greater self awareness and inner resilience.
Alongside this deep inner work, I strengthen and nourish the body using carefully selected herbal remedies.
I also provide targeted nutritional guidance and self care rituals that restore balance and vitality.
Progress is measured through objective markers such as improved lab results and physical health.
It is also measured through subjective experiences such as increased clarity, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
The result is a truly tailored and results driven journey.
Clients not only regain their energy but also reconnect with their authentic selves and step into a new level of wellbeing.
What’s unique about your coaching approach?
What sets my coaching apart is the way I integrate science, tradition, and deep personal transformation.
I begin with advanced diagnostics such as functional blood tests and Traditional Chinese Medicine analysis.
This allows me to identify the root causes of health challenges.
My work extends far beyond the physical body.
I incorporate holistic coaching techniques that honour body, mind, and spirit.
I help clients align with their psycho spiritual purpose.
I support them in uncovering limiting beliefs.
I guide them toward genuine self awareness and resilience.
At the same time, I focus on nourishing the body.
This includes personalised nutrition, carefully chosen herbs, and practical self care rituals.
Each journey is unique.
Progress is measured through objective health markers.
It is also measured through improvements in clarity, emotional strength, and purpose.
Clients do not simply recover energy.
They reconnect with their authentic selves.
They experience profound transformation in overall wellbeing.
What benefits do your clients get after working with you?
Clients experience a wide range of results…
- Most report increased energy.
- Better sleep is very common.
- Many experience improved digestion.
- Emotional resilience also increases significantly.
- Clients often make clearer decisions.
- They gain deeper self knowledge.
Beyond immediate relief, they leave with practical tools.
These tools support long term health and high performance in all areas of life.
Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?
Yes, I use a variety of tools to enhance effectiveness.
Functional blood tests and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics provide clear insights.
All consultations are delivered online for maximum flexibility.
Clients are encouraged to keep a shared progress journal.
This allows us to track changes and celebrate wins together.
I also recommend a transformation journal.
This serves as a space for mindset exercises and mental restructuring.
For those interested, I sometimes suggest health trackers such as WHOOP.
These help monitor sleep, recovery, and daily activity.
These tools keep clients engaged and reflective.
They also allow clients to witness their transformation in real time.
The Impact:
If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?
You have the power to create the health you truly desire.
Any voice that says otherwise can be tuned out.
This can be achieved by embracing medicinal herbs.
It also comes from nourishing the body with appropriate nutrition.
Consciously reshaping subconscious patterns and daily routines is essential.
Transformation is not a distant dream… It is a reality you can build one conscious choice at a time!
What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?
The greatest lesson I have learned is that you either win or you learn.
There is no true defeat.
Every setback is an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser.
Every victory is a moment to celebrate.
Shifting your perspective on failure shapes resilience and personal power.
Your final thoughts?
Holistic health is an ongoing journey of self discovery.
It is not a fixed destination.
True transformation happens when challenges are faced courageously.
Blending science and tradition is essential in healing.
Medicinal herbs are more relevant now than ever.
They offer powerful support for both body and mind.
By removing limiting beliefs from the subconscious, transformation unfolds.
By installing life affirming beliefs, real change occurs.
Every conscious choice plants a seed for lasting growth.
The most profound shift always begins within.
