Gina Dallison Coaching Helping people navigate their Healing Journey, turning it into an Adventure of a Life Time!

I help people who are living with a life-altering diagnosis develop and maintain a positive mindset and healthy habits to enable them to live their best life, irrespective of any diagnosis. I use powerful coaching processes to give my clients a safe, non-judgmental space to dig deep to discover what really lights their fire. I work one-to-one with people and in groups to help people make sustainab

le changes to enable them to take full responsibility for their health. A little about me ...
I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in 2009 and started taking a weekly injection of Drug Modifying Therapy in 2010. When my symptoms worsened in 2016, I started looking outside of the western medical model for answers. I am now managing my condition without any medication which has been a very spiritual journey, which I am still on. It has been a very introspective journey which has led me to change all aspects of my life, including my career. I now am a Life Coach, supporting others with a frightening diagnosis, look inside themselves for their own answers. I now see my diagnosis as a beautiful gift and guide others to a similar shift in perspective which is literally life-changing.

Our annual family pilgrimage to St Catherine’s ❤️

This place holds so many childhood memories for me - walking here from my Nan’s house through Unstead Woods, scrambling up the orange sandy hill and adventuring along the River Wey with my cousins.

Years later, we began bringing our own children. Seventeen years on, it has become a family tradition - come rain or shine, with partners and new additions joining us along the way.

Of course, no visit is complete without the annual photograph of the youngsters on the bridge. They require slightly more enthusiastic encouragement these days - otherwise known as nagging - but we always get the photograph! 😂

As my walking has become more challenging, the way I reach St Catherine’s has changed. This was Bumblebee’s second visit, and it turns out the riverside path is surprisingly accessible.

The way I take part may have changed, but I am still part of the adventure - surrounded by people who simply help me find another way. 💚

How to enjoy now!

💦 Sometimes you just have to throw yourself into life… quite literally! 😂

Our annual family pilgrimage to St Catherine’s usually includes a wild swim in the River Wey 🏊‍♀️🌳 — but as my mobility has become more challenging, getting IN and OUT of the water requires a little more creativity. 💡

This year's solution?

Fall backwards off the ledge. 😂💦

You can probably see from my face that there was a moment of “Gina, is this actually a good idea?” 😬🤣

But I did it.

And once I was in that water, it was exhilarating. 🏊‍♀️✨💛

Getting back out was another matter entirely! 😂 Richard and Rositsa helped with stage one, followed by a full family extraction operation to get me back up onto the towpath. 💪🤣❤️

Living with MS means I can't always do things in the conventional way.

So I've learned to stop asking:

“Can I still do this?”

And start asking:

✨ “HOW can I do this?” ✨

Sometimes the answer involves Bumblebee 🐝🛵, sometimes it takes a few helping hands 🤝❤️…

…and apparently sometimes it involves falling backwards into a river. 🤣💦

However I get there, I still get to be in the river. ❤️🏊‍♀️

And that's what matters.

🏆 I won Best Speaker this week at Godiva Speakers Toastmasters Club!

But actually, the thing I’m most excited about is what I was speaking about.

I’ve decided to use the launch of my new podcast, Diagnosis Rewritten, as my DTM project!
DTM stands for Distinguished Toastmaster - the highest educational award in Toastmasters.

And this was the first time I properly stood up and shared the vision behind it.

In 2009, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

And although nobody actually sat me down and dramatically announced…

“It’s incurable.”
“It’s degenerative.”
“There’s nothing you can do.”

…that was pretty much the message I received.

And that was scary 😵‍💫

My boys were just 2 and 4 at the time. 😕

What would my future look like? What sort of mum would I be?

Spoiler alert: 😊 they’re now 19 and 21, and I reckon I’ve done a pretty bloody good job. ❤️

My body has certainly changed over those 17 years. But so have I.

And one of the biggest things I’ve learned is this:

Your circumstances do not get to write your future.

That is the heart of Diagnosis Rewritten.

I’ll be talking to people about what happens after the diagnosis - the unexpected lessons, different perspectives, practical tools, resilience, humour, hope and sometimes even the gifts that can emerge from something we would never have chosen.

And it all begins here in Rugby.

📅 11 November 2026

I’m planning a live event called:

✨ How to Feel Better with a Chronic Illness ✨

which will also officially launch the podcast.

So this little Best Speaker award feels like a rather lovely way to start putting this mission out into the world.

My vision is a big one:

To change the global conversation around illness from fear to possibility. 🙏

And yes, I’m starting in Rugby. 😁

There will be lots more coming over the next few months - the event, the podcast, guests, stories and plenty of opportunities to get involved.

For now, if you know somebody living with a chronic illness who needs to hear that their diagnosis does NOT have to be the end of their story…

Stick around.

We’re about to rewrite a few. 🦋

🎙️✨ What a lovely evening!

A huge thank you to Simon Cox and NLive Radio for such a warm welcome. 😊 Simon made the interview feel so relaxed, and I thoroughly enjoyed our chat.

We talked about my coaching, my own journey with MS, and I even got to share a sneak peek of my new podcast, Diagnosis Rewritten, launching before the end of November. 🦋🎧

Of course, we also chatted about Toastmasters - where Simon and I first met at NN Clear Speakers in Kettering. 💙

It's been such a huge part of my journey, giving me confidence, friendships and opportunities I never imagined.

I'm feeling very grateful... and even more excited about what's to come! 🚀💫

🌦️ Rain or shine, the Yorkshire Dales were simply breathtaking. 💚

I've just come back from two wonderful days exploring Malham Cove ⛰️, Janet's Foss 💦 and Gordale Scar 🏞️.

The best part?

Discovering just how much is still possible.

I explored it all on a Tramper - an all-terrain mobility scooter designed for hills, gravel tracks and uneven paths. It's opened up places I'd honestly thought I'd never experience again.

Living with a debilitating chronic illness could easily lead me to focus on what I can't do.

Instead, I've learned to ask...

✨ "What's still possible?"

This trip reminded me that adventure doesn't have to end because your body changes.

Sometimes it simply looks a little different.

And that's okay. 💚

Have you ever found something that gave you back a freedom you'd thought you'd lost?

Today I celebrate my playful spirit.

I celebrate the adventurer in me, the joy finder, the pleasure seeker, and the childlike wonder that trusts, allows and embraces life's experiences.

I celebrate saying yes to beautiful summer days, meaningful connections, unexpected adventures and simple moments of delight.

Most of all, I celebrate that I no longer need to wait until I'm "better" before fully living.

Life is here now, and so am I.

💙 A year of showing up...

A year ago, I said yes to becoming an Area Director... even though I wasn't really looking for the role.
If I say yes to something, I know one thing about myself...

✨ I give it my all.

Am I super organised? 😂 Nope.

Always prepared? 😅 Also no.

But I care deeply about people, and I always do my very best.

Living with MS means showing up isn't always easy. Every meeting, every contest and every mile travelled takes energy (and usually Bumblebee 🛵 too!).

This year stretched me in so many ways:
🇮🇪 Solo trip to Ireland.
🎤 Delivering my Presence Over Performance workshop.
🏆 Organising the Area Contest.
🤝 Supporting clubs, members and new leaders.

The biggest lesson?

💙 Showing up matters.

This week, our Division Director described me as someone who teaches simply through my presence.

That meant more than he probably realised because it's exactly what this year has taught me.

And although leadership isn't about collecting titles, I'm incredibly proud that Area 44 became the only President's Distinguished Area in District 71! 🎉

Now it's time to hand the baton to Julio, who I know will do a fantastic job leading Area 44 into its next chapter. 🙌

As for me, I'm excited to focus on being the best Vice President of Education I can be at my wonderful home club, Godiva Speakers.

💙 Sometimes growth isn't about climbing higher.
It's about growing deeper.

⛵️ Getting onto the boat is definitely a team job... and I'm so grateful for mine. 💙

After a little change of plans earlier in the day, I made it back to Sailability and this time everything came together.

Today I sailed in the long boat for the very first time, and what a sail it was! 🌊☀️ The wind was just right, the smiles were plentiful, and it reminded me why I love coming here.

This reel shows me being lifted into the boat with a hoist. It's not the most glamorous way to board a boat... but it is a wonderful reminder that independence doesn't always mean doing everything on your own.

Sometimes independence is having the confidence to accept support so you can still do the things you love.

A huge thank you to all the incredible volunteers who make days like this possible. ❤️

Here's to more wind, more water, more adventures... and saying "yes" to life, whatever it takes. ⛵️✨
