My name is Louisa Downs and I joined the Simpila team as Mental Health Trainer and Business Consultant in October 2022 moving from AXA Health as a Wellbeing Manager and MHFA Instructor. In 2011, Louisa graduated from Leeds University with a BSc (Hons) in Sports and Exercise Science which has led her to a career of over 10 years’ experience in the health and wellbeing world. She is passionate and fascinated about keeping up to date about latest science on how our lifestyle choices and behaviours impact our mindset and body.
Since then she has worked as a Physiologist working with individuals to improve their overall sense of wellbeing through health checks and coaching. And more recently, as a Health and Wellbeing Manager, supporting HR teams to develop their wellbeing strategies; to reduce both absenteeism, presenteeism and increase levels of happiness to all employees. Now she works with Simpila clients to deliver MHFA training, Managing Mental Health for Managers and general awareness sessions including Neurodiversity and Menopause Awareness. We also provide support programmes for MHFAiders in the business so that they can thrive and be supported in the role.
