Meet the team
Claire Beck, Lead Consultant
Claire transitioned from the Financial Services industry to Wellbeing during lockdowns when her work-life balance became more of a priority. Initially working for Shine as a Parenting Wellbeing consultant, she joined the team full time in 2024.
Drawing upon her past experiences of corporate and office life, Claire understands the struggles and challenges employees face, and offers insights and advice on how to turn these situations around and thrive. Clients have appreciated her kind, caring nature and the solutions she provides to organisations of all sizes.
Claire’s wellbeing non-negotiables are the gym, walking the dog, and running; and in 2021 she completed her first marathon!
Rebecca Oldham, Fitness and Nutrition Consultant
|
Sport has always been a massive part of Rebecca’s life; as a teenager she was a county athlete, playing netball since she was nine and in more recent years, running the London Marathon. Until her late 30s sport and fitness were just hobbies she enjoyed outside of her public sector, office-based job. However after the birth of her first son in 2015, she embarked on a change of career change. |

In 2017, she qualified as a Level 3 personal trainer and this enabled her to leave her desk job and follow her passion for health and fitness. In addition to working with Shine, Rebecca is currently a PT at a boutique transformation gym, as well as running online classes to help people stay fit and healthy during lockdown. |

She channelled this interest into the workplace by successfully implementing an employee wellbeing programme in her role as a Deputy Principal at a nursery business, helping the company achieve a London Healthy Workplace Award.
Since being part of the team at Shine, Emer’s passion for wellbeing can be seen in her wide-ranging, topical and insightful blog pieces, her work on client projects, and her presentations on confidence and imposter syndrome.
Vikki Little, Mindfulness
After 20 years in the fast-paced and competitive automotive industry, and 10 years into running her own business, Vikki discovered Mindfulness. According to her “it has been one of the most positive changes I have made to my life; a change that has benefited me in so many different ways; my wellbeing, my relationships, my businesses and in my overall enjoyment of life and all that it has to offer.”
Vikki’s unique approach combines her experience working as a business owner operating in a tough industry, with mindfulness techniques and transformational coaching. This helps individuals and organisations improve wellbeing, achieve balance in all areas of life, reduce anxiety (particularly in the workplace), realise potential and achieve personal and professional growth.
