WELCOME TO
YELLOW RHINO
ABOUT YELLOW RHINO
Are we always the same person? Do we keep hold of one identity throughout our lives? Of course not. We evolve over time and can lose track of WHO we are, WHAT we want and WHERE to go next.
I’m a wellbeing and movement coach, specialising in hip surgery recovery, often working with vanlifers and those navigating identity changes, sprinkled with a little cultural appreciation from my years in global education.
Hi, I'm Selina and have 30 years education experience - from being a classroom teacher (all ages), international education and group facilitator, yoga/meditation teacher, NLP practitioner, personal identity and wellbeing/life coach. I have also relocated, changed career, had a total hip replacement and have had to evolve my own identity at various stages. I have composed music, designed and manufactured my own skincare brand and run yoga programmes for corporate clients. I bring my pool of experience into the narrower focus of holistic wellbeing - mind and movement. I specialise in recovery from surgery/accidents with coaching and (optional) movement.
Drawing on my experiences with cultural exploration, vanlife, international education, teaching and well being services provision, I offer talks, group workshops, online sessions and 1:1 sessions.


As well as face to face work, I offer follow up digital resources to mentor you through recovery and to work through life's big questions - whether it's redefining yourself during times of transition, regaining health and confidence following life changing events, developing curiosities, embracing a nomadic lifestyle and managing loneliness, or connecting with the global community.


I also run a Facebook Group for ladies only with discounted and free coaching for members (see 'Coaching' page)


Some people just like to book in the odd accountability or loneliness check-in.
That's me - but this is about YOU.
Together, we will turn uncertainty into clarity, recovery into strength and help YOU live authentically.
After all - if you don't know who you really are or what you're capable of, how will you function at full capacity?
Wellbeing and movement recovery sessions, specialising in hip replacement recovery. Speaker and small group facilitator working on our changing identities within a global context.
Live in a van? You're my perfect client. Vanlife is seen as a great solution to rising rental costs and the treadmill of the 9-5. However, it can also set us a difficult challenge - keeping on top of bills and health, finding communities that understand, having someone to help drive forward with our ambitions, even knowing how to handle the stress of living transiently. 
As many vanlifers are ageing, looking after mobility can also be an issue.


At a festival? No problem.
Join me for a CABIN CHAT. Coaching can even be carried out on the move - if you're at a campsite or festival. I may not live in my van, but I understand the transient nature of having connections all over and sometimes being far away from those that matter.
I understand the struggles of coping with a lifestyle dependent on good physical and mental health.
VISION
Developing curious, resilient mindsets and strong bodies in an evolving world
CORE VALUES
​
Gratitude: Such an important element to our work, gratitude helps us appreciate the here and now, to celebrate the small achievements. By pausing to know we are part of an organic process that everyone globally is also part of, we can bring awareness to our own achievements.
Innovation: At YELLOW RHINO things happen a little differently. By utilising all your senses to tackle the smaller problems little by little in a constant circle of check, refine, improve, celebrate. At the heart is exploring what we enjoy, what we want to learn and what we already know, before putting it into practise.
​
​Energy: You will feed off the energy shared; the interactive sessions will keep you fuelled up!
​
​Impact: As with any forward-thinking system, the whole purpose is to create an impact. The aim is for a measurable impact on your well being so we know what we’re doing is needed, and works.
​
​Growth: YELLOWRHINO will grow with you and share your growth as you 'discover and recover.' Individual and group sessions create a positive and safe space where you can share your story, whilst beginning to write the next chapter. You won't be judged on setbacks or pitfalls as you continue to grow as a whole human being.
MISSION STATEMENT
An inclusive wellbeing and rehabilitation platform to support people to reach their limitless potential through physical and mental stability.
WHERE DID THE NAME COME FROM?
The inspiration behind the name comes from a local statue to my home for some years in Plymouth. The Plymstock Rhino is found near a roundabout in Plymstock and represents some fossilised remains of animals found nearby.
As an animal itself the rhino is named after its famous horn. It’s a real life unicorn! Or as we like to think of it - a UNIQUE HORN. Think of using this own to charge at life - to tackle a difficult situation head on and not hide away from it. Like some of us, rhinos may look tough, but their skin is actually quite sensitive. You can find them in various places around the world and they vary in type and personality.
Yellow. A bright, happy, primary colour, yellow can signify different emotions and meanings, but the ones we love to associate with are freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honour, loyalty, and joy.
