MINDFUL LEADERSHIP COACHING
Mind care and self-transformation for leaders and innovators
Proud to be working in collaboration with renowned international coach Kirby James.
As a trained practitioner of mindfulness and meditation (Raj-yoga) for over 23 years, I provide executive coaching to high-performance individuals for self-transformation and transformational leadership, focusing on mind care, including tools ranging from a mindset reset, through mindfulness and meditation exercises, to diet and lifestyle approaches to optimise brain function and performance. I take a holistic, evidence-informed approach, drawing on insights from my own active research in lifestyle management and the prevention of cognitive decline.
Since 2021, I have worked extensively on rolling out the Values in Healthcare training programme, providing resilience training to a wide variety of professionals. In 2025, my work in the field was recognised through an invitation to deliver the prestigious annual lecture of the Janki Foundation (UK) for Spirituality in Healthcare, as well as by appointment as Medical and Scientific Advisor to the Foundation.
I can deliver coaching through individual or group sessions, either online or, where feasible, in person.

I have had mentoring from Shumone for around seven years now, through my medical career and also in the realm of nutrition. In this process, he has helped me to enhance my strengths and gain confidence in a range of skills in which I felt less confident. Shumone is a passionate leader and mentor, helping those right across different career stages and supporting them to find and obtain opportunities to develop themselves. I have seen huge improvements in my career and the opportunities I have achieved in education, leadership, research, and presentation. Importantly, I have seen this replicated in numerous others and can see how Shumone adapted to each person. I would not hesitate to recommend working with Shumone as a mentor, his experience and breadth of skills, knowledge and interests almost certainly mean that he will be able to support you.”
TESTIMONIALS
Sally Ayyad
I have had the pleasure of being mentored by Prof Ray and have learnt a great deal from him personally and professionally. He is always available and ready to listen, support and provide guidance. With his vast experience and knowledge on nutrition science and medical fronts, he has helped me reach my true potential and has been pivotal in my career progression. He has this unique ability to identify individual strengths. His mentorship, insight, and constructive feedback have been a constant motivation and an invaluable inspiration for translating nutrition science into practice and positively impacting the lives of others, especially those in indigenous communities. He has introduced me to a global network of like-minded professionals and constantly identified opportunities for continued learning and professional development. I am grateful for his guidance and will always refer to him as a benchmark and an icon in the field of nutrition science.

I had an honour of working with Prof Ray over the last 15 years. I have received invaluable coaching and mentoring that helped me tremendously in my career journey from an MPhil/PhD student at Cambridge to an NIHR Clinical Lecturer at Oxford and planning beyond. With his vast experience in healthcare and academia Prof Ray is uniquely positioned to coach clinical academics at all stages of their careers. Prof Ray’s advice and support were crucial for my professional development and making the most important career decisions and simultaneously navigating difficult environments in the National Health Service and challenges in various research groups I have worked with. Prof Ray is very caring and supportive and has an excellent ability to recognize one’s unique strengths and come up with an effective plan to use these skills for one’s further development while contributing to the team and working in a collaborative fashion with others to achieve a common goal. I strongly recommend Prof Ray’s coaching and advisory services to all emerging leaders in healthcare, research, and any other related discipline.
