Vix Anderton is a somatic coach, facilitator and mentor. She helps recovering perfectionists, chronic over-doers and stressed-out control freaks rediscover their authenticity, agency and leadership and find powerful and sustainable ways to get on with what they care about without overwhelm and burnout. She is committed to helping people to embody their innate wisdom and power, reconnecting them with their natural flow, intelligence and creativity. She helps people nurture their resilience so they can bravely cultivate more sustainable and authentic ways of being. Vix served in the Royal Air Force for 10 years before entering the international development sector and then training as a coach. With her experience in high-stress environments from war zones to boardrooms and a resulting burnout, she is committed to helping other recovering perfectionists learn how they can manage their energy and emotions and reconnect with their natural flow, intelligence and creativity, thus enabling them to build more sustainable and authentic ways of being. As You Are (Self-Improvement Not Required) is Vix’s second book. It’s a compassionate yet no-nonsense guide for the recovering perfectionists, over-doers, and personal development junkies who really just want to be more of themselves in the world. It's a resource for authentic living in a world obsessed with self-optimisation. Her first book, Enough: An Imperfect Antidote to Perfectionism, took the view that perfectionism isn’t the character flaw we’ve been led to believe, rather it’s a strategy we use to feel safe albeit one that comes at a high cost. It lays out an alternative approach to redesigning our relationship with perfectionism to feel deeply enough as we are. Having lived in as many houses as years she has been alive, Vix is on the move again. She’s currently planning on returning to university as she navigates what it means to be human at the time of the Great Unraveling and Great Turning. Vix offers coaching, mentorship and support for navigating challenging times with grace and resilience. You can find all her current programmes at vixanderton.com.
