We’re Cilla & Steve
Two People Who Have Done The Work
We have walked this path ourselves. And now we help others do the same.
Our Story
Why It Took Us 12 Years
The original idea for Head, Heart & Soul was born in 2014, after we co-founded a school that built emotional intelligence into the curriculum. We thought we were ready to start this business back then. We weren’t.
By that point, we already knew a great deal about emotions. We understood the theory inside out. How the brain works, why we bury the things that hurt, the difference between pushing a feeling down for now and burying it for years, and why going over something in your head never quite shifts it. We’d even written it all down in a draft for a book called Feel Better. We could explain every part of it.
But knowing about this work and living it are two very different things. We knew it as tourists, not as natives. We had the map, but we hadn’t actually walked the ground.
So life sorted that out for us. Over the next few years, it handed us exactly what we needed, though it didn’t feel like a gift at the time. Mess, loss, and the kind of confusion that won’t let you look away. The very emotions we’d written about so neatly turned up in our own lives and refused to be understood from a safe distance. We had to stop explaining them and start feeling them. We had to do the release work ourselves, properly, the slow and uncomfortable way.
That’s when everything changed. We discovered what we now know to be true for almost everyone. Most of us lose touch with who we really are. Life knocks us around, we build ways to cope, and bit by bit we become the person we think we need to be rather than who we actually are.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. What we learned through those years of mess and letting go became the foundation of everything we now offer. We’ve walked this path ourselves, and we know the person you’re looking for has been there all along.
Our Vision
We envision a world where people no longer live from fear, scarcity, or others’ expectations but from wholeness. Where millions have released their emotional baggage, reconnected with their authentic self, and created lives aligned with their deepest purpose. Where transformation ripples through families, communities, and generations.
Our Mission
To guide people through the Rebecoming journey. The transformational workshops, retreats, and personal guidance grounded in ancient wisdom for modern lives.
Our Values
- Depth Over Quick Fixes: We address root causes, not symptoms. We create lasting transformation, not temporary relief.
- Service Before Success: We approach this work as a calling, not just a business. We over-deliver value.
- Wisdom in Action: We walk our talk. We teach from experience, not just theory. We integrate ancient wisdom with practical application for modern lives.
- Courage and Vulnerability: We create spaces safe enough for people to be real. We respect the courage it takes to face what’s been buried.
- Transformation in Community: We are working to build lasting support networks beyond our programmes.
- Accessible to All: We believe transformation shouldn’t be a luxury. We offer multiple entry points and price levels. We create safe spaces for diverse backgrounds and beliefs.
The Founders
Behind Head, Heart & Soul are two people who know what it’s like to feel lost, and who found their way back. Cilla and Steve don’t just guide this work. They have lived it.

Steve Roche – Founder & Director
Steve’s first entry into the field of emotional well-being was as one of the original directors of Kooth, the UK’s leading digital mental health services provider. The multiple-award company pioneered online counselling back in 2004 and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2020. Steve is also one of the country’s most experienced business plan writers and startup consultants.
Beyond business, he co-founded a pioneering school-within-a-school in 2013. As a volunteer, Steve led one of the UK’s largest grassroots football clubs, served as a two-time President of West London Speakers, and is a former Area Director of Toastmasters International. He has written several books, including The MultipleMind Method and The Power of Masterminding, alongside co-authoring Rebecoming.
Steve was a quiet, sensitive child who felt he didn’t belong. Too shy to join in, convinced he wasn’t good enough.
As an adult, he reached a point where something finally shifted. Years of buried emotions surfaced, demanding to be felt. Through ancient practices and deep inner work, he transformed his overwhelming sensitivity from a curse into a gift. He discovered the real self waiting patiently underneath all the pain, protection, and masks.

Cilla Hall – founder and director
Cilla’s career spans property management, recruitment, HR, administration, and interior design. As a qualified life coach, she combines business skills with a deep understanding of human potential. Her creative talents led her to run a personalised gifts and greeting cards business. In 2013, Cilla co-founded Wellspring Academy, an innovative school programme giving struggling students a fresh start. She’s the author of the Little Book of Choices.
Cilla grew up as the strong one, always caring for others while neglecting herself. Bullied at school with no emotional support at home, she became an expert people-pleaser by being helpful and always putting herself last. She thought being needed meant being loved.
Her transformation began in 2012, but fear kept her running. One step forward, two back. Every excuse to avoid the deep work. Yet each small step revealed another way of being. Eventually, she crossed an invisible line. She didn’t want to be her old self anymore. The journey was long, exhausting, and messy. But Cilla discovered that growth happens in the challenges, not the comfortable moments. Most importantly, she learned that putting yourself first is not selfish. When you heal yourself, it ripples out to everyone around you.
