Let’s Create Something Meaningful Together
Welcome! I’m Debs Thorpe, founder of the WholeHearted Living Institute, and I’m passionate about sharing conversations that matter, the kind that invite people to remember their wholeness, reclaim their authenticity, and step into the fullness of who they truly are.
If you’re a podcaster, journalist, event organiser, or content creator looking for a guest who brings depth, vulnerability, and two decades of transformation expertise, I’d love to connect.

The Vision: A World Living Wholeheartedly
Here’s what I’m building, and I’d love your help sharing it with the world.
I envision a movement of people who’ve stopped performing, stopped proving, stopped earning their worth, and started living from the truth that they’ve always been enough. A community of high-achievers who’ve broken free from survival mode and are creating lives, businesses, and legacies from wholeness, not worthiness-chasing.
The WholeHearted Living Institute exists to be the bridge between burnout and aliveness, between doing and being, between who you’ve had to become and who you’ve always been.
The WholeHearted Living Institute is:
A global community of visionaries, healers, creatives, and changemakers who are choosing themselves without apology, and supporting others to do the same.
A new paradigm for transformation work that’s trauma-sensitive (not just trauma-informed), bespoke (not one-size-fits-all), and rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science.
Sacred spaces, online and in-person, where people can remember their wholeness, reclaim their authenticity, and step into the fullness of their purpose without burning out.
Resources and frameworks that make deep transformation accessible, sustainable, and grounded in real life, not just theory.
A ripple effect: When one person chooses wholeness over survival, they change not just their own life, but the lives of everyone around them. That’s the world I’m creating, one transformed heart at a time.
This isn’t just about individual healing. It’s about collective transformation. It’s about what becomes possible when we stop running on empty and start living from fullness. When we stop chasing external validation and start trusting our inherent worthiness. When we stop performing and start being.
If this vision resonates with you, if you want to be part of amplifying this message, let’s collaborate. I’m looking for partners, platforms, and voices who are ready to have real conversations about what transformation actually looks like, and who want to invite their audiences into something deeper.
What I Bring to the Conversation
With over 20 years as a therapist, counsellor, coach, and trainer (plus my own journey through burnout to wholeness) I offer:
Real, lived experience: I’ve worked with the NSPCC, Relate, Dartmoor Prison, and built (and burned out from) an award-winning wellness business. I know what it’s like to be the “strong one” who finally breaks, and what it takes to rebuild from wholeness, not survival.
Research-backed wisdom: My work blends ancient practices (shamanic journeying, somatic healing, ceremony) with modern science (trauma research, HeartMath Institute, Neuroscience- Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work).
The WholeHearted Technique: A proprietary eight-stage transformation framework that helps high-achievers break free from survival patterns and embody their inherent worthiness.
Authentic storytelling: I don’t do polished perfection. I share the messy, beautiful truth of transformation, including my own move to Italy, starting over, and choosing wholeness over hustle.
