Please read: coaching, not medical care
I'm a doctor, but I won't be your doctor.
Dawn is a coaching service, not a medical one. My medical training informs how I coach, but through Dawn I don't diagnose, prescribe, interpret results for you, or treat medical conditions. Your own GP stays responsible for your health care.
What Dawn is
Training, nutrition and lifestyle coaching for adults, planned with medical knowledge in the background.
What Dawn isn't
A medical service. No diagnoses, prescriptions, referrals, fit notes or treatment, and no replacement for your GP.
If you're unwell
Contact your GP or NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency. Please don't wait for a check-in or rely on a message to me.
Who it's for
Whatever you're working towards, there's a pathway for it.
Every plan is individual, but most people start from one of four places.
01
Endurance
Running, cycling, swimming and triathlon, from a first 10k to a full Ironman. Structured training with proper zones, a fuelling plan and a taper that has you fresh on race day.
02
Strength
Get stronger and build muscle with progressive, well-coached lifting that fits around the rest of your week.
03
Hybrid
Hyrox, functional fitness, or simply wanting to be strong and fit at the same time. Strength and engine planned together, so one doesn't undermine the other.
04
General Health & Performance
Energy, body composition, sleep and the everyday habits that add up. Fitter and healthier for life, with or without an event in the diary.
Why Dawn
Coaching with medical insight behind it.
Medical knowledge in the background
My training as a doctor shapes how I plan: what's sensible for you, what the evidence supports, and when to say "that one's for your GP". I'm your coach, not your doctor.
Evidence over fads
No detoxes, no miracle supplements, no extremes. Just what the research supports, explained in plain English.
Built around your life
Shift work, children, travel, an old injury. The plan fits the life you actually have, not an ideal week you never get.
Reviewed every week
We check in weekly and adjust. Nothing is set and forgotten, and you're never left guessing what to do next.
How it works
From first message to weekly rhythm.
- 1
Enquire
Tell me a little about you and what you'd like to change. It takes two minutes.
- 2
Free intro chat
A relaxed chat to see whether we're a good fit. By video or phone, or by WhatsApp message and voice note if you'd rather not call. No hard sell.
- 3
Onboarding
A health screen, your goals and a baseline, so I start with the full picture.
- 4
Your plan
Training, nutrition targets and habits, set out day by day in the Dawn app.
- 5
Weekly check-ins

About your coach
Hello, I'm Tom.
I'm a doctor. Working as a GP, I meet people at every stage of life and hear what actually gets in the way of them being well. Medicine is very good at treating disease, and less good at helping people build the kind of life that keeps disease away.
Dawn is my answer to that gap. The name says what it's for: a fresh start, and steady progress from there, with someone in your corner who understands both the training and the medicine.
I train and race myself, so I know what it's like to fit it around a demanding job. One thing I'm careful about: when I'm coaching you, I'm your coach, not your doctor. That stays with your own GP.
- Medical doctor, working as a GP in the UK
- BSc and MSc in Biomedical Science, with a background in research
- Qualifications in nutrition, strength and conditioning, and lifestyle medicine
- Currently studying for an MA in Philosophy
