About Dee
I’m Dee Marshall, founder of I Am Well and Islington Healing Network.
I’m an integrated wellbeing practitioner, complementary therapist and facilitator.
For more than twenty years, I have worked alongside children, families, schools, workplaces and communities.
I’m interested in what people are carrying, how pressure is showing up and what they can realistically use when the session is over. That is what has shaped my work from the beginning.
Why I Created I Am Well
Over the years, I kept noticing how quickly people could see when somebody else was not themselves, yet how long it could take them to recognise the same shift in their own body, behaviour or way of coping.
Pressure rarely arrives all at once. It builds quietly through tiredness, tension, shorter patience, losing motivation or simply becoming used to feeling unlike yourself.
That is why I created I Am Well. Not because I think people need fixing, but because noticing what is happening earlier gives us more choice in how we respond.
Experience That Shapes the Work
I Am Well did not begin with a website or a company registration.
It grew from more than twenty years spent in youth work, community engagement, schools, parent and family settings, wellbeing facilitation and complementary therapies.
Working across those different spaces taught me that context matters.
What works for one person, group or setting will not necessarily work for another.
I do not arrive with a fixed script and expect people to fit around it.
I pay attention to who is in front of me, what is happening in the room and what would be genuinely
useful when they leave.
Training That Supports the Work
Experience matters, but so does working safely and understanding where the limits of my role are.
I hold an Enhanced DBS, and I Am Well is fully insured. My training includes safeguarding children and adults, mental health first aid, trauma-informed practice, suicide prevention, first aid, group facilitation and a Level 3 Award in Education and Training.
I continue to develop my practice across complementary therapies, SEND, bereavement, behaviour, conflict resolution and community work. I choose training because it should help me work more safely and respond more thoughtfully—not because I want a wall full of certificates.
How I Work
I do not believe wellbeing is about fixing people or telling them how to live.
My role is to create enough space for people to notice what is happening, understand what may be sitting underneath it and explore practical ways of responding.
That might happen through a workplace workshop, a school programme, a complementary therapy session, a community project or a free resource. The setting may change, but what matters does not: paying attention to what is actually happening and leaving people with something they can use.
