About
Shell is a hospitality veteran with 18 years FOH experience, focusing primarily on operations, training, and business development. She has worked for some of London's best restaurant groups including Hawksmoor, Gaucho and Polpo. Having suffered a life changing burnout late 2020, she has changed her focus to improving the mental health working conditions of people in the hospitality industry by forcing difficult conversations out into the open, specifically concerning the hidden epidemic of addiction. In May 2023 she started a podcast, We Recover Loudly, to offer a platform for people with experience of drug and alcohol addiction, in the industry to discuss what we can do to change the systemic culture of excessive substance use we have. The episodes also highlight how it is possible to break these habits and still work within the industry, having a thriving career while in recovery. Shell's work continues to look beyond high levels of addiction we have and ask, "if alcohol/drugs were the solutions to a problem, what problems do we have in our industry that we need to change?”
​
The services We Recover Loudly provides include onsite workshops promoting a safe and inclusive drinking culture in the workplace, small group coaching for managers to help them better support team members and change the culture and attitudes towards drinking in their sites, and as a qualified recovery coach, she also runs 121 mentoring for hospitality leaders who want to change their relationship with drugs and alcohol. As someone who is diagnosed as autistic, ADHD hyperactive and dyslexic, Shell’s recent training programs have focused on how we create more supportive environments for people who are neurodiverse in the workplace, highlighting the long term impact not providing adjustments can have on their mental health, and the direct increased risk of harmful addictive behaviours.
​
In her spare time, Shell is Low No Drinker magazine’s resident agony aunt, 'Aunty Shell'. She lives in Bournemouth with her sassy sausage dog called Milo who loves the beach and going out for brunch!

"From Michelle’s shining personality to her expert knowledge, working with you has been a real highlight of my time here. I cannot thank you enough for enlightening us at The Hari, to be able to get across those real, gritty points with such enthusiasm and positivity is a gift. You have made a real difference for us & set the tone for hopefully a lot more wellbeing initiatives. We would be thrilled to have you back for more of your expertise, sooner rather than later!"
