About

Pilar Sanchez, founder of Sunurture

Two Paths | One Mission

Supporting the health of people and the planet - through coaching and energy projects.

​

I’m a certified Nutrition & Health Coach, currently training in Nutritional Therapy. I support professionals who want to feel better, restore their energy, and improve their health in a natural, sustainable way.

 

I also work with companies driving the energy transition and building a healthier planet. I’ve spent over 23 years in corporate roles — from finance and project management to leadership positions — working with fast-paced teams, tight deadlines, and big goals. That experience helps me deeply understand what many of my coaching clients face: how easy it is to lose balance, and how powerful it can be to get it back.

I help professionals achieve their goals and improve their health.

My connection with natural health began early in life. I still remember the day my mum handed me a glass of lettuce juice with grated coconut to bring down a fever — no medicine, just nature. She had completely changed her lifestyle and filled our home with fruits, veggies, and natural remedies. That shift left a mark on me.

 

Years later, it was my older sister who inspired my deeper passion for health and nutrition - she became my mentor before I started to study.

Personal Health Journey 
 

Over time, I’ve worked on managing stress, letting go of perfectionism, creating a low-tox environment, improving my energy and sleep, and building simple habits that support the way I want to live and feel.

 

More recently, I discovered I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which gave me even more motivation to continue caring for my body and mind with intention. Thankfully, I feel well and energised — and I’ve learned to listen to my body with curiosity and compassion.

 

One thing I’ve learned is this: we shouldn’t wait for a big problem to start taking care of our health. It’s the small changes we make consistently — with kindness and patience — that truly create long-term change.

Orange Juice

Mediterranean flavour

I was born in Spain and had the luxury of enjoying nutrient-dense food, a wide variety of options, and plenty of sunshine!

​

Spain has amazing food, but often the way it's cooked or processed turns it into something less healthy. 

​

Although I love many aspects of the Spanish lifestyle, I would never change my habit of eating around 6 pm here in London (instead of 9:30 pm in Madrid). This ensures my body has the night to detox and isn't busy digesting my dinner.

Creating impact to improve our planet's health

With over 23 years of experience in the corporate world — including 11 dedicated to the energy sector — I work with organisations to deliver and manage projects that support the energy transition, with a focus on grid flexibility and sustainable innovation.
 
Throughout my career, I’ve seen how organisational success is deeply connected to the wellbeing of people. When employees are well, they make better decisions, collaborate more effectively, and drive more meaningful impact.
 
My work sits at the intersection of technical delivery, leadership and commercial roles — whether managing projects across UK and Europe or supporting teams through complex transitions, I care deeply about getting things done while staying aligned with long-term sustainability goals.
