WHO WE ARE
The Kuutch Circle



At Kuutch, we believe in being well to do well.
Curious about our name? "Kuutch" is inspired by the Welsh word "cwtch", a word that means more than just a hug. It’s a feeling of safety, support, and coming home, and that’s exactly what we want people to experience at work. When people feel valued, supported, and able to bring their whole selves to work, they don’t just perform better, they lead, create, and grow.
Kuutch was founded by Samantha Tremlin, a senior leader with extensive experience in STEM, manufacturing, sales, and retail, as well as a strong background in holistic health, coaching, and workplace wellbeing. Samantha has led global wellbeing initiatives in high performance industries, gaining firsthand insight into how businesses can fuel success without sacrificing their people in the process.
At Kuutch, we bring together experts in workplace wellbeing, leadership development, transformation, mental health, holistic health and culture change. Together, we form The Kuutch Circle, a team of specialists with deep expertise in strategy, coaching, policy development, employee engagement and leadership transformation. We don’t believe in generic solutions. We embed real change into organisations, ensuring that wellbeing and performance work together, not against each other.
We’re not here to sell quick fixes. The Kuutch Circle is a movement, a team of experts pushing back against outdated ways of working. We’re here to redesign work so people can think clearly, lead boldly, and perform at their best, without burning themselves out in the process.
Meet the Team
A diverse group of subject matter experts in wellbeing, mental health, holistic health, and coaching, dedicated to enhancing workplace wellness and performance.

Samantha Tremlin
Founder & Wellbeing Strategist
Samantha is a workplace wellbeing and leadership strategist, NLP, exec and burnout coach, meditation teacher, hypnotherapist and positive psychology & energy practitioner, helping organisations rethink leadership, culture and performance by embedding wellbeing as a business strategy, not a perk.
With over 25 years in corporates, including senior leadership roles in STEM and Global Wellbeing Lead at Dyson, Sam has led cross-functional teams, managed complex operations, and coached executives, senior leaders and high-performing teams at organisations like Dyson and The Prince’s Trust. She’s seen first hand the disconnect...companies driving innovation while their people are running on empty.
Through Kuutch, she partners with organisations to transform workplace culture, develop conscious leaders and drive sustainable performance. She also acts as a Fractional Chief Wellbeing Officer or Wellbeing Director, offering strategic wellbeing leadership and cultural change without the need for a full time hire.
Her work transforms workplace culture, develops conscious leaders and drives sustainable performance by blending science, energy and human potential.
Having burned out in a toxic, high pressure workplace, Sam knows the cost of outdated leadership firsthand. That experience led her to neuroscience, positive psychology, energy practices and conscious leadership, and ultimately to building a new way of working.
She is also the Co-Host of 'The Future of Work: Built for Humans' Podcast and 'The Wednesday Woo Woo Show', bringing science, energy, leadership transformation and the future of work into the conversation.

Debra Peltz
Wellbeing & Business Support Specialist
With a background in workplace wellbeing, neurodiversity, and business support, Debra is passionate about creating healthier, more inclusive workplaces. She has over 25 years of experience supporting senior leaders across different sectors and now focuses on fostering environments where people feel valued and supported.
She founded the Cross Sector Wellbeing Forum and is part of Let’s Improve Workplace Wellbeing Leadership Team. As a Workplace Neurodiversity Instructor, she helps organisations better support neurodivergent employees.

Willow Bear
Chief Energy Officer
Willow leads on team morale, emotional energy, physical movement, and snack based interventions. She’s responsible for creating calm, connected spaces, whether in workshops, team check-ins, or quiet 1:1s under the desk.
Frequently mistaken for a Cockerpoo, Willow is in fact an Australian Labradoodle. Always the upmost professional, she brings a calm, intuitive presence to the team, offering unspoken support, encouraging regular movement, and keeping a close eye on snack schedules. She’s especially skilled at knowing who needs a moment of grounding (or a gentle nudge to go outside).
She works hard to boost wellbeing across our Kuutch culture, keeping a close eye on stress levels, pacing, and social interaction (especially when it involves a walk). She’s also particularly passionate about psychological safety, unspoken support, and making sure everyone feels seen, especially if they’ve got a biscuit.
Willow is currently training to be a therapy dog. Her qualifications include a PhD in Human Energy, Level 3 in Cuddle Therapy, and being Very Good.
Outside of work, she enjoys woodland walks, sunlit naps, and maintaining strong boundaries with pigeons.

Unlike most money coaches, Kim has real world financial experience and a deep understanding of how the system works.

Jo Moran
Certified Menopause Coach
Jo is a certified Menopause Coach and an accredited member of the Association for Coaching, bringing nearly four decades of frontline experience in financial services, including senior leadership at a FTSE 100 organisation, to her work supporting women and workplaces alike.
Her own midlife transition, marked by brain fog, fatigue and a sense of not recognising herself, sparked a deep commitment to change the way women experience menopause. That lived experience, paired with evidence informed coaching practice, informs her compassionate, practical approach: helping women rebuild energy, clarity and confidence, and supporting workplaces to acknowledge and respond to the challenges this life stage brings.
Alongside her work with women, Jo is also passionate about helping men and mixed teams better understand and support women, whether as colleagues, partners or leaders, recognising that healthier workplaces and relationships are built through shared understanding, empathy and responsibility.
At Kuutch, Jo partners with teams and leaders to embed supportive approaches for women in midlife, improve psychological safety, and ensure that high performing people can thrive, not just cope. She believes that work cultures that understand and honour human transitions are more resilient, humane and ultimately more successful.
