Our team

Our team

Experienced practitioners committed to making wellbeing support accessible to everyone. Rebalance is led by two practitioners who combine clinical expertise with a genuine passion for community health.

Paweł Rudziński, Co-Director and Clinical Lead at Rebalance Wellbeing Hub CIC

Paweł Rudziński

Co-Director & Clinical Lead

Paramedic Practitioner, educator and co-founder of Rebalance Wellbeing Hub CIC, based in Oxfordshire. His work centres on prevention, health literacy, and helping people rebuild their wellbeing in practical, measurable ways — a mission forged through personal crisis.

Diagnosed with cancer in December 2016 while working in frontline ambulance services, he came through surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy with a changed understanding: that health is shaped by daily behaviour, not protected by profession or luck. After full medical clearance he immersed himself in lifestyle medicine, metabolic health, circadian biology, stress physiology and performance science — turning personal survival into disciplined, structured transformation.

He previously co-founded DRW Group in Poland, delivering 1,000+ hours of first-aid and emergency education in partnership with the American Heart Association, and has progressed from frontline paramedic through clinical mentorship, education management at South Central Ambulance Service, and an Associate Lecturer role at Oxford Brookes University. At Rebalance he leads development of HolistIQ™ and the National Lottery–funded 5 Pillars of Health workshops.

His message is direct but hopeful: serious illness is not always preventable, but neglect often is — health is not guaranteed, it is built.

Gabriela (Gabby) Barody, Co-Director for Clinical, Coaching and Education at Rebalance Wellbeing Hub CIC

Gabriela (Gabby) Barody

Co-Director — Clinical, Coaching & Education

Registered Nurse, senior educator, transformational coach and elected councillor with over three decades of experience across acute care, primary care and professional development. She holds an MSc in Advanced Practice and an MA in Coaching and Mentoring and is completing a doctorate in the field.

A UK Resuscitation Council instructor and former senior lecturer in paramedic and nursing sciences, she pairs clinical authority and academic rigour with deep community rootedness. She serves as a councillor on Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council (Chair of the Environment, Amenities and Infrastructure Committee), was Mayor of Abingdon-on-Thames for 2024–25 under a theme of inclusivity, and is a Nominative Governor of Christ's Hospital of Abingdon and council representative to The Abingdon Bridge.

Her coaching philosophy centres on helping people recognise their own capability. At Rebalance she leads the initial assessment process and delivers coaching-led interventions addressing the whole person — physical, emotional and social.

Her belief is simple: health should be accessible, shared, and built together.
