I started my career in counselling and social work, working with children and families mainly to support and empower, but due to my own mental health needs, triggered by the stressful working environment and some quite significant life events I decided to retrain in Hypnotherapy. Alongside my Hypnotherapy training where I learned about the amazing benefits I also realised that this therapy was helping me significantly with my own mental health symptoms. I started my own business, Hummingbird Hypnotherapy, in 2017 and seeing the changes and positive results in the people that I work with is what drives me every day. I am always training and learning and trying out new ideas to make hypnotherapy as accessible as possible. Contact Details Email: silvia@hummingbirdmindtherapy.uk Website Instagram Facebook X

Paul Becque is a Transformational Coach and Mindset Trainer. He helps people take their ideas and plans from where they are now, to where they want to be. For the past ten years, he has worked with a wide range of clients, seeing them step out of their comfort zone, enjoy real growth and get the results they want and deserve. But change requires action and consequently, his coaching goes above and beyond the usual lip-service and accountability chatter. Exceptional service is found within the experience of lasting transformation and empowerment – this is based on effective choices, powerful decisions, and constructive behaviour. Great change doesn’t happen overnight but you can take the right steps today. For more than 30 years, Paul has conducted his life as if it were a personal development experiment in an effort to understand the human mind, habits and behaviour. This has provided him with opportunities to travel the planet, talk to audiences around the world and empower others to flourish in all aspects of their lives. However, he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Not everything was a bed of roses. Paul has endured his fair share of dark days, hair-raising moments and occasions when he considered ending it all. It’s these painful junctures that fuelled his compulsion to understand what life is all about, and why only a handful of people seem to enjoy complete success and fulfilment whilst most of us ricochet from one compromise to another in an effort to find some comfort and at best, moments of happiness. You can learn more about Paul at engagewithsuccess.com and request a FREE 15-minute Life Strategy call.

I am a Hatha, Prenatal, and Postnatal Yoga teacher based in Co Durham, with a passion for sharing the many benefits of yoga for body, mind, and heart. I have practiced yoga since I was 16 years old, and been teaching yoga for over 13 years. For me, yoga provides a re-set button, bringing me back to myself, and helping me find balance throughout my life. Over the years yoga has helped me cope through stress, anxiety, depression, university life, work, pregnancy, motherhood, and more. Yoga helps to keep me grounded, balanced, positive, and relaxed. It releases tension from my body, calms my mind and soothes my heart. And this is what I hope to share with everyone attending my classes.

Hannah is the Founder of three specialist food companies that create food for the Ketogenic Diet based on whole foods. Before setting up the Natural Ketosis Group Hannah was a partner in a large global law firm specialising in corporate and corporate finance law. Her journey from law to nutrition began when she read an article in the British Medical Journal in 2000 reviewing three studies using the keto diet to reverse type 2 diabetes. The article outlined the basic biochemistry of the impact of elevated levels of insulin in the human body. From reading this article, Hannah decided to switch to a Keto/low carb diet and was amazed at how well she felt once she had stripped out the starch and sugar in her diet. The interest in insulin and diet continued to grow until, in 2003, she decided to leave the legal profession and start a food company to make low carb food but free from the rogue ingredients such as sweeteners and soya. Her first business started in 2004 and it was focused initially on low carb keto food options for the public who were mostly looking for weight loss or the management of type 2 diabetes. In 2013 she was approached by the charity Mathews Friends and in particular the founder Emma Wiliams OBE to create a range of food for children with drug resistant epilepsy. This began a deeper dive into the ketogenic diet and with an expert dietician she founded Ketocarefoods that supplies specialist food to the NHS for children with drug resistant epilepsy. Everything made is made from whole food and complies both with requirements of both the classic 3 to 1 ketogenic diet as well as the modified ketogenic diet. In 2020 she created FATT, which is a range of ultra clean and simple snacks for the ketogenic or low carb diet. None of her products have any sweeteners and are free from fillers or other processed ingredients. Hannah has been an advocate of ketogenic whole food diets for over 20 years and is a Patron of the Public Health Collaboration. Her business has been a supporter of charities such as Mathews Friends and Daisy Garland. Hannah is also the author of the book “BIG FAT LIES is our government making us fat?” Her passion is to help health professionals move away from a dependance on drugs for many modern chronic conditions and a greater engagement by the medical and health profession in the use of specific clinically proven diets to reverse and or manage multiple conditions. Hannah was born in London and has a BA in English and History of Art as well as a Diploma in Law. Contact Details Website Facebook Instagram

My journey into the Esoteric arts started way back in the 1970's so as you can guess I'm not as young as many of good people reading this article are. During the late 1970's and during the 1980's I was a devotee of traditional Hatha Yoga, Kenpo Karate and various schools of meditational practice. I became a vegetarian which lasted for 6 years but I was a true vegi, no chicken or fish and at that time it was not an easy task I can tell you with family and friends thinking I had totally lost the plot. So let’s fast forward to now, 2020, what am I up to these days as regards Health and Wellbeing. I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and Reflexologist trading together with my partner Jennie as Engra Holistics and based in Exeter, Devon where we were both born and grew up. (I am also a Karate instructor and have practiced Martial Arts for over 40 years now.) Jennie and I offer the following Holistic Therapies to all. Reflexology - Reiki -Rieki Drumming - Meditation Classes - Crystal Therapy - Shamanic Healing.

In 1996 I qualified as an Aromatherapist, Reflexologist and Stress Management Therapist. Unfortunately, I had to stop working for a while at the beginning of 2002 as I had a back operation but I never lost my love for helping others feel relaxed and more able to cope with life. Since then, I have dipped back and forth into this work.Each time I come back I feel more confident this is what I should be doing. In 2018 I moved to South West France to fulfil my dream of having a retreat where I could offer my therapies in surroundings that would enhance the treatments I give. While here I have completed a Breathwork course and Yoga Nidra facilitators course and am now half way through my 200 hour Yoga teacher training. I’ve learned since being in France that you are never too old to learn something new! Due to Covid restrictions I have been unable to hold retreats here at Maison du Bonheur, but I am sure in the not too distant future it will happen, until then we are open for summer guests who I can at least offer therapies to which I hope will help them feel relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed before they return to the ‘real world’.

I’ve worked in the corporate world. I’ve worked for a startup. I’ve worked for myself, and somewhere along the way, I became a mother. Throughout all this, I have dealt with a lot of anxiety. I always felt I needed to give 150% to any task before me – and nothing less would do. I eventually realized I was approaching burnout and needed help. In 2015, I started psychotherapy. This helped me to better manage my issues. Through these sessions, I learned who I am, what I want and what I need. In 2022, however, I discovered RTT and quickly fell in love with this unique technique. During the first few sessions, I went deep and uncovered root causes of issues I’ve had my whole life, transforming into a new reality of my life. I knew I wanted to help others find the root causes of issues that have held them back and guide them to become more fulfilled versions of themselves and have a life they truly love living. This has truly become one of my biggest missions in life; it is why I started studying RTT. Contact Details Email: marketa.chodura@gmail.com LinkedIn Website
