Hello! My name is Molly and I am The Sunshine Yogini. My aim is to spread a little love, joy and and sparkle to the world through the ancient and beautiful practice of Yoga. Currently based in Gloucestershire, I enjoy teaching all over the country running classes and work-shops with lots of lovely yogis all round the UK. I came to yoga years ago as a way of maintaining my body flexibility and improving my strength, but soon fell into my practice as a journey of self-discovery, spirituality, healing and union. Deepening my understanding of yoga through meditative practice, asana, pranayama and reading across many of the ancient texts I found myself lead into becoming a yoga teacher. Qualified with The Yoga Alliance RYT 200 in 2018 I have begun my next step in my journey and would love to share the joy of yoga with the world. I am delighted to welcome people of all ages, shapes, sizes, abilities and diversities into my classes. Do enquire if you'd like to spend a little time with one-to-one with me, or in one of my classes, I would just love to hear from you!

I’m Sheral Samuels (the owner of Lumo Inspiration t/a Lumo Crystals). I am an accredited Certified Crystal Healing Practitioner and also a Master-in-Training Life Force Energy Healer. When it comes to healing, my clients have an added advantage of both worlds as they are exposed to Crystal Healing and LFEH. As a highly intuitive person I always knew that I had a special gift for healing but didn’t know to what extent until I completed my training as a healing practitioner. My mom told me, that I was psychic from a very young age, so I guess that I am a natural born healer as it comes to me instinctively. I believe that we are all born healers! All you need is faith, passion and belief! I am very blessed and excited about the amazing path that I am following, as it enables me to help and be of service to others (on their healing journey).

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

Hello, I am Grace Lillywhite and I’m the owner of Centred Mums; exciting and innovative pregnancy and postnatal wellbeing programmes in St Albans designed to support women throughout their motherhood journey. I have been working with this wonderful population of women for the last eight years and can’t imagine doing anything more enjoyable or rewarding. My sole intention is to spread the word to all women that pregnancy and postnatal exercise, wellness and nutrition is VITAL and LIFE CHANGING. The way you treat your body during the pregnant and postnatal years is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. I want to teach as many women as I can how to look after their pregnant and postnatal bodies and how to connect to their body to enable them to exercise safely, effectively and in a way that is sustainable for the rest of their lives. I want to connect with you if you are pregnant or have EVER been pregnant (even if that was 20 years ago!) and are looking for advice and support in how best to stay active and connected to your body. If you have abdominal separation, pelvic floor issues (a little bit of wee is NOT normal!), are unsure how to manage pain when exercising then please get in touch as I believe I can help you! With the knowledge I have accumulated from my continuous professional development, my years of experience working with postnatal women and my own body after having 2 children, I have developed a programme of teaching techniques to improve pelvic floor and abdominal function. I have successfully rehabilitated Diastasis Recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, Pelvic Girdle Pain, sciatica, sacroiliac joint problems, disc issues and general back pain in the pre and postnatal period. I have taught teacher training workshops for the Pilates Foundation and I was recently honoured to be asked to become part of the Faculty for The Center for Women’s Fitness. I am currently working towards the Burrell Education Advanced CPD in Modern Post Natal Assessment, Core Restore & Functional Exercise Programming and will be training as a doula with BirthBliss in May 2019.

My name is Kaya and I have lived in the world of healing since I was a child. Without knowing what energies are or how they work, I was intuitively healing animals. As a teenager I realised that I can help others to let go of their pain, and so my healing path had begun. By practicing and experiencing healing, I developed my own healing technique which I call natural-intuitive healing. I have since then attended a number of courses in energy healing and other kinds of therapy in order to expand my understanding. On top of that I have attended courses for psychological astrology, art therapy and hypnotherapy. I draw most of my inspiration and energy from nature for which I have always felt a very strong and dynamic relationship with. I haven’t had the easiest path through life, so most of my healing work I have done for myself and my close ones. Today I can be nothing but grateful for all my experiences because they have taught me so much! There is no book in the world which can give you more knowledge than learning from your own experiences. It applies to you as well: Today you might feel deeply troubled, but one day you will give your gratitude for all you have been through because it made you greater! All the challenges we face happen because our soul chooses them, so we can learn from them and win this game, become a clearer, purer, and higher self. We are all here to shine! We just need to bring light to all the shadows! Therefore I created this Personal Healing Process for you. And I would love to share with you all what has been given to me to overcome difficulties, from my heart, to yours.

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.

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
