Rafaël Dupré, BSc, MBCAP, PGCE Life! There are moments when it feels completely overwhelming, confusing or simply too difficult. Everyone struggles with life’s complexities and from time to time, we all need someone who will listen, who will understand and who will help us to get things back on track. My name is Rafaël Dupré - I am originally from Belgium, although I have lived in India, the UK and France and have divided my time between private practices in London, rural Kent and France. I have over 20 years’ experience working in the broader mental health arena. My early career was spent working specifically with young people, either individually or within their family unit, to overcome issues ranging from social exclusion to relationship difficulties and the effects of addiction or abuse. During this time I developed an interest in solution-focused therapy, including the Bruges Model, as a means of fostering change so that clients not only benefit from greater understanding, but also have the tools to implement those changes on a very practical level. Today my practice is split between working with individuals and couples from all walks of life and I provide therapy for a hugely diverse range of issues. I also work extensively with young people aged 12 to 18 years. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within the BACP Ethical Framework. I attend regular sessions with a BACP-accredited supervisor to ensure consistently high standards of care. Alongside my clinical work, I deliver coaching for individuals who want to become professional counsellors and I am registered with the Teaching Regulation Authority. I have completed additional courses in Contextual Therapy, Family Therapy, Working with victims of (sexual) abuse, addiction (sex, substances, porn), attachment related difficulties and relational issues.

Helen Mallaburn is an experienced Nutritional Therapist, with further qualifications in Health Coaching and Biomedical Sciences. Helen specialises in helping women with Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism live a full, symptom free life with simple diet and lifestyle changes. Helen started out her career working in the pharmaceutical industry in England following graduation from Sheffield Hallam University. When work life balance became an issue and her health started to deteriorate Helen moved to the French Alps with her husband, working as a private chef in luxury chalets and later in private villas across Europe. During this time Helen’s health completely crashed with diagnosis’ of Coeliac disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Pernicious anaemia and Fibromyalgia. Daily life became a struggle and simple tasks such as showering, washing and styling her hair would leave her exhausted. A gift of Nutritional Therapy sessions from a friend for her 40th birthday saw the start of Helen’s recovery. Realising the impact diet and lifestyle had on her symptoms and her quality of life Helen took the huge step of studying Nutrition and Health Coaching and then continuing onto Nutritional Sciences and Therapeutics with the International Institute of Nutrition & Health. What Helen learnt during her studies and the resulting changes she made enabled her to recover her health. Helen now loves using her unique skill set and experience to help other women struggling with Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism to do the same.

Hi, I’m Lisa, HealthCoachLisa and a Holistic Health Coach with 30 years of experience in holistic living and a deep passion for reconnecting people to their innate healing power. My journey began with an introduction to superfoods and a life-changing moment hearing Jeffrey Bland speak on nutrition. Over time, I researched, experimented, qualified, marketed, trained, and coached as my path evolved from a functional to the holistic approach I embrace today—one rooted in nature as the true foundation of health freedom. My 12 week 1:1 coaching program, The Vital Body Method, focuses on three pillars: Rooted Energetics - connecting with nature, growing your intuition, and letting go of limiting beliefs, Precision Energetics - using science-backed Energy Medicine technology to help bring the body back into coherence with frequency balancing until you can completely do this naturally, and Embodied Vitality - embedding new holistic practices that reconnect you with nature and developing your personalized vitality toolkit for life.

Laetitia Felix is a Fertility & Pregnancy Coach & Mind-Body Practitioner, founder of Mindset, Body & Soul, dedicated to supporting women navigating unexplained and/or secondary infertility and emotionally challenging pregnancies. Having experienced her own fertility challenges before naturally conceiving her daughter at 40 - four years of unexplained infertility, multiple losses, adenomyosis & low AMH - Laetitia deeply understands the silent grief, fear, and frustration that can accompany this path. But she also knows firsthand that conception is far from being just a physical or medical process. While many women do everything “right” physically — tests, supplements, treatments, tracking, lifestyle changes — there is often a missing piece rarely acknowledged: the emotional, subconscious, and nervous system aspect of fertility. This is the gap Laetitia bridges. Today, she combines her personal experience with training in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Hypnosis, Energy Healing, and NLP-based Mindset Coaching — including inner child and womb healing — to support women through deep emotional transformation. Through reconnecting with the body, creating inner safety, processing unresolved emotions and trauma, and aligning conscious and subconscious beliefs, she helps women move out of survival mode and into a state where the body feels safe to receive and sustain life. She helps women move from anxiety, fear, and disconnection toward calm, trust, empowerment, and hope, whether they are trying to conceive naturally or alongside medical support. She also supports women throughout pregnancy — particularly after a difficult conception journey, loss, birth trauma — helping them feel emotionally safe, connected, and supported as they move through pregnancy. Connect with Laetitia for powerful content, free resources, and support to help you reclaim your sense of wholeness and walk your fertility or pregnancy journey with greater clarity, strength, trust, and hope.

Becoming a mother in a foreign country, with very little support, led me to my current educational background in Integral Body Psychotherapy. In 2017. I took a course on Natural Parenting. This helped me greatly to understand my daughter better, and to raise her with the knowledge and understanding of her needs for healthy striving. I continued with the Early Development studies program to get to know myself deeper, and my unconscious mind, formed through experiences and relationships. This was the first level in education for therapists of Integral Body Psychotherapy. I continued with Program OR, Personal Development that lasted 4 years, which brought me a deep transformative experience and personal growth. This is the second level of Comprehensive personal development and education for Integral Body Psychotherapists. Parallel to my Personal Development program I have taken a course in Therapeutic Practice – a two-year program that is conducted with the 3rd and 4th year of Personal Development Program with an explicit education in basic psychotherapy skills and introduction on how to work with clients. Continuing with a two-year Degree in Advanced Therapeutic Training, which consists of very intensive explicit education in physical psychotherapy skills conducted by trainers and supervisors as well as foreign trainers and supervisors Heiner Steckel, Walid Daw and Olaf Trapp. My experiential practice and personal inquiry enhances my capacity to respond to clients at an implicit emotional and relational level.

I guide you to heal, find inner calm, and reconnect with who you truly are, so you can create a life that feels aligned. My work blends healing, intuitive insight, mind–body techniques, and positive psychology to support deep, lasting transformation. Through personalised 1:1 sessions, I help you release what feels heavy, get clear on what you truly want, and return to a sense of balance mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Each session is intuitive, gentle, and guided by your energy, a co-creation designed to bring you back to yourself. I am passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe to speak openly about their challenges and inner world, especially men, who are often taught to stay silent and suppress their emotions. One of my mission´s is to help dissolve that stigma and offer a compassionate space where healing, expression, and reconnection are possible. I also create beginner-friendly meditations and holistic/spiritual videos to support anyone seeking calm, clarity, and reconnection in their everyday lives. I believe we are not broken, none of us. The answers we seek are already within; sometimes they just need a safe space to rise.

I started my working life in the IT industry. Sitting long hours initially didn’t bother me. I was young and back pain wasn’t a thing in your 20s – right?! Then in my late 20s I injured my back carrying a piano. Although I didn’t have any pain immediately, over the coming days and weeks, my back started to hurt and I was getting pain down my right leg. I saw a physiotherapist on my GP’s referral and although it helped it didn’t resolve the pain for long. A friend of mine suggested seeing a chiropractor. This did help – and ignited an interest in how and why it helped as well as why I was in pain. Subsequently, I started my training to become a chiropractor and 5 years later qualified in 2013. As all new chiropractors do, I tested different techniques to see what seemed to work the best for me and my patients. During my first year of practice, I went to a seminar in Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC). This turned out to be quite a radical approach to why bodies go wrong and how to fix them. The word ‘why‘ is important here because most techniques focus on looking at what is out of alignment in the skeleton and how to adjust it. But what if the misalignment is due to some other underlying problem that the body cannot fix? And how did this problem occur? This is where ABC shed light and provided a reliable and consistent template to fix structural body problems. In practical terms, I found that being treated with the ABC technique stabilised my body allowing my muscles to relax rather than constantly fighting against gravity to hold me upright. Previous techniques offered relief for a while by freeing up joints but then the tension and pain returned – because my body was still unstable. Furthermore, my body had formed layer upon layer of compensations to try and deal with the underlying issues that have taken time to unravel. These include fatigue, headaches, knee pain and shoulder pain. After receiving regular ABC treatment for almost a year, my symptoms were much improved. The goal of ABC is to have an ‘unawareness’ of your body. Most of us, if we stand still for a moment and focus on our body will realise that something hurts or doesn’t feel right. This is because it isn’t right. Pain often becomes like a background noise you get accustomed to and forget what silence sounds like. This is the aim with Advanced Biostructural Correction.
