My name is Georgiy Baldin. I’m a clinical psychologist, hypnotherapist, and Rapid Transformational Therapy®(RTT) practitioner. I’ve been leading the private practice in counselling & psychotherapy for the last 3 years helping clients to solve different psychological disturbances, behavioural problems, relationship issues and many other emotional problems. I’m a great believer that by understanding and fixing the root cause clients can achieve life-changing benefits and improve their quality of life towards wholeness and freedom. Before devoting my work full-time to psychological help, I spent 17 years in leading positions in the business world. I was focused on human development and team-building, creating a safe environment with a culture of trust and cooperation where people could reveal their talents and potential. My qualification proof consists of a Master’s Degree in Psychology and professional training qualifications as a Certified Hypnotherapist, RTT® practitioner, and Counsellor.

I studied 3D Design Crafts & became a qualified jeweller & silversmith in the early 90’s. I went on to work in Hatton Garden in a top Swiss bullion dealers & coloured gemstone dealers for many years. Over the years I have had many commissions for bespoke jewellery, including wedding & engagement rings. I use my wealth of knowledge & experience I have gained working in precious metals, precious & semi-precious gemstones to create beautiful handmade unique jewellery. I offer unique pieces to suit every budget & work closely with the client to provide a high-quality service. I feel that unique jewellery should be available to everyone. On another level the ready to wear & organic healing pieces are created from the inspiration I gain from organic matter but above all through my spiritual side. I create my designs through hypnosis visualising shapes, colours & textures. I am guided towards certain gemstones which in turn have strong spiritual meanings in the sense that that can heal & bring comfort. Contact Details Website

In 2014, after my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, my life took a transformative turn. Shifting away from a career in dentistry, I explored holistic healing practices that not only helped my mother become cancer-free but also fostered my own personal growth. Now, as a qualified practitioner with diplomas in Yoga, Ayurveda, Reiki, and several other modalities, my journey has been shaped by a deep belief in the power of self-healing. With a passion for helping others transcend limiting beliefs, I guide people toward unlocking their potential, drawing inspiration from my experiences and a variety of spiritual practices.

200hr RYT Ashtanga , Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. I´m on a mission to make Yoga accessible to everyone. Ever heard someone say „I can’t do yoga because I´m not flexible“? Well, good news, no one has to be specifically flexible to start yoga at all. Everybody has a yoga body. Step on the mat with me, disconnect from the outside world for a bit and discover how different you’ll feel when heading out the door at the end of a class. My journey started in 2018 in Berlin, before embarking on an adventure through Australia which lead me to visit countless yoga studios and meet inspiring Yogis that have ultimately fostered my curiosity for this ancient practice before settling in the UK in 2021. When I´m not practicing, you can find me wandering around the Northern Quarter in Manchester, a natural wine bar in Berlin or at home playing with my dog Leo. Contact Details Instagram LinkedIn

RYT (200 hrs) yoga teacher of hatha, pranayama and meditation ICF Approved business and life coach Trained in Menopause Yoga A compassionate teacher of hatha yoga, pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra since 2018. Born in the UK with Indian roots I feel strongly connected to the ancient wisdom of yoga from the country of my heritage. I would like to dispel the westernised image of yoga to help everyone access the true essence of what yoga is - remove the ego, the need to look perfect, and the idea that yoga is a workout. When I practice with a student, I offer kindness and patience, connecting the practice to yogic philosophy with a desire to help others find their inner strength and inner wisdom.

I am a Yoga teacher, Holistic and Sound therapist, and a newly qualified Forest Therapist guide. I live in Northern Ireland and in the past ten years I have worked with people of all ages and abilities to improve health, wellbeing, peace of mind and relaxation in order to bring some positive changes to their lives. As a Holistic practitioner I believe that the purpose of any holistic treatment (massage, sound therapy, forest therapy or yoga) is to create balance and harmony in order to prevent illness or disease in the whole person, mind, body and soul both on a physical and emotional level. I love my mindful walks in the morning, I am in love with the MOON and I meditate by creating yoga inspired Mala beads. My favourite quote: Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit! I have singed up to do a Cold Water Challenge in March to fundraise for Cancer research UK.

I have just qualified to visit schools so that I can educate young women about health, hormones and nutrition. I will be encouraging them to make good choices early and therefore improve their life and mental wellbeing. It’s never too late to be able to turn your life around at any age. Having my story featured in a health book last year was incredible. If someone had told me seven years ago that this would happen-I would never have believed them!
