Meet KATIEANNE DUNCAN-BRUCE, a seasoned creative spirit with a BA(Hons) in Dance and a Live Events Diploma. Her global journey has seen her wear multiple hats – dancer, choreographer, teacher – and delve into production and management. Notably, Clarke Quay in Singapore holds a special place in her heart as the Entertainment Capital.
Proudest Chapter: The proudest chapter unfolded with the arrival of Katie's identical twin boys. Challenges of carrying twins tested her physical and mental strength, marked by a C-Section and two additional abdominal surgeries, including a painful full muscle repair for Diastasis Recti. Amidst this journey, she discovered the isolation due to the lack of pre and postnatal exercise options.
Transformation into a Specialist Women’s Yoga Teacher: This struggle fuelled Katie's transformation into a 300HR Specialist Women’s Yoga Teacher. 'Yogabellies Moray with Katie' was born in January 2022, dedicated to guiding women through pregnancy, postnatal stages, motherhood, fertility, and menopause, both locally in Moray and online.
Accolades and Achievements: Katie reached a pinnacle with a notable achievement – named the Pre/Post Natal Trainer of the Year 2023 at the Scottish Health & Fitness Awards. Evolving her business, she broadened its horizons by curating distinctive events and workshops, giving rise to the inception of KDB Energy®. This expansion was driven by an awareness of the widespread demand for stress reduction, invigoration, and relaxation, catering to various institutions such as the NHS, well-known charities, schools, and universities.
Current Role: Today, while building her business, she proudly serves as a Les Mills instructor in the local community and a Senior Yogabellies Teacher, contributing globally by training other Yogabellies teachers. This role enables her to share expertise and passion for holistic well-being and specialist women’s yoga on a broader scale.
The Visionary behind KDB Energy®: Leveraging her versatile background and drawing from diverse expertise in yoga, fitness, dance, choreography, and mindfulness, Katie goes beyond traditional boundaries. She orchestrates unique events, workshops, and diverse programmes, showcasing an innovative and holistic approach. Her coaching proficiency spans a wide spectrum, from guiding children and professionals to supporting postnatal women. Katie's expanded offerings encompass online courses and personalised 1-2-1 coaching, addressing various needs, from pregnancy and fertility to working with professional performers and collaborating on stage productions. Stress reduction, energising, and uplifting form the consistent threads intricately woven into all her transformative offerings. Guided by her principles of Kindness, Drive, and Balance, Katie creates experiences that truly stand out.

Hello, my name is Marika, and I am a qualified birth and postpartum doula based in Ireland.
I did my training with an amazing Krysia Lynch. I gained so much knowledge and understanding about birth during the training. I loved that Krysia so skillfully weaved in teachings from different aspects. Getting the right balance between the mind, body and soul. Becoming a doula was also my own personal healing journey, which made me more aware of what really happened during my own two births.
Now I am ready to serve women during their birth journeys, supporting them and their families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am very drawn to postpartum support as I feel sometimes the 4th trimester is overlooked , not giving enough attention and care to mum.
I am also a passionate Menstrual Cycle awareness advocate, working together with other women in the local community. Organizing women’s circles , retreats, and different kinds of gatherings. Working with women is definitely something that gives me purpose to get up in the morning. Women are thriving when they come together and feel supported and safe. We need each other for each other.
Thank you for considering me as your doula. I would be honoured to be part of your birthing journey, and, please, reach out to me if you have any enquiries. There are no silly questions.
Sending you lots of love

I’m a Shamanic Practitioner based in Exeter, but it wasn’t always like this. Over the last few years I’ve moved out of and away from my Christian faith to find a profoundly glorious home in Shamanism. I love the relatedness to our physical environment and all living creatures which this way of life embodies, while finding it to be immensely stimulating and challenging, especially when so much of our natural world is under greater threat than ever before.
I was at my best when living at and working from the margins of the Church, where things were far less clear-cut and where a mystical approach to the Divine was perfectly ok. In this context my practise of the ministry of healing took root, to grow, deepen and broaden in the following years. Yet, as I’ve moved away from Christianity so my understanding of illness, suffering and healing has continued to expand and informs my healing work in Shamanism. Now, looking back, I can see a golden thread (for healing) that runs through all the work I’ve undertaken in the Church and which continues still. I find this wondrous and it’s a source of joy and gratitude in me.
I’m a Bereavement Counsellor and a Life Coach too: one enriches the other. I’m based in Exeter, and work with Clients face-to-face, over the ‘phone and via Skype/FaceTime.

Hi. My name is Nikky. I teach Hatha Yoga, Kids Yoga and Developmental Baby Massage in Sligo, Ireland. After many years of battling depression, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and finally received, what I would whole-heartedly say, was lifesaving treatment. Having a background in meditation, mindfulness and pranayama, I already had the skills to help me stay as grounded as possible during the last couple of years and also my present and future journey in motherhood. For anyone reading this that thinks “…but I can’t do that…” for whatever reason…..all you need to do is take 3 mins each day to sit and breathe. That’s it. It’ll change your life.

I was born and grew up in South Africa and left to travel in 2000 going from Israel, Ireland, Scotland and finally settling in England. Since a child I have always felt called to natural and holistic healing. Although life took me on a varied corporate career path, when I was struggling with some minor health issues and struggled to lose weight, I decided to study nutrition. This led me to learn more about energy healing such as Reiki and working crystals and meditation. I no longer need the prescription medication and have lost a significant amount of weight through a combination of nutrition, exercise, and mindset. Through this knowledge and experience I have gained; I have been able to help others on the path to health and wellbeing.

My professional background is in Physiotherapy and I worked in the NHS for over 30 years predominantly as a community physiotherapist with an interest in Adults with a Learning Disability and Mental Health and latterly as a Service Manager, managing Community Rehabilitation across East Sussex.
Disillusioned by the increasing business ethos around UK healthcare and the minimal time available to spend with clients I started to develop other skills to allow me to treat everyone as an individual and to offer a combination of therapies dependent on their need.
I have a particular interest in how negative emotions affect our ability to be happy and healthy and how trapped emotions can hinder our physical and emotional well-being. With particular focus around rejection and loss.
I am a qualified Emotion Code and Reiki Practitioner and use my Physiotherapy skills as required to offer a sensitive treatment approach to assist the resolution of a number of physical and emotional conditions. I am also training as a Yoga Teacher and due to qualify at the end of 2019
I can offer The Emotion Code remotely over Skype or Zoom.
I am based in County Down, Northern Ireland and will consider domiciliary visits up to 45 minutes away from my home.
I combine the Emotion Code with Reiki to support the movement of energy and processing the release of the trapped emotions.
For more information please visit my website: michelleconnellholistictherapy.com
I am happy to arrange 20 minute free ‘taster’ sessions over Skype or Zoom to help people decide if my style and approach to these therapies will suit them.
With much love

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.

A Maternity Nurse, Birth & Postnatal Doula, and Certified Breastfeeding Support Specialist. I'm married and a proud mother of three wonderful daughters. As a married mother of three wonderful daughters, my journey into the world of maternal and infant care began with the profound changes motherhood brought.
Becoming a mother was the most positive and empowering experience of my life. It was during this time that I realised the profound importance of the support and care provided during pregnancy, birth, and postnatal. This realisation led me to become a Maternity Nurse and Birth & Postnatal Doula.
I'm passionate about supporting women to achieve a positive birth experience, which I believe is every woman's right. Women are amazing, and their bodies can do remarkable things. When women are supported in the right way and enabled to feel safe, secure, heard, and loved, childbirth can be an empowering and truly rewarding experience.
I am committed to providing unwavering support, guidance, and care to ensure that every individual I serve feels empowered and positive about their birthing and parenting journey. It's an honour to be part of this transformative period in the lives of families, and I look forward to supporting you on your unique path to parenthood.
At The Kente & Karing Doulas, we embrace tradition and love in our approach to maternal and infant care. It's an honour to be part of this transformative period in the lives of families, and I look forward to supporting you on your unique path to parenthood.

Being a mum in midlife I find that many fitness messages and influencers don’t speak to me at this stage of life. We’re fobbed off with one-size-fits-all solutions and the belief that we all want to have that bikini body or that we want to ‘get our pre-baby body back’. My mission is to show women that life is more than this and that we have to work and do things differently at each life stage. And, this isn’t just about exercise, but nutrition, habit forming, self-care and more!
My aim is to provide a full package that will positively impact my clients’ health and their lifestyle as a whole. I want them to leave me with a stronger healthier body, and a body that they can accept, and with a new found confidence.
I help through a mix of on and offline services - personal training, health coaching and Pilates.

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!
