Author: Emma Corrie I now run workshops, retreats, private sessions and breathing classes.  I share my knowledge I have gained and introduce exploration of dormant biological and mental potential. My workshops involve the understanding of the three pillars of the Wim Hof method; Breathing, Cold Exposure and Commitment and I do this by movement and changing your nature of consciousness. I share my experience in beautiful surroundings and nature itself will nudge you out of your comfort zone to call into question the unnecessary limits we self-impose upon ourselves daily.  Curious? I invite you all to join in the fun on my next workshop or contact me if you have any questions. Email: Emma@lakeshealthrevolution.com Facebook:  @emmaestre11a79 Instagram: @estre11a79

Gaz (Garry) Kishere is a Brit who comes from the South coast of England. He has been working in people caring contexts for the last 30 years, mostly in the sector of charities and NGO’s. Whilst having a desire to personally engage with issues considered to be frontline humanitarian work, it is behind the scenes that he has found the most opportunities to address needs, in helping important workers and volunteers to remain healthily engaged with difficult work and avoiding long recoveries associated with secondary trauma. Gaz is co founder of the counter human trafficking charity Cross Border Initiatives, which has adjusted its humanitarian mandate to include therapeutic support of frontline workers. Our experiences of childhood trauma often leads people to finding themselves in caring roles, unaware that they are sensitised to the needs of others, carriers of love and compassion, out of our own lack rather than our abundance. As such people doing good work, frequently run out of steam and hit a wall. Facebook @movingthewalls Website

Director of Pure Wellbeing Website: purewellbeing.ie/ Email: hello@purewellbeing.ie

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. You can find me here: Website: www.sarahwasser.com Instagram: @sarahwasserpt LindkedIn: @sarahwasser

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!
