Bridgette Hamilton

My name is Bridgette Hamilton and I’ve been a complementary therapist for 20 years. This has given me a deep understanding of our physiology, especially the role our nervous system plays in our behaviour and how we feel in our own skin. I also studied nutrition and diet at the same time and have kept a special interest in it ever since. 10 years ago I got a diploma in hypnotherapy, which rounded out my understanding of how we ‘tick’ even further. I was, and still am, especially interested in our relationship to food and particularly sugar, and the role it plays in our bodies. Over the last 10 years I have done a large amount of research into the fine balance in out bodies’ ecology, and how to regain that when it becomes out of balance, resulting in addictive urges with food, and especially sugar (I must point out that processed carbohydrates are also in this category, and they are turned into simple sugars by the body). I love helping women uncover simple facts about themselves that empower them to make extremely powerful decisions concerning their food and subsequently their bodies. The simple fact is…we are NOT weak willed, greedy, de-motivated or somehow unable to ‘stick to a diet’…we are simply at the mercy of our body chemistry, and so therefore can gently regain control once we have this understanding about ourselves. I believe that there is a very simple formula for enjoying  good health, by enjoying foods that enable the body to connect back to its own fat burning system. This has a wonderful ‘knock on’ effect of helping women (and men!) to feel wonderfully powerful, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally too, leading them to enjoy a strong body and a life free from diets. It is, and always will be, a constant source of pleasure for me to see this understanding unfold for the women I help.

Connie-Lee Bennett (France)

Connie-Lee Bennett is the fabulous founder of Meraki Therapy. Meraki is Greek and it means doing some-thing from the soul. This is central to her approach.

She is passionate about inspiring people to awaken to and live who they truly are. When she was at university she went to the movies in her Pyjamas and her friends kept on saying to her, “Connie there is clearly nothing that you won’t do. You don’t seem to care what others think of you at all”. This is when she realised that her outward confidence was just a mask. Her nonchalance covered her deep insecurities about wanting to be accepted, so had created her own belief system; “If I appear more confident, people will like me”. Since starting her journey of awakening she has learnt not to be so hard on herself and no longer tries to be who other people expect her to be and is finding this a lot less tiring way to live!

Connie often asks her clients, “Who are YOU?” because it’s not a question most people feel comfortable answering. At the heart of her therapy she helps people to rediscover their answers to this questions. She helps people discover the masks they have been wearing their whole lives and how to start living without them, knowing that they are now living their truth.

Derek Mills

The son of Jamaican immigrants, Derek was born in Birmingham in 1965.  He grew up happily there with his six brothers and sisters, until the age of 13, when his mother died. This plunged him into the world of a stutterer.

Throughout his 20’s and 30’s, far from being successful Derek had great financial challenges and debt. His situation became dire, and at one point his family home was moments away from being repossessed by the bank. He was working long hours and this kept him away from his family. 

By the end of 2003, in a moment of despair, Derek discovered a way to live his life differently. Out of this came a unique approach that changed everything, irrevocably. Over the next four years he turned his life and business around, made his first million and people began to ask him how he did it.

Derek is the author of The 10 Second Philosophy® published by Hay House. Using the power of TrueSelf and the utilization of Standards instead of goals to achieve happiness and success, Derek is invited to speak internationally and to coach and advise others.

Derek is the creator and power behind the Standards Revolution™, through which he shares his philosophy of living by Daily Standards™. If you have ever set goals and not achieved them, then Daily Standards™ are the missing link to your happiness and success. If you have never set goals then Standards is an alternative way to live the life of your dreams.

Elaine’s second book – ‘Another Twinkle in the Eye’ (CRC Press, 2015) is a guide for parents who are considering another baby after a previous perinatal mental illness and ideas for how healthcare professionals can support them. Testimonials report that her first book continues to save lives and her second is helping to create new lives. Elaine’s passion and expertise is around mental health and the need for self-care. This can be around the perinatal (antenatal and postnatal) period relevant to families and also generic awareness of mental health within our professional and personal lives. Her overall message is positive and of hope for anyone facing, or affected by, mental health challenges. She aims to inspire people to make a difference in their own and the lives of others so that more eyes can regain their sparkle and delight in life, as she has done.

Heather Cowen

I have been described as a social artist, a muse, an alchemist and as a sense organ, a psychic and a sensitive, an x-men and an angel …and recently was happy being identified as a CFMW*! …something about a miracle worker….? Is it possible that you are too? My background is wide … from music to food, energy work to coppersmith, tour guide and workshop facilitator, funeral celebrant and ghost buster, I have been a seeker and a questioner all of this and many other lives? And I have always been squirmingly reluctant to classify or have myself contained into any one category and that is what I would invite for you… without the squirm! What if you were more than what you or others have repeatedly told you? What then?  What else is possible? These days I choose to live beyond definition and beyond the resistance to definition… Using the pragmatic and revolutionary tools of Access Consciousness I know that it is possible to live from question rather than conclusion and invite more of the infinite possibilities of a benevolent universe to be a co-creator with me. What if we each could open to live beyond the limitations of our past attitudes and structures and be the impulse that literally creates a world in which all may thrive beyond our imaginations? It is a joy to facilitate classes around the UK and the wider world that introduce more people to the tools of creating greater consciousness. The Access Bars and Access energetic Body Processes as well as half day workshops creating Communion and ease with bodies is a joy!

Holly Hinton (Crystal Therapy)

Holly has a BSc in Earth Sciences, but she believes in the healing properties of crystals. Her clients are almost all female, but she spent her teens enjoying the male-dominated world of the Australian AIRTC – and loved every minute!

She is loud and proud when it comes to shouting about what she believes in, but she can hold space for a client to express their feelings.

Her current home in rural England is a far cry from my upbringing in suburban Australia. But here’s the thing. We all have contradictions in our lives and it’s this duality that makes us interesting. It gives us depth and experience to call on; it makes us capable of tackling anything. And this is why she does what she does. All you really need to know is that she is passionate about helping women become who they are meant to be. She helps them achieve their potential no matter what that looks like and no matter what obstacles have been put in their way in the past – either by others or themselves.

Jason Sewell

Turtle Lodge Healing came about through Jason’s own interest and love of alternative healing practices such as Sweat Lodges and Tai Chi. Our vision is to make these authentic practices accessible to all to bring healing and a greater level of cohesion to our communities In late 2016 Jason started to have the vision of some form of Spiritual and Wellbeing Festival, but was unsure of the venue. Then Charles a Director at Ransom Wood where we had started running the Sweat Lodges came to me and said that he had been inspired to call the new conference Centre the 5 Elements Suite and named each room and themed it around the elements. He knew straight away that this must be the place and eventually told Charles who was delighted to have the Turtle Lodge Festival at Ransom Wood. The first Festival ran last year 2017 and was a great success having rave reviews from public and practitioners. “It was a lovely day in a beautiful setting with lots of amazing people. You have set the bar really, really high…. Well done!”

Jurga Proudlove

Jurga came into the fitness, health and wellness industry after a complete career change and after spending nearly 10 years as a full-time Mum to her three children. She’s always been an active person, participating in exercising on and off throughout my life. During her two pregnancies (the second time she had twins!) she got particularly interested in weight loss and healthy lifestyle, healthy eating and effects of poor diet on all of us and especially young children.

Then in 2008 her husband was diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease – Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s) and this came as a total shock as they were already leading quite a healthy lifestyle. His condition was affected by numerous factors, which made her realise that you have to think about more than just diet and exercise to look after yourself properly.

Soon she realised that going beyond government guidelines and media headlines, to looking at health and fitness holistically including the mindset, our established habits and natural remedies, is essential.

Her passion now is talking and educating people about proper nourishment of the body, daily physical activities, natural and alternative cancer treatments, pure and potent essential oils and other natural remedies.

If she can help another person to be in less pain and distress by sharing my knowledge, then that’s so worthwhile and satisfying on so many levels. For her sharing is caring in more ways than one.

Jury has a burning desire to help as many people as I can to become healthier, slimmer, fitter and overall happier with themselves.

Lisa Spencer-Arnell

I am The Treasure Seeker and I work with leaders, teams and organisations to find their treasure – it’s on the inside.  I was commissioned to co-author the book Emotional Intelligence Coaching in 2007 by Kogan Page and it was nominated for the Goldsmith Sachs Business Book of the Year Award in 2008.  I’ve also co-authored Who Stole My Success & Confidence for Kids by Kids.  My mission has 5 key elements to it:-

1. If I could do anything, I’d change the energy from fear to love in organisations
2. If I could give everyone a gift on this planet it would be to know their values, who they really are
3. If I could right one wrong it would be for people to know that they’re ‘enough’
4. If I could help everyone develop a skill it would be to understand, manage and express their emotions
5. I’d also help people to reconnect to their heart – too many people are operating purely from their left lobe of the pre-frontal cortex – a fraction of who they are

I’m currently working on my next book Be You – are you BRAVE enough? And all the proceeds will go to the charity I’m currently setting up – The Peter Spencer Youth Foundation – in memory of my dad who did so much for young people.  The aim of the charity is to support emotional wellbeing & development in schools/families with the big vision of creating a new pathway for education. www.lisaspencerarnell.com

Nichola Friel

Having been involved in a serious motor vehicle accident and, as a result, battling with neck and back ache for the next 17 years, Nichola came across Body Stress Release (BSR).

After trying many different modalities, this was the technique that worked for her. Due to the phenomenal results, she decided to study to become a Body Stress Release Practitioner in 2012 at the Body Stress Release Academy in South Africa where the system originates from.

Once qualified, Nichola set up her practice in Johannesburg and built up a very successful practice. She had many clients that visited her each month without fail as they experienced such relief and well-being from BSR. After visiting family in the UK with her son, Nichola decided that it was time for a new adventure. January 2016 Nichola arrived and settled in London where she set up her practice which was growing nicely, but due to family commitments, Nichola moved to Sandbach in Cheshire on the 1st August 2017.

Since her arrival she has taken part in the Holistics and Mystics Fair in Sandbach, and has also been a guest on Chrisoula’s Health and Healing Show on RedShift Radio.

Richard Ashworth

Richard Ashworth’s work has been highlighted many times in the media but he is probably best known for introducing authentic Chinese Imperial Feng Shui to BBC tv’s Housebusters and for his book The Feng Shui Diaries which, apart from anything else, may be the funniest book written on the subject to date. He is internationally famous for his ground breaking transformational work with the ba zi or Four Pillars of Destiny, otherwise misleadingly known as the Chinese Horoscope. Press has included the Guardian Diary, Spirit and Destiny, Art and Architecture, Elle Decoration and 25 Beautiful Homes. He has worked with A-Listers such as Gillian Anderson of the X-Files (who said he “commands both confidence and awe”) and professionals like Britain’s favourite Interior Designer and newest Dragon Kelly Hoppen (Click here) and he has been the subject of the Sunday Times feature ‘A Life in the Day’. His poignant, informative and often very funny online diaries are available free from this website. In the summer of 2010 on TV’s Big Brother’s Little Brother he gave his view that the Big Brother houses were “the dark side of feng shui.”

Richard learned authentic feng shui by studying with a series of masters over a period of decades. 

Along the way he has worked with corporations, architectural practices, entrepreneurs and in government departments but his daily task remains “going in and out of people’s houses being enigmatic.”

“What I’m interested in is leaving people happier than I found them.”
