Allison Lindsay (London, UK)

Business Psychologist, Coach, Breathworker and Embodied Facilitator (London, UK) at School for Wellbeing Ltd – Transformation through Purpose, Performance, Resilience.

I have over 25 years’ experience in the corporate world, working internationally across industries including aviation, energy, finance and pharma. I work with people at all levels of the corporate world, as well as running my own private coaching and breathwork practices.

I am passionate about helping people take ownership and become leaders of their own lives. I combine kindness with firm accountability to support my clients as they create real and lasting change in their lives and make the shifts in approach, behaviour or ways of thinking that will enable them to achieve their goals and dreams.

My approach combines traditional coaching methods with a range of embodiment techniques to uncover deep insights, and make optimum use of the power of both the body’s and the brain’s intelligence to increase awareness, build choice and find ways forward that are practical and sustainable long term.

My particular focus is on supporting my clients with stress, anxiety and burnout, confidence and skills building, work-life balance, and thriving through change.

Celynn Morin (London, UK; also France and South Africa)

Speaker, Wellbeing consultant, Dietician, Author

About me ….
Hi, I’m Celynn. A registered health practitioner, professional speaker and work place wellbeing consultant. I have lived most of my life in South Africa with my family heritage coming from the Champagne region in France. This is an important part of my identity and my speaking / coaching style as I embrace balance and joie de vivre as opposed to an all-or-nothing or puritanical approach to lifestyle management. I now live and work in the United Kingdom and spend a significant amount of my time travelling for both work and pleasure. I love salsa dancing, contact improvisation and have a longstanding daily meditation practice.

About my current work …
I work mostly with business leaders, entrepreneurs and their teams, sharing practical techniques and strategies on managing energy, health, performance and better resilience.
I work with a broad range of clients in diverse business sectors. I am eager to bring more embodied practices into organisations to deepen participants’ learning and behavioural change.

Due to a busy travel schedule, I work with select individuals doing one-on-one sessions, ideally as part of a longer term commitment rather than a once off engagement. I have a multi-disciplinary approach and will refer to a greater network when necessary.

About my previous work …
I worked as a private practicing dietician (focusing on diabetes, heart disease, digestive health, weight loss) before consulting to businesses on work place wellbeing. I have co-authored two books and have developed various science-backed frameworks such as Performance Chemistry, Wellculator and the FAB Quotient.

Certifications:
– Certified Embodied Facilitator (2018)
– Outperformer Speaker, Vistage UK (2018)
– Certified Speaking Professional (2017)
– Corporate wellbeing consultant (2008)
– Registered Dietician/ Nutritionist (2000)

A reference …
“As a speaker/facilitator I really think you are one of the best I have seen in four and a half years with Vistage: great content, very knowledgeable on your subject, great engagement in numerous different ways, very useful giveaways, slides and media of a very high standard and a great person too, who really lives your message.”

Chara Parmar (Kent, UK)

Coach, Facilitator, Senior Director

I’ve spent many years in corporate leadership roles and maintain a part-time role as a Senior Director alongside my Coaching & Consultancy practice. I found traditional coaching lacked a dimension, in that it fails to acknowledge the role that the body plays in shaping the mind. An embodied approach has brought depth and efficiency to my workshops and coaching practice.

Every body lives in a system, be it a workplace, a family, a relationship, society as a whole. I work with the body, the mind and the systems they live in, supporting clients with meaningful change that has a real impact on who they are and how they lead their lives.

Rachel Sparks (London, UK)
Dance Teacher and Embodiment Coach, London, UK

Integrating partner dancing with embodied coaching for people interested taking their learning beyond the dance floor and into their lives. As a Latin & Ballroom dance teacher working with individuals and couples I am increasingly curious about the relational dynamic and personal insight that emerges through dance as an embodied practice – this is what drew me to embark on EFC 2017. Having trained in dance all my life I graduated with Dance BA (Hons) at the University of Leeds in 2007. I diverted for about 6 years into mentoring and supporting young people and training helpline volunteers in the education and charity sector. Coming back to dance in 2012 I was not satisfied that ballroom dancing was fully accessible to the everyday person so started my own company – Rachel Sparks Dance. I am now bringing embodiment to ballroom dancing and visa versa with LGBTQ+ group classes and 1-2-1 private lessons and coaching sessions.

Steve Savides (Surrey, UK)

Embodied facilitator (Surrey, UK)

My passion is working with people on taking tangible steps, be that performance, or uncovering their desires or inhibitors, or building toward their dreams and goals. I focus on tools using embodiment and deep listening and awareness. My core values are: openness, trust, integrity and ethical consent. The main qualification that I use in any work I do is that of an Embodied Facilitator. I also draw on several other fields and disciplines as appropriate. If I can’t directly assist I will tell you and refer. This multi-faceted approach delivers better results in a shorter time frame. When you learn to deeply listen to yourself, and your body, that trusting awareness of your own wisdom, or the wisdom in a team, brings about the ability to make better choices, faster. I only ever focus on supporting a very small number clients – individuals or teams – on their journey of leadership, personal development, and health and wellbeing.  One to one sessions can be tailored for groups, community partnerships and corporate engagements. I also have an extensive network of contacts around the globe, developed over 20 years of working in my various fields, who can support my programs anywhere.

Stuart Harris (Wiltshire, UK)
Stuart Harris | Principle consultant and coach | Wiltshire, UK

At the age of 14 Stuart went on a French exchange stay with a family near Orléans, equipped with just the present tense and a willingness to listen and learn. Three weeks of intense immersion sharpened his listening skills and intuition, broadened his palate and established a life-long friendship. Since then he has learned several other languages and his career path has taken him through journalism, translation, market research, advertising, commissioned writing, facilitation and coaching.

His interest in personal development and change work was sparked by a series of international workshops based on the work of Carl Rogers, a major figure in Humanistic Psychology. He has since been involved in Bioenergetic Analysis (a form of body psychotherapy), Transactional Analysis, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy and Embodiment.

Terri McNerney (London, UK)
Executive Coach and Facilitator (London, UK)

Hi, I’m Terri McNerney, and I believe that you can lead technical change successfully when you know how to bring your people with you. When you align your leaders and teams to a common purpose and appreciate the different strengths that each person brings, then everyone understands how they can contribute and is eager to play their part.

Over the last 25 years I’ve helped business leaders to do this across a variety of sectors, including oil and gas, media, pharmaceutical, energy, telecommunications, engineering, hospitality, finance and IT. Through my specialist consultancy, Inspire the Best, I work with leaders to design change processes that deliver results, with each design tailored to meet your specific needs. I also offer workshops in Leading Successful Change and a 6 month and a 12 month programme to support senior leaders working through change. My years of practical experience are supported by an MSc in Organisational Change from Ashridge Business School, where I contributed to the Ashridge analysis of leading-edge change and consulting, published in ‘Organisational Consulting @ the edges of possibility’.

Prior to becoming an independent consultant, I worked on leading change in some of the world’s most complex and technologically sophisticated multinationals, such as BP/Amoco, ING and ConocoPhillips.

Pilar helps people to gain body, mind and emotions awareness through gentle & therapeutic yoga, embodiment, conscious movement and embodied yoga principles. Certified as an NLP coach.

She has had experience teaching yoga from children to senior citizens. Right now, She is teaching only adults privately and in groups.
Her approach to teaching yoga has never been soley focused on the physical aspect of yoga, but more on the emotional level.
The group of people she focused on teaching is our society’s more vulnerable, including: senior citizens, sex workers and victims of sex trafficking, unemployed and people that otherwise would not be able to attend or afford yoga classes.
Her aim is to allow people to be aware that their bodies can be felt like friends instead of enemies, and through embodying them they can access their potential, their patterns, aspects of their personality that can be used or polished consciously to have a better realtionship with themselves and to others.

Zoë Boston (Munich, Germany)

Zoë Boston | Coach and Shiatsu Practitioner

Following 12 years in the corporate and financial markets, which culminated in heading up a global sales team at the London and Milanese Stock Exchanges, I experienced my fair share of work and life related stress. In 2009 I made a complete change to my life, literally leaving behind all I was familiar with to set up a business in the health and wellness industry. Over a decade later I know this was the best decision of my life. 

I am currently working as a Transformational Life and Wellness Coach, passionate about natural health and living life with vitality. I thrive on helping people achieve a deep understanding of what they want, where they are going, and how they are going to get there. I help clients who are often used to using their heads to ‘work stuff out’ to connect back to themselves through the deeper wisdom in their body.  From this more grounded place I help clients integrate work and family life, work through emotional and physical stress and overwhelm and deal with anxiety, bringing a sense of wholeness and integration, clarity and space for joy.  I have worked with executives at all levels, as well as entrepreneurs, doctors and students.  I also work with parents and teenagers dealing with anxiety and overwhelm.

I am a mum to two vicarious girls and as such I have learnt how important it is to seek personal balance above all else!  I am a regular meditator, I speak English and Italian and am learning Geramn, I love to travel, have lived in 8 different countries and am currently residing in Munich, Germany with my family.

I offer sessions online, over the phone and in person.  The majority of my work is 121 but also offer group facilitations for companies and schools.
