Meet Beatrix, called Bri. A multi-disciplinary visionary, a leader in FieldSpeak Mentor Services. Her life, woven from threads of design, through art, photography and videography, is a living tapestry of what it means to be fiercely present, boldly alive, and contagiously collaborative. An unshakable fire lit her: a passion to explore what lies beyond the physical, beyond the scripted illusions of limitation. Her life is a testament to what’s possible when we step beyond the veil into the raw, potent flow of our true, collective, and individual ignited potential. Bri has danced in both the shadows of unfulfilled potential and the ecstasy of an intimate, visionary life. These contrasts became her compass, awakening her to a profound calling: to help others remember what it is like to be fully alive. To be connected. To collaborate with the vast, mysterious system we are all part of. Devotional obsession with EpiEnergetics, quantum physics, sacred geometry, art, consciousness, and technology creates an outcome of extraordinary. She offers FieldSpeak mentor sessions, experiences that cut through the noise, conditioning, and old stories we’ve been told about who we are and what life should be. In one-on-one or group settings, this unique approach helps people see the gap between the life they think they’re living and the one their energetics are creating with their participation. Nothing extraordinary comes from comfort. Truth is a different path. Authentic living is a gem in a world that’s calling for something so much bigger. When that gap becomes clear, so does the choice: to stop running outdated patterns and start taking full responsibility for our choices, our lives, and our impact on others. This isn’t a typical bio. It’s an invitation. A glimpse into the texture of a life lived with eyes wide open, beyond titles and achievements. A call to remember what’s real, share human values, and create collaborations that ripple far beyond ourselves. Welcome to the World Bri is engaging with. Expect the unreasonable with extraordinary results.

Dr. Katie Simons, PharmD, BCPS, CCHT, is the creator and driving force behind The Holistic Apothec, a space dedicated to guiding people through deep personal transformation using the science and art of altered states of consciousness. Her work draws from an uncommon blend of clinical expertise in medications and adult medicine, transpersonal hypnotherapy, psychedelic facilitation, and somatic healing, offering a multifaceted approach to healing and growth.   Katie’s path has been anything but conventional. For years, she balanced two contrasting lives, one built on a medical career at an academic teaching center, the other rooted in counterculture, adventure, and psychedelic exploration. Outwardly, she had achieved every milestone of success; inwardly, she battled exhaustion, anxiety, and depression.   The turning point came through a convergence of burnout, personal upheaval, and the decision to step away from the career and life she had built. In that space, she committed to using her expertise to create meaningful, lasting transformation for those she serves. Returning to plant medicines and holistic healing practices with renewed purpose, she sought insight and truth.   Along the way, she expanded her training to include Reiki energy healing, shamanic practices, somatic breathwork, integrative somatic trauma therapies, emotional freedom technique, bilateral stimulation, regression therapy, and hypnotherapy—continually refining the tools she uses to help others reclaim themselves. These experiences shaped her core philosophy: We are all our own best healers, the path is remembrance.   Today, The Holistic Apothec offers programs designed to help people regulate their nervous systems, release old patterns, and recover their inner authority. Whether guiding someone through a medication taper, holding space in ceremony, or facilitating deep inner work, Katie’s approach bridges grounded science with expansive spiritual perspective, supporting clients in reclaiming their empowered wholeness.

Dr. Haifa Hamdi is a research scientist, holistic nutritionist, and author whose life and career bring together science, creativity, and a deep commitment to wellness. After earning her Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of South Paris in 2006, she built her career across leading institutions, including the Institute for Medical Immunology in Belgium, INSERM in France, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Having lived on three different continents, Africa, Europe, and North America, she brings a uniquely global perspective to her work. Her research has resulted in more than 15 publications and nearly 2,000 citations, with expertise spanning lung cancer therapies, immune tolerance, and innovative approaches to latent tuberculosis testing. Along the way, she also contributed to the development of one of the most advanced modern treatments, cell therapy, helping to move cutting-edge science from the laboratory toward life-changing therapies for patients. From a young age, Dr. Hamdi was a storyteller and artist, painting and creating characters so vivid that her siblings believed they were real. These stories and artworks became cherished family treasures, held privately for many years. Today, she shares this passion more widely, using her creative voice to inspire others and to make health education accessible and inspiring. By merging her lifelong talents in storytelling and illustration with her scientific knowledge, she bridges two worlds that rarely meet: rigorous research and imaginative communication. Certified in holistic nutrition, Dr. Hamdi empowers families to embrace healthier lifestyles and to see wellness as something joyful rather than restrictive. Her latest children’s book, The Secret of Sugarland: Join the Sweet Rangers(2025), transforms nutrition into a magical adventure, showing children that healthy choices can be both empowering and fun, delivered with no lectures, only imagination and play. Looking ahead, she is expanding her impact by collaborating on innovative treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and by creating supportive programs for parents raising children with digestive health challenges. By combining her scientific contributions, her multicultural experiences, and her creative gifts of storytelling and painting, Dr. Hamdi stands as a voice of authority and inspiration.

Along the way, she also contributed to the development of one of the most advanced modern treatments, cell therapy, helping to move cutting-edge science from the laboratory toward life-changing therapies for patients. From a young age, Dr. Hamdi was a storyteller and artist, painting and creating characters so vivid that her siblings believed they were real. These stories and artworks became cherished family treasures, held privately for many years. Today, she shares this passion more widely, using her creative voice to inspire others and to make health education accessible and inspiring. By merging her lifelong talents in storytelling and illustration with her scientific knowledge, she bridges two worlds that rarely meet: rigorous research and imaginative communication. Certified in holistic nutrition, Dr. Hamdi empowers families to embrace healthier lifestyles and to see wellness as something joyful rather than restrictive. Her latest children’s book, The Secret of Sugarland: Join the Sweet Rangers(2025), transforms nutrition into a magical adventure, showing children that healthy choices can be both empowering and fun, delivered with no lectures, only imagination and play. Looking ahead, she is expanding her impact by collaborating on innovative treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and by creating supportive programs for parents raising children with digestive health challenges. By combining her scientific contributions, her multicultural experiences, and her creative gifts of storytelling and painting, Dr. Hamdi stands as a voice of authority and inspiration. Her mission is to help both children and adults around the world see health not as a burden, but as an empowering, creative, and joyful journey.

Pierre-Paul Couronne is driven by a single conviction: technology should uplift people, not discard them. Acting on that belief, he created Humans Of Tomorrow™—a Canadian non-profit devoted to individuals whose jobs have vanished or evolved because of artificial intelligence. Humans Of Tomorrow delivers a full ladder of support: counselling to navigate sudden career upheaval, intensive reskilling programs in tech-aligned fields, and a growing employer network that places beneficiaries into sustainable, future-proof roles.   To keep Humans Of Tomorrow nimble and fully informed by real-world best practices, Pierre-Paul allocates part of his time to C&J AI Consultations, a specialized consulting firm that installs low-code AI workflows inside small and mid-sized businesses. The firm converts “AI hype” into measurable wins—cutting repetitive work, sharpening decision-making, and freeing up capital that clients often choose to reinvest in people. Insights gained on the consulting floor flow straight back into HoT’s curricula, ensuring trainees master the tools employers are actually deploying.   Before dedicating himself to social impact and AI strategy, Pierre-Paul spent a decade steering performance-marketing campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and content marketing. His campaigns routinely outperformed industry benchmarks, and his knack for data storytelling earned speaking slots at digital-marketing podcasts.   Whether building an empathetic chatbot or mentoring displaced workers, he champions a hopeful, human-first tech future—and invites you to be part of it.

From my earliest moment of memory, I have always wanted to be the best I can be, in all aspects of my life. Having to work hard to achieve, vs being naturally gifted, hard work was engrained into me from the beginning. Be that at school, on the Moto X track, or whilst playing American Football (representing the UK at one point), hard work always saw me achieve beyond my actual capabilities. The ultimate achievements obtained by hard work being a 1st class Honours degree in Accountancy & Finance,, going on to becoming a member (now Fellow) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, being awarded 4 world prizes by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries & Administrators on the way to membership, becoming a central equity partner at one of the best private Accountancy Firms in the UK, to being awarded an Honorary Degree for services rendered by the University Of Lincoln. Working in the hay fields with my Dad as a 7 year old, or in the Ice Cream Factory at 3am, the joy of work, the ecstasy of achievement of tasks always inspire me to look for more. Today, as a successful CEO of a couple of Global Brands, my search for personal growth is relentless. Seeking to always find people who I can learn from, with the mantra of "I know that I don't know what I don't know" and a healthy level of curiosity & scepticism, my journey to understand myself is a moment by moment ongoing practice. Fortunate enough along the way to have been able to meet, befriend and learn from many exceptional & extraordinary people, I have been blessed to be exposed to many cutting edge self development opportunities, in the business world, in the self development world, in the sporting arena, and in daily life. What I do know is that I will seek to grow personally every day of my life. If that growth & that journey helps inspire others to undertake their own journey of self discovery, then that is the cherry on the cake. My life mission is to be the very best I can be, and through my journey, meet and learn from others, and hopefully inspire others to do the same for themselves.
