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.

Morgana Lakatos-Hayward is a former 2x World Latin Champion with over 20 years of a highly competitive dancing background. Her struggles with dieting and weight loss, resulting in eating disorders, body dysmorphia, adenomyosis, and weight gain, were the primary fuel which prompted her career change over to health coaching. Upon getting certified at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, she opened her virtual health coaching practice, This Isn't a Diet, which operates in the women's health space to challenge diet culture and teach women about their bodies, intuitive and non-restrictive eating, as well as three important pillars: Hormonal health, gut health and blood sugar balancing. Through her own experience, as well as seeing results in the numerous women she has worked with, she built a philosophy around non-restrictive bio individual eating, which entails that everyone's body requires different foods and nutrients to thrive. Morgana also centers her work around maintaining balance through the body's various systems to combat symptoms and find the root cause of problems her clients come to her with. She furthered her reach by starting her podcast, Listen to This When You're Done Dieting, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Her new book, Read This When You're Done Dieting, will shortly be released and details her philosophy surrounding weight loss and women's health. Morgana's mission is to empower women to ditch diet culture and take back their power to reach their body goals without dieting. Through this, she has seen happier and healthier women who have reached their goals and are more educated about their own unique bodies so they can continue to make the right choices for themselves.

Chantelle Dantu transforms high-achieving women from secret imposters to unstoppable leaders in male-dominated industries. As a certified Jungian Depth Coach with an Executive MBA and NLP certification, she uniquely understands the invisible barriers that keep successful women playing small. While trained in multiple modalities, she leans into Jungian psychology because it addresses the unconscious patterns that create lasting transformation. Growing up as the youngest in a blended family of seven children, Chantelle learned early that standing out was essential for survival. These motivations served her well in the corporate automotive world, where she climbed the ladder and achieved external success. But even earning her Executive MBA (something she struggled through while feeling "not good enough") didn't provide the validation she craved. The pivotal moment came during her coaching studies when she realized in a single session that she had inherited these behaviors. This awareness shook her to her core, revealing how unconscious patterns drive our professional lives. Through her transformative UNINHIBITED program, Chantelle guides female executives beyond surface-level confidence-building to profound inner transformation. Using powerful Jungian techniques, including active imagination, shadow work, and archetypal exploration, she helps women break free from inherited patterns and move beyond the need for constant external approval. Her mission is clear: to help every possible female executive, business owner, and leader realize she doesn't need to fight for a seat at the table because she had one all along. This isn't about changing who they are; it's about removing the internal barriers that prevent their natural brilliance from shining.Chantelle's clients experience profound shifts: from second-guessing every decision to trusting their deep wisdom, from exhausting performance to aligned leadership, from seeking approval to owning their inherent worth. Her work radiates beyond the boardroom, transforming how women show up in every aspect of their lives. Based in South Africa, Chantelle continues to operate as a business owner in the automotive industry while working with female leaders globally, helping them live and lead uninhibited by unleashing the unshakeable confidence that was always theirs. Her approach combines the depth of Jungian psychology with practical business acumen, creating lasting transformation that goes far beyond traditional coaching. When external success meets inner freedom, extraordinary leadership and profound life fulfillment emerge naturally.

As a certified Jungian Depth Coach with an Executive MBA and NLP certification, she uniquely understands the invisible barriers that keep successful women playing small. While trained in multiple modalities, she leans into Jungian psychology because it addresses the unconscious patterns that create lasting transformation. Growing up as the youngest in a blended family of seven children, Chantelle learned early that standing out was essential for survival. These motivations served her well in the corporate automotive world, where she climbed the ladder and achieved external success. But even earning her Executive MBA (something she struggled through while feeling "not good enough") didn't provide the validation she craved. The pivotal moment came during her coaching studies when she realized in a single session that she had inherited these behaviors. This awareness shook her to her core, revealing how unconscious patterns drive our professional lives. Through her transformative UNINHIBITED program, Chantelle guides female executives beyond surface-level confidence-building to profound inner transformation. Using powerful Jungian techniques, including active imagination, shadow work, and archetypal exploration, she helps women break free from inherited patterns and move beyond the need for constant external approval. Her mission is clear: to help every possible female executive, business owner, and leader realize she doesn't need to fight for a seat at the table because she had one all along. This isn't about changing who they are; it's about removing the internal barriers that prevent their natural brilliance from shining.Chantelle's clients experience profound shifts: from second-guessing every decision to trusting their deep wisdom, from exhausting performance to aligned leadership, from seeking approval to owning their inherent worth. Her work radiates beyond the boardroom, transforming how women show up in every aspect of their lives. Based in South Africa, Chantelle continues to operate as a business owner in the automotive industry while working with female leaders globally, helping them live and lead uninhibited by unleashing the unshakeable confidence that was always theirs. Her approach combines the depth of Jungian psychology with practical business acumen, creating lasting transformation that goes far beyond traditional coaching. When external success meets inner freedom, extraordinary leadership and profound life fulfillment emerge naturally.

My name is Momodou Cham, and I was born in South London. I am 29 years old. From as far back as I can remember, all I ever wanted was to become a professional footballer. Growing up, I idolized Michael Owen from Liverpool—he was my hero, my inspiration. As a small, fast boy, I saw myself in him. I vividly remember the first time my dad took me to the park to play football with a rainbow-colored ball. That was the day he discovered I was left-footed, and those moments quickly became the highlight of my days. As I grew up in South London, I began picking up bad habits and getting caught up in street life. I started fighting, stealing, and staying out late despite being very young. Fearing for my safety, my parents decided to send me to Africa. That marked the beginning of a period where I moved from home to home. I was a troubled kid, unknowingly searching for acceptance and love. My parents traveled often, so I didn’t live with them for long stretches. When I returned to London, I promised myself I would take my football dreams seriously and strive to be the best version of myself. But I was a product of my environment. My days were chaotic: I’d go to school in the morning, ditch classes with friends to shoplift and cause trouble, then head to football training at 6 p.m. After training, I’d find my friends again and stay out until 11 p.m. My life felt like a cycle of distractions. By this time, my parents had moved to Norway and started building a more stable life. But I didn’t want to join them—I had my life in London. That changed when I was seriously injured by gang members after my friends and I had unfortunately stolen from them. For my mother, this was the last straw, and I was sent to Norway. For the first time in years, I was living with my parents. But as a young boy craving love and acceptance, my relationship with my father was strained, and it broke me. Moving to Norway at 14 was tough. A new country, a new language, and unfamiliar people left me feeling depressed. I hated it there and even lost my passion for football. I took a break from the sport, started a new school, and eventually made friends who were more sports-oriented. My older brother, a coach at a local football club, convinced me to join his team to rekindle my love for the game. Joining the team was transformative. I became the best player on the team and started remembering why I fell in love with football. My brother pushed me hard—he refused to let me feel comfortable, even when I performed well. At the time, I didn’t understand his tough love, but now I realize it shaped me. I was stubborn and determined not to let him see me fail. After a year, I was scouted by a club with better resources and opportunities to become a professional player. I surrounded myself with like-minded friends who shared my ambitions. I was motivated, hungry, and happy. However, I still struggled with my relationship with my father. At home, I felt unloved and unappreciated, which was a heavy burden on my heart. By the age of 18, many of my friends were signing professional contracts. I felt impatient and frustrated, convinced I was as good—or better—than some of them. This frustration led me to dive into the mental side of the game. I started reading, watching Eric Thomas’s "Thank God It’s Monday" series, and staying consistent even when success seemed out of reach. Two years later, I signed my first professional contract. That first contract took me to a new country and city—Finland. Despite the fear of stepping into the unknown, I embraced the opportunity. By this time, I had endured so much pain and hardship that taking risks felt second nature. Over the years, I played in Finland, Sweden, Norway, and back in Sweden. At 24, I suffered a severe injury on the pitch, damaging my right hip. It took three months before I could play again. My dream of making it to the biggest stages in Europe made me impatient, so I returned to play before my hip was fully healed. For the next three years, I played through the pain. During this time, I studied sports psychology at university while continuing my football career. In 2022, I received life-changing news. Scans revealed that my hip joint was severely bruised, and I was diagnosed with secondary arthritis caused by trauma. I needed a hip replacement and could no longer continue playing football. This was the most challenging period of my life. I struggled mentally, battled depression, and relied on sleeping pills. Without football, I felt lost. But I knew I had to make a choice—for myself and my family. I decided to channel my experiences into helping others. I founded my own mental performance company, Champset, which stands for "Champion’s Mindset." The name embodies my journey and how I view myself. The emptiness left by the end of my playing career needed to be filled, and I promised to help athletes achieve their dreams and navigate setbacks just as I had. Today, I work with athletes of all ages and levels. I also share my story with leaders, business owners, and athletes, inspiring them to persevere and succeed. My journey is a testament to resilience, growth, and the relentless pursuit of a better future.
