Today, Kirsty is living the dream: travelling the world while making money from her laptop. But it wasn’t always this way. In fact, she never thought it would even be possible. She always wanted to write, but had no idea how to make money from it. She graduated from 3 of the UK’s top universities but she had no idea what she wanted to do. So, she went into teaching. Despite enjoying the positive effect she had on the lives of young people, she began to crave a creative outlet and her feet were itching. In an attempt to satiate her wanderlust, she began working in schools internationally. However, she became trapped in China during their zero-covid regime, enduring harsh lockdowns and being taken into centralized quarantine. Kirsty took this as a sign that something had to change. Once out of lockdown, she spent every waking moment educating herself on the possibilities of online work. The more she learned, the more she realised that she could make a living by selling her writing services online. Within 12 months, she had invested thousands in courses, spent hours poring over business books, listening to podcasts and working on her side-hustle. By the end of the year, she had replaced her previous income while working just a third of the hours. She booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. And from there, she travelled to Japan, Cambodia, Mexico, Guatemala, Spain and the UK. In 2023, in love with her new lifestyle and obsessed with sharing her newfound freedom, she decided to create The Empowered Copywriter Master Program. She wanted everyone to know that, if she could do it, so could they. In it, she teaches others how to build their copywriting side-hustle and escape the grind of a traditional 9-5 job. Whether that’s to travel the world, spend more time with family or simply pursue other interests! Her program promises results in 90 days or less with the comforting notion that students needn’t quit their current job in order to achieve great success.

Kristina Terzieva is a Reiki Master Teacher and founder of Astraea Healing Connection – a holistic health practice, which offers three energy healing modalities: Reiki, sound healing, and voice spectrum analysis. Kristina has 20 years of experience in working with Reiki as a form of energy healing. She has a long-standing interest in energy medicine and Hermetic philosophy, which has evolved over the years to become an integral part of her daily life. Motivated by a quest for self-discovery, she became interested in Hermetic philosophy in her late teens. In her twenties, she was introduced to Reiki and Tai Chi as forms of balancing the energy within the physical body and beyond. Throughout her life’s journey, she has explored different energy healing modalities, mostly as means of self-help, ranging from Essential Energy Balancing (developed by Diane Stein), through the Gateway Experience (pioneered by Robert Monroe), to shamanic journeying, incorporating aspects of astrology, as well as Soul Realignment, based on work with the Akashic Records (modality advanced by Andrrea Hess). In her life’s pursuits, Kristina remained true to her interest in energy healing and the desire to bring in harmony the above and the below – the world within her and around her. Currently, her focus remains Reiki energy and spreading the light through offering training and distance healing. In addition, Kristina has dedicated significant time and resources into sound healing and voice spectrum analysis – which tie together the above and the below – thus answering her initial quest for bringing into harmony body, mind, and soul. For Kristina, sound healing has proven to be another type of “universal medicine” – similar to Reiki, as well as a potent tool for inter-dimensional healing. Kristina N.

With a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and psychological toll of loss, Sabine specialises in guiding individuals through grief, helping them reclaim their health and vitality. Her journey into holistic healing began with a personal tragedy: the loss of her husband, Kevin, to acute myeloid leukemia. Inspired by the healing power of food, herbs, and yoga she witnessed during Kevin’s illness, Sabine remained steadfast in her belief in the body's innate capacity for healing after his death. As she navigated her own grief journey, Kundalini yoga became her anchor, leading her to become a certified yoga therapist, utilising movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and sound to support her own healing and that of others. Meanwhile, Sabine also obtained qualifications as a nutritionist and health coach, earning memberships in recognised professional organisations such as the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary & Healthcare Council (CNHC). Pursuing her passion for Ayurveda, Sabine decided to train as an Ayurvedic Digestive Health Coach in the US before embarking on a post-graduate qualification in Ayurveda at the Alma Mater Europe in Slovenia, deepening her understanding of the body-mind connection and expanding her toolkit of healing modalities with the ancient art of pulse diagnosis. Today, Sabine combines her expertise in Western nutrition, yoga therapy, and Ayurveda to offer a unique and holistic approach to healing from grief. Sabine is a sought-after speaker at health and bereavement events, a monthly contributor to the 'Feel Good Friday' show on Yowah Radio and a regular blog writer for AtaLoss. Through her dedicated work, she raises awareness of the profound impact of grief on mind and body, sharing insights into the link between emotional stress, nutrient deficiencies, and other post-loss imbalances. With warmth, compassion, and a deep commitment to empowering others, Sabine guides bereaved individuals towards a path of healing and renewal, helping them rediscover joy, purpose, and vitality in life after loss.

Pratiqk Jaani is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and creator of the Dhrasti Method, a transformational framework that explores how human conditioning shapes perception, emotions, behaviour, and ultimately the experience of life. Driven by a lifelong curiosity about why people experience the same situations so differently, Pratiqk embarked on an extensive journey of self-inquiry and exploration. Through years of personal study, business leadership, and transformational work, he developed a deeper understanding of the relationship between perception, learned conditioning, emotional responses, and human potential. This exploration led to the creation of the Dhrasti Method, a practical framework that helps individuals recognise how their internal lens influences every aspect of life, including stress, anxiety, confidence, relationships, leadership, wellbeing, and fulfilment. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, the method seeks to uncover the root mechanisms that shape human experience. Today, Pratiqk shares these insights through speaking engagements, podcasts, coaching programmes, corporate workshops, community talks, and immersive retreats. His mission is to help people develop greater awareness of their conditioning, reconnect with their authentic selves, and create lasting transformation from the inside out. He is also the author of Dhrasti: The Perception, a book that introduces the foundational principles of the Dhrasti Method and explores how conditioned perception shapes every aspect of human experience. Through its insights and practical reflections, readers are invited to understand themselves more deeply and discover a new way of relating to life. Through his work, Pratiqk continues to inspire individuals and organisations to move beyond limiting perceptions, cultivate deeper understanding, and unlock greater clarity, resilience, and freedom in their lives.

Linda Fraim on Shaping Romantic Relationships, Communication, Emotional Well-being, and Self-Awareness Linda Fraim on Shaping Romantic Relationships, Communication, Emotional Well-being, and Self-Awareness Born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1973 to an American father and a Turkish mother, Linda Fraim spent her childhood between Turkey and the United States. She is fluent in both English and Turkish. She initially pursued chemical engineering as a pre-med student before changing direction to psychology. After several years working as an international tour guide, her life changed dramatically following the 1999 Izmit earthquake, when she joined an Israeli search and rescue team as a translator and spent nearly a year working at the disaster site. The experience inspired her to return to academia. Linda went on to earn a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy, followed by a PhD in Clinical Health Psychology. During her training, she worked as an on-call sexual assault counselor while conducting pioneering research on breast cancer awareness among young adults in North Cyprus.
