Alena Elchaninova is a London-based ICF-certified life coach, multidisciplinary artist, and Pricing Director with an international career in commercial strategy. As a life coach, she works with high-functioning individuals who are often seen as capable, thoughtful, and self-aware – yet still find themselves caught in inner conflict, overthinking, or emotional patterns that quietly shape their lives. Her work integrates psychological depth, work with inner parts, mindfulness, and embodied self-inquiry to support a more honest relationship with the self – one that restores agency and leads to lasting change. Alongside her private coaching practice, Alena leads a corporate career in commercial strategy and pricing. This dual perspective allows her to translate insight into grounded, real-world action. She understands ambition, performance pressure, and complexity – and brings both rigour and sensitivity to her work. As an artist and photographer, she is drawn to nuance, detail, and the quiet language of beauty – a sensibility that shapes how she listens, what she notices, and how she helps clients see themselves more clearly.

Carly is an Advanced practitioner that has a holistic outlook when working with her clients. She is a Reiki Master & Energy Worker, Root-Cause Therapist, Kundalini Teacher, Advanced Remedial Massage Therapist (Myotherapist) / Body alignment specialist & Lymphatic Drainage Practitioner. Her main mission is to assist others in finding their own inner power & self-healing abilities so they can restore harmony, balance & peace both in their body & life.   She was drawn to bodywork practices over 20 years ago to help start the healing in her own physical body due to injuries as a result of competitive sport. This quickly turned into stepping on her own inner healing journey. For over a decade she has been working in the industry growing and furthering her scope in different healing modalities, all of which she has personally applied in her own practice & life. After working in the health industry for many years, her touch wanted to reach further and so founded Remedial Movement back in 2018. Her career has focused on chronic pain conditions, nervous system regulation, women’s health and complex alignment issues and she has now built a team around her that can support her drive for making a positive diffence in the world.   Through her own life challenges and self enquiry her philosophy on health has taken her on a quest to establish real causes of pain, why an individual holds onto it, and more importantly how the body, mind & spirit can shift and let it go. Her belief is that when healing is holistic, it provides the opportunity to survey the inner landscape with a different perspective where trapped pain from the physical body can ease or even dissolve making a positive difference to one's life moving forward. Learning to come back into one's heart space through the circumstances & difficulties that one can experience, will have a positive and life changing impact on them and those around them for the better.   From her past experiences and what is deemed societal norms, she is all too aware that for the most part, the left side of the brain dominates our society and to restore balance in both hemispheres we must connect with our intuitive, more feminine aspects so we can return to wholeness, within & without. Through her passion she understands the effort, dedication and commitment it takes to overcome fears and limiting beliefs so that goals, dreams and life paths can be met in a healthy and balanced way.

SheUltra ™: Empowering Women Through Endurance & Hope - An Inspiring Journey of Huw Williams SheUltra™ is not just an event; it’s a powerful movement that has transformed the lives of many women across the globe. Founded by Huw Williams, SheUltra™ stands as the world’s first female-only charity ultra-marathon. Held on the breathtaking Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales, SheUltra™️is a testament to resilience, empowerment, and community spirit. This long-form overview delves into the origins, mission, and impact of SheUltra™, as well as the inspiring journey of its founder, Huw Williams. The Visionary Founder: Huw Williams Huw Williams, a remarkable individual with an indomitable spirit, has turned his personal battle with inoperable stage 4 neuroendocrine cancer into a beacon of hope for many. Diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, Huw decided to channel his energy into creating something meaningful and transformative. His vision was to establish an event that not only celebrated female endurance but also provided support for women’s cancer charities. Despite living with cancer, Huw has shown extraordinary dedication and determination, turning SheUltra™️ into a symbol of strength and solidarity. The Birth of SheUltra™ SheUltra™ was born out of Huw’s desire to create an inclusive and supportive environment for women in endurance sports. Recognizing the challenges and obstacles that women often face in this field, Huw set out to design an event that catered specifically to their needs. From the very beginning, SheUltra ™ was envisioned as more than just an event; it was meant to be an empowering experience that celebrated the spirit of perseverance and camaraderie. Key Features of SheUltra™ One of the defining aspects of SheUltra™ is its commitment to inclusivity. Huw ensured that the event removed common barriers that might deter women from participating. Key features of SheUltra™️ include: No Cut-Offs only Smiles Unlike many endurance events that impose strict time limits, SheUltra™ allows participants to complete the race at their own pace. This approach encourages women of all abilities to take part without the pressure of time constraints. Option to Go Incognito Understanding that some participants may prefer privacy, SheUltra™ offers the option to go incognito. This means that women can choose to participate without their names being publicly listed, allowing them to focus on their personal journey without external pressures. All-Female Event Team To create a supportive and relatable environment, SheUltra™ is organized and managed by an all-female event team. This not only fosters a sense of community but also ensures that the unique needs and concerns of female participants are addressed. The Event Itself Held on the stunning Llŷn Peninsula, SheUltra™ offers a challenging yet beautiful course that showcases the natural beauty of North Wales. The route takes participants through diverse terrains, from rugged coastal paths to serene countryside trails. Along the way, participants are supported by enthusiastic volunteers and fellow runners, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. Impact and Achievements Since its inception, SheUltra™ has achieved remarkable success, both in terms of participation and fundraising. The event has attracted women from all walks of life, each with their own unique story and motivation for taking part. Beyond the physical challenge, SheUltra™️ has become a platform for raising awareness and funds for women’s cancer charities. The funds raised through SheUltra™ have provided vital support for research, treatment, and patient care, making a significant impact on the lives of many women and their families. Personal Stories of Inspiration SheUltra™ is replete with stories of inspiration and triumph. From cancer survivors who have completed the event to honor their journey, to women who have found newfound confidence and strength through participation, the event has touched countless lives. These personal stories underscore the transformative power of endurance sports and the importance of community support.
