Bilyana Wharton is an integrative psychotherapist and hypnotherapist specialising in trauma recovery and relational issues. Bulgarian born, raised during the best years of the Communist Era only to witness and live through the destruction of the system, economics, state organisation, ideology, and life as it was. Bilyana graduated from her Alma Mater, the University St Climent Ohridski of Sofia, Bulgaria in 1993 with a Master’s Degree in Primary School Pedagogics and Specialisation in Music. After a short career as a music teacher, she changed direction by becoming a professional musician playing piano and singing. For almost a decade, she travelled the world, working and living in different countries and cultures. The journeys brought immense insight of how culture can impact an individual’s belief system and behaviours. She became a keen observer of relational dynamics and interpersonal communication. The natural progression was to train as a psychotherapist, a dream she followed through with, once settled in the UK. The choice of training with Chrysalis Courses UK was influenced by her interest in integrative psychotherapy and her personal belief that therapy is an art of soulful transformation and as any art, it requires knowledge in different styles and techniques. At the time of her graduation in 2013, she had already undergone additional training with HOPE organisation in working with survivors of sexual abuse. The next step was becoming an independent hypnotherapist for Anxiety UK, a partnership that continued for two and a half years before she embarked on developing her private psychotherapy practice. Today, Bilyana works with individual clients and couples holding sessions in person or online in the beautiful settings of her home. Truly, being a therapist is not a profession but a part of her identity. Bilyana is happily married with two grown up children, 4 dogs, 2 cats, 50 sheep and 23 chickens living blissfully together in their small-holding in rural North Yorkshire. She is an imaginative cook, interested in fusion cuisine and passionate about healthy eating and living. Deeply connected to nature, art, and music, practicing yoga and swimming, Bilyana cherishes the joy and calm of life and strives to reignite aliveness in each person she works with.

Anika Kumar Vashishth is a Positive Psychology Practitioner whose work explores a question at the heart of wellbeing: what enables people not merely to function, but to flourish? With a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Melbourne, certification in Positive Education, and over a decade of practitioner experience, Anika has worked with schools, educators, parents, children, and families to cultivate environments where wellbeing can thrive. Grounded in positive psychology and neuroscience, her work spans one-to-one practice, group programmes, parent and educator workshops, mindfulness-based experiences, and wellbeing retreats. She is also a contributing co-author to a collective book, where she wrote about nervous system regulation and wellbeing. Anika is the founder of I AM ENOUGH | FLOURISH, a community inspired by the philosophy of Purna—a Sanskrit concept of wholeness and completeness. It reflects a belief central to her work: rather than approaching ourselves as something to be fixed, we can learn to recognise and draw upon the strengths, capacities, and inner resources already within us. Mindfulness is woven throughout her practice, supporting presence, awareness, and deeper connection with ourselves and others. Inspired by Christopher Peterson’s principle that “other people matter,” Anika also sees relationships and community as fundamental to flourishing. Her work brings together science, practice, and the philosophy of Purna to make wellbeing meaningful in everyday life—creating conditions in which individuals, families, schools, and communities can move beyond simply functioning towards flourishing.

Linn Angell is an intuitive educator, writer, and founder of 144 Education NGO, working at the intersection of education, conscious living, and human transformation. Her work focuses on creating more compassionate and human-centered approaches to learning, leadership, and aligned creation for the New Generation. She holds bachelor’s degrees in Teaching and Social Anthropology and Psychology, and is currently completing a Master’s degree in Leadership in Education. Through advanced studies in higher-consciousness teaching and learning and through her visions, she developed the Pedagogic Meditation framework - a methodology integrating presence, visualization, breathing techniques, and heart-centered learning into modern education. After years of classroom experience, Linn became increasingly aware of the growing disconnection many students experience from creativity, motivation, emotional wellbeing, and inner purpose. This led to her long-term vision of helping co-create a new educational model - 144 Education, designed to support both academic growth and human development for a more conscious future. Alongside her educational work, Linn entered a deeper journey of self-transformation and exploration of what she describes as the New Light - a shift toward more conscious, love-centered living and creation. This process became the foundation for her calling to support others in releasing karmic patterns, reconnecting with purpose, and anchoring aligned creation in their lives and work. This journey eventually led to the creation of two core frameworks for the new paradigm: Pedagogic Meditation (144) for educators and schools, and the Light Warrior framework for conscious Coaches. Her work is grounded in one central vision: to contribute to a more conscious and compassionate world through education, aligned creation, and the transformation of fear into love.
