Naomi Pereira is an Australian ICF-accredited career and leadership coach with over 15 years' experience as a senior HR leader across financial services and media in the UK and Asia-Pacific. She holds a Master's in Human Resource Management. Her coaching practice, N.Pathcoaching, was born from what she saw and felt – during more than a decade spent on the inside of some of the most demanding corporate environments. Naomi sits at the intersection of people and business strategy in her role as Strategic people partner, advising executives on workforce planning, leadership development, and organisational change. She has a front-row seat to how careers are built, how leaders are chosen, and how the unwritten rules of corporate life shape who rises and who stays stuck. She also empathises with the quieter side – the self-doubt that even the most senior leaders carry, the weight of expectation that comes with corporate success, and the toll it takes on authenticity, self-belief, and wellbeing. It was a pattern she recognised in herself. Early in her career, Naomi was a quiet achiever – someone who delivered results but stayed in the background, watching others climb with a confidence she hadn't yet found in herself. Over time, she learned that confidence isn't something people are born with; it's something they build, often by confronting the very barriers the corporate world creates through labels, hierarchy, and cultures that reward performance over people. That realisation became the foundation of N.Pathcoaching. Naomi works with mid-career professionals and emerging leaders who are navigating the challenges they quietly carry along their own career path – the ones that don't make it into performance reviews but profoundly shape potential. Self-doubt. A difficult manager. Burnout. Organisational change that leaves people questioning their next step. These are the moments where an insider's perspective makes a difference, and Naomi brings exactly that: a practical understanding of how organisations really work, paired with thought-provoking coaching tools that help clients see their situation clearly and move forward with confidence. Her approach is grounded, empathetic, and direct. She creates a safe space for clients to explore what's holding them back without judgement, and has a proven track record of helping people achieve transformational change – not by following someone else's path, but by finding their own.

Len Shen is a Doctor, Lawyer, Buddhist Lama, and Priest. Continuing a long family lineage, he has dedicated his life to public service, with most of his career spent as an environmental advocate and corporate chief ethics and compliance officer, and now bringing the 3,000 year old healing tradition of Medical Qi Gong to patients and students in the West through his non-profit, www.californiaqigong.com. Dr. Shen has lived on the one hand a traditional legal and corporate career. Graduating in the 1980s from Harvard College and Harvard Law School with honors, he spent the first two decades of his career as a U.S. Justice Department prosecutor of corporate polluters, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official, U.S. Senate Environment Subcommittee Chief Counsel, and environmental law practitioner.  He then became the Global Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer for GE Commercial Finance, American Express, PayPal, and Visa, where he led teams of hundreds of ethics officers around the world to promote integrity and compliance with the law by hundreds of thousands of corporate employees.  He then became Chairman of the Board of two financial services companies in the U.S. and Canada, and served on the Board of Directors of multiple technology startups and homeless shelters in Silicon Valley. In parallel with this conventional career, over 40 years ago Len began training in tai chi, yoga, meditation, reiki (Levels 1 and 2 certified), and Medical Qi Gong. He trained with Sifu John Leong in Seattle, Dr. Robert Smith in Washington, D.C., Sifu Harinder Singh, and for 5 years directly and intensively with Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, the “father of medical qi gong in the West”, including clinical treatment of patients.   Dr. Shen received a Doctorate in Chinese Energetic Medicine, and also was ordained as a Buddhist Lama in the 1,800 year old lineage of the Zheng-Yi Celestial Master sect of Longu Shan in China, and ordained as a Christian Mystical Priest.  He continues to train in Daoist, medical qi gong post-doctoral, Christian and Egyptian mysticism programs, so as to be able to bring to bear multiple powerful lineages to heal clients. Dr. Shen and his colleagues presented their work at Harvard Medical School in May 2026, and continue to work with scientists and researchers to bring Qi Gong into Western medicine. Dr. Shen’s passion and vision when he founded California Qi Gong is to bring the incredibly powerful healing techniques of Medical Qi Gong to patients and students – particularly those who would not otherwise have access to its benefits.  Over the last several years he has taught qi gong pro bono at homeless shelters in California and Colorado, and to dementia ward patients, veterans, women cancer patients and battered/abused women.   In California Qi Gong, he has gathered some of the top medical qi gong healers in the United States (in which there are fewer than 1,000 certified medical qi gong doctors), all driven by the same vision of high integrity and ethical values.  All net proceeds of his class fees are donated to a homeless shelter in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information about Dr. Shen, his colleagues, and their online classes and treatments, see www.californiaqigong.com and https://linkedin.com/in/leonardshen.

Martin Rothery is the visionary creator of Sanomentology, a groundbreaking approach to unlocking the the power of the unconscious mind. With over 38 years of study in theology, science, metaphysics, philosophy, psychology, and hypnotherapy, he has dedicated his life to uncovering deeper truths within these disciplines. He has trained over 500 people globally in the program so far, with Therapists, Doctors, Psychologists, Business Leaders, Strategists and more successfully using Sanomentology to help their own clients.   Frustrated by the rigid ideologies in traditional therapy, Martin sought to develop a more effective, ethical, and transformative method for healing and growth. His realization that many therapeutic practices were rooted in outdated principles led him to create Sanomentology, a system designed to help individuals break free from pain, fear, and limiting beliefs. His mission is to guide people toward a life of freedom and prosperity through the extraordinary power of their own minds.   Martin’s work is built on the foundation of honesty and big dreams, values that have shaped his approach to therapy and personal development. He believes that true healing comes from understanding rather than force, and his methods prioritize deep, meaningful change over superficial solutions.   Beyond his therapeutic innovations, Martin is also an author, having written Sanomentology: The Theories, a book that explores the principles behind his work and offers insights into the transformative potential of the human mind, and Consciousness, Emotions, and Manifestation, dedicated to his new ideas of the construct of consciousness, how emotions are created, and how it all matters in the field of manifestation. His dedication to helping others has made him a respected figure in the field of alternative therapy, and his programs continue to provide results once considered impossible.

Margo Bereska’s clairvoyancy and spiritual gifts were clear from a very early age and, unlike many, they were never shut down; her mother always said, “I don’t care if you’re a shoe salesman, just be the best one.” Overcoming “best” to personal best with 46 years of “knowing,” she was born in 1978, and again recently! Her rich life experiences helped catalyze multiple spiritual awakenings that have brought her to the realization of oneness, and how our story collective “why” goes beyond the “connected self.” The layers of spirit manifested as a teenager, directing her to attend many workshops and retreats to help hone her skills as an emerging, powerful mystic.   As a certified practitioner in auric viewing, past-life regression, hypnosis, massage therapy and aesthetics, she had direct hands-on contact with people. She could feel into the energy body of the client, work with the energy and help them heal, prosper, or bend and flex. Increasingly she started to work with the energy body in ceremony, healing the many layers of the soul alongside native chiefs and healers near her home town in Jasper, Alberta. The major shifts and transitions, both for herself and clients, were dramatic; people sought out her mystical talents from far and wide. After giving birth to her rainbow twins four days apart, she took time to parent and rebirth herself.   Each awakening brought Margo to new and higher levels of seeing and understanding. Decades ago, it was clear that she could intuit situations and problems in others and help guide them to paths of light in life, health, love and work. Her clear seeing of energy assisted her in solving complex problems in the workplace, and made her into an excellent consultant for business, especially in the wellness industry.   Her quest for helping souls heal into new levels of being led her to train in Spiritual Response Therapy, allowing her to access the very programming of the soul. With curious clients coming for both this and her spiritual ceremonies, Margo started offering workshops to train and certify them in intuition, card readings and energy healing modalities. Margo has found that luxury wellness retreats offering group learning and healing are of the highest benefit to all. She now focuses more on private clients and boutique experiences.   With a rich life of experience and decades of practice behind her, Margo now thrives in elevating people to new levels of consciousness. She is on a mission to help align the greater collective to higher states of consciousness and wellbeing, resulting in the ascendence of humanity. Working one-on-one or in groups, Margo has a passion to bring vibrant light into anyone that is ready. She is a leader in bridging dimensions with new thought through uncharted waters beyond territory, influencing the influencers.
