Elizabeth Chanter of Honour Being is a Classical Homeopath, Creatrix and an experienced shamanically trained Reiki Master in The Golden Reiki Way, which is a progressive system of personal and spiritual evolution. This offers a highly individual pathway forward, offering healing for the emotional wounds and hurts of life, breaking generational patterning and clearing karmic fallout.   One of her longstanding clients said of her:   “Elizabeth put me gently but firmly back on the path to self-healing with enormous compassion and deftness of her art. A truly wonderful Reiki Master, teacher and human!” (Alex C ~ Gloucester, Jan 2022)   Elizabeth has always been a seeker after answers, with a strong intuitive sense that there is far more to life than physical being.   Through Golden Way Reiki, Elizabeth is attuned to many ancient systems of healing from around the world, and therefore has a much wider palette to draw upon than those attuned in Western Reiki practices. Her Reiki offerings include advanced cycles of Shamanic Reiki, Crystal Reiki and rebirth cycles of Golden Ray Reiki and Angel Fire Reiki. Elizabeth calls herself "old School" and a Walker of the Old Ways.   Since 2004 she has been assisting others to make transformational change in their lives, leading to positive, lasting and sometimes extraordinary results. She is passionate about helping her clients to evolve and grow into the bright, beautiful beings they were always intended to be. Having experienced many personal dark nights of the soul, she accompanies others on their healing journey with empathy, deep compassion and understanding.   She began her training with Classical Homeopathy and qualified in 2004 when she opened her healing practice. Her rigorous training and many years as a homeopath taught her the art of how to hone her powers of intuition and observation and how to hold safe and respectful listening space.   Elizabeth later trained in Reflexology based on an understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and then specialised in Fertility Reflexology with Barbara Scott of Seren Fertility, bringing in a deepening understanding of the rites and spiritual dimensions of conception, pregnancy, labour, birth and motherhood. This is interwoven into her Honour New Life Reiki Treatments.   In 2011, Elizabeth was walking her own pathway of darkness and struggle when she was introduced to the man who became her personal Beyond Reiki Master ~ and her life truly began to turn around. Walking a shamanic pathway requires the shaman (or woman) to pass through very difficult rites of passage of the body, emotions, heart, mind and soul. As well as receiving rigourous training, these have honed every part of her being.   In 2013, having demonstrated high personal integrity and dedication to her training, she received her Licence to practice as a Reiki Master of The Golden Reiki Way. However, this was just a beginning as she subsequently completed a further nine Attunement & Training Courses (completing 16 Courses to date).   And Elizabeth would be the first person to acknowledge that this is an ongoing learning pathway of personal evolution and spiritual evolution…   In February 2023, Elizabeth received a life-threatening diagnosis of a serious vascular auto-immune illness and was offered life-preserving doses of medication. Initially in shock, she very quickly embraced it all, realising that the benefits of modern medicine would buy her time to receive the Reiki healing required for the underlying issues.   What happened next was extraordinary, as a powerful and pure channel of creativity flowed through to enable her healing. Always creative, this wonderful resource gave birth to her Dreaming Your Inner Child Workshops and Retreats, which now form part of her offerings.   A year on, Elizabeth has moved into a place well beyond simple recovery. She never ceased to be available to her clients throughout this time, deriving such joy from witnessing the healing and blossoming of their lives. She is now fully back in practice, with a deepened understanding of the nature of auto-immune illness, how it arises, the messages it brings, how it can be healed, and the effect of serious medication upon our entire being.   Through it all, Golden Way Reiki has lifted, lightened, healed, strengthened and restored her. She is dedicated to offering this way to others.   When working with Reiki, it is Elizabeth’s experience that quiet compassionate listening enables whatever requires healing to reveal itself ~ and then Reiki channels through her to meet the uppermost healing need of her client. This is a place beyond ego.   Elizabeth offers in person Reiki Treatments and Attunement and Training, Honour Sacred Art Workshops and Retreats (Dreaming Your Inner Child) from her healing practice Honour Being in Wiltshire, and she has many clients with whom she works via Remote Healing around the UK and in Canada. She also offers Healing Journey Meditations, and conducts regular Moon Ceremonies online and in person.

Sandra Merula is a Mental Health & Life Coach, author, and neurodivergence specialist working at the intersection of Autism, ADHD, AuDHD, trauma, addiction, and narcissistic abuse recovery. She is the author of “ADHD and Autism. The ‘Together’ People”, where she challenges simplified narratives around diagnosis, identity, and relationship dynamics. As a neurodivergent professional herself, Sandra brings lived experience into structured psychological work. Her approach examines power, authority, emotional regulation, and identity reconstruction — particularly in individuals who have felt misunderstood, mislabeled, or chronically overwhelmed. She works with both adolescents and adults, guiding them through identity clarification, pattern interruption, and the rebuilding of self-trust. Her style is direct, analytical, and deeply reflective, combining psychological frameworks with intuitive insight from "Elicitation". Through Merula Therapy and her cat-assisted therapy philosophy, Sandra integrates grounding, nervous system awareness, and relational safety into transformative work. Her writing and practice explore how neurodivergence and trauma shape perception, behavior, and personal power — and how those patterns can be consciously reconstructed. Her mission is not simply symptom management, but identity-level change, coming from a pure wish to help people!

Maria Isa believes legacy isn't about what you leave behind but rather about transforming your expertise into impact you can witness. A former Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive strategist, she spent years making products unforgettable across Africa's most competitive markets. Her work taught her to read the room and to spot shifts before they happen, to understand where value is moving, and to position brands for what's coming next. Today, she's applying that same foresight to people. Through her experience in marketing, Maria observed a shift taking shape. As AI rises and organisations lean toward younger, more cost-efficient workforces, a generation of deeply experienced professionals is being quietly edged out. Not because their wisdom has expired but because the system no longer knows what to do with them. These are people with decades of lived experience. Lessons that can't be Googled. Insights that could save others years of struggle. Maria sees this not as a tragedy, but as a gap. A gap between expertise that still has immense value and a world that's quickly forgetting how to access it. Through AfriMaisha Marketing Consulting, she works as a Legacy Architect and Internationally Certified mBIT Coach, helping experienced leaders do what she once did for global brands: extract their wisdom, structure it into a bankable brand, and build a presence that AI can never replicate. Her signature process transforms decades of hard-won experience into a system so clear and ownable that opportunities start coming to them instead of the other way around. Through mBIT neuroscience coaching, she aligns head, heart, and gut—ensuring her clients show up with presence that is fully aligned with who they are. Her clients go from being quietly edged out to becoming voices that influence generations. They land opportunities they thought were behind them. And they gain the quiet peace of watching their impact unfold while they're still here to enjoy it. Maria is the author of Modern Advertising Essentials and brings deep cross-cultural experience from her work across Africa. Her philosophy is simple: your life's wisdom is your greatest asset. In a world that's quick to move past you, she helps you build something permanent with it.
