Coach Talat is a certified nutritionist, transformation coach, and software engineer who helps people achieve sustainable fat loss, better health, and a stronger relationship with food. His passion for nutrition began from personal experience after struggling with being overweight himself. Instead of following extreme diets, he started testing, learning, and applying different nutrition and fitness strategies on his own body first, which helped him build a realistic approach to long-term transformation. Today, Coach Talat combines his personal journey, professional nutrition education, and analytical background as a software engineer to create structured, practical, and easy-to-follow coaching systems. He is the founder of the 21-Day Transformation Challenge, an online program designed to help people lose fat, improve their habits, stay active, and enjoy food without feeling restricted. He also combines his passion for healthy cooking with his love for desserts, creating healthier alternatives to popular and viral recipes. His goal is to show people that they can still enjoy the foods they love, including sweets, while making smarter choices that support their health and transformation goals. His coaching style focuses on evidence-based meal planning, fitness guidance, habit building, accountability, and community support. Through his challenges, online coaching, and social media platforms, he supports Arabic-speaking communities across Europe and the Middle East, especially busy people who want real results without complicated or extreme dieting. Coach Talat’s mission is to make healthy living realistic, enjoyable, and sustainable.

Ash Miner of Animal Song Healing practically came into the world a teacher, from helping with her ballet classes at age 9, to helping with horseback riding camp and lessons at 13, to music lessons at 17, to dog training & behavior modification as an adult, and now shamanism. She graduated magna cum laude with her dual bachelor's degrees in music education and violin performance in 2008, then sumam cum laude with her first master's degree in violin performance in 2010, then summa cum laude again with dual master's degrees in canine/feline and equine behavior & wellness in 2023. She began formal shamanic studies in 2016 and completed Sandra Ingerman's final Practitioner Training in 2024, culminating in Ash's acceptance to Sandra's final Teacher Training, slated for completion in September of 2026. Ash has studied online with Jonathan Horwitz and Zara Waldebäck of the Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies since 2020, and has flown to Sweden for their residential courses.   Ash believes that spiritual healing is part of a triad of healing that includes the body and mind. It does not replace Western medicine or psychotherapy, but can enhance and empower a healing path. Ash had PTSD after the tragic death of a teacher in 5th grade and 1.5 years of abuse in middle school, as well as lung surgery to remove a carcinoid tumor in 2022. Having a shamanic practitioner to help guide her through that entire process, including therapy, medication, and hospitalization, was essential to her holistic healing path. Shamanism is also an animistic way of life, viewing everything in the world as alive, conscious, or soulful, and able to offer help. Ash humbly walks in Nature with the knowledge that every rock, plant, drop of water, and animal could be offering her insight into her life, or healing for an ailment.   As a teacher, Ash's favorite compliment is that she always makes her students laugh and brings such good energy into her lessons. Her hope is to bring her joyful teaching style to managing a healing sanctuary where animals who are recovering from trauma can help humans who are doing the same, and vice versa, while incorporating the joy of music for youths and adults. Musicians can overcome performance anxiety when playing for the animals. Everyone who has gone through the program can pay back by volunteering to help care for those who are beginning their healing process. Ash's helping Spirits are big on the duality of Life and Spirit, so even before the facility has been found or funds raised, she has already begun the work in the Spirit World to plan and manifest the sanctuary's existence. Her expertise in animals, music, and healing makes her uniquely able to bring this vision to life in an ethical, reciprocal, and honorable way.

Fabio da Silva Fernandes (he/him) is the owner of Resting Bell Wellness Inc., a wellness business centred on mindfulness, Reiki and resilience cultivation, branded under the name of his podcast, The Stumbling Spirit.   For the majority of 27 years, Fabio worked in the tech industry where he proved himself as a competent customer support leader who successfully managed a tight-knit team and handled international banking clients.   In 2015, while on vacation, Fabio was desperately seeking peace-of-mind. This contemplation was a surrender to the Universe at a time when he had reached one of his lowest points, unable to break free from a downward spiral of thinking which had impacted his general well-being. His contemplation led him in the direction of prayer, mindfulness and Reiki which had a transformative impact on his life and would unwittingly prepare him to help others in the future.   During the pandemic, Fabio reached another inflection point - this time with his career in fintech. After taking a short leave-of-absence, he initiated a plan to resign from the company he had worked for after more than 20 years to start his own wellness practice. In 2021, Resting Bell Wellness Inc. was born.   Over the years, Fabio has attained several mindfulness certifications, including:   Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Mindful Self Compassion (MSC) Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) Foundations of Applied Mindfulness Meditation (University of Toronto) Applied Specialization in Mindfulness Meditation (University of Toronto) Mindfulness Informed End of Life Care (University of Toronto)   Fabio is certified to teach several mindfulness courses and has developed his own Mindful Leadership Workshop geared towards professionals from all walks of life.   For nearly 2 years, Fabio volunteered as a mindfulness practitioner at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital (Sinai Health System) in Toronto, where he led mindfulness practices for both patients and caregivers.   From a Reiki perspective, Fabio is a certified Reiki Master in the Usui Shiki Ryoho and Tibetan Intuitive methods, and he is a Reiki Grandmaster (Level 9) in the DivineYu lineage. He is also a certified Reiki Master Teacher (Levels 1 to 3) and Holy Fire III Reiki Master Teacher.   In 2023, Fabio started a podcast on resilience cultivation called, The Stumbling Spirit. He is passionate about the topic of resilience and explores this topic from various angles. Fabio believes that we can all grow our capacity of resilience by listening to the stories, experiences and wisdom of others.   As humans, we are all stumbling spirits trying to find our way through this beautifully abundant and painfully turbulent existence. Fabio’s intention is to help others on their journey towards cultivating greater wellness and resilience through his services and podcast.   He was an invited guest speaker at Centennial College in Toronto two years in the row on the topic of resilience cultivation.   Fabio is grateful to all of his supporters, mentors, teachers, clients, students and podcast guests. He acknowledges that he would not have arrived here without them.

Douglas McGregor CEng MIET is a Chartered Electrical Engineer, Design Director, and multi-platform technology founder with over 30 years of experience delivering safety-critical infrastructure for some of the UK's most demanding clients — including Network Rail, NHS trusts, and major renewable energy developers. As founder of Electel Systems Design Ltd, Douglas has led complex projects spanning railway electrification, hospital power infrastructure, high-voltage campus design, and solar farm integration. In 2020, a moment of clarity during the COVID pandemic prompted him to leave employment and found Electel Systems Design Ltd. The clients followed — not out of loyalty to a name, but because it was Douglas's service, expertise, and professionalism they had been relying on all along. Driven by a personal transformation journey and a lifelong instinct to solve real problems through engineering rigour, Douglas has since built five AI-powered platforms: ESD Fitness, ESD Solar Farm Analytics, ESD DC Cables Calculator, ESD Geothermal, and an AI engineering clone system. Each addresses a genuine market gap identified through decades of direct professional experience. Across his five platforms, Douglas has filed 10 patents covering AI fitness technology, solar analytics, DC cable design, and geothermal energy systems. ESD Solar Farm Analytics is currently in active discussions with projects, public bodies, and trade associations as part of its validation programme — a platform Douglas believes will be a significant market disruptor. Douglas is now seeking aligned investors and commercial partners to help scale these platforms into world-class global companies. The ideas are built. The IP is protected. The team is next.

I was like many young boys out there in modern society. I drank, I partied hard, I people pleased, I had countless casual hook ups, I was heavily addicted to pornography, I dabbled in smoking, drugs and gambling.. This lifestyle began to take a toll on me.. I was completely lost and broken. I listened to a podcast on Self - Sabotage and I ticked every box.. I was the King. I then went about a 3 year transformational healing journey where I was able to unpack my shadow.. I let go of all the fear, guilt, shame and resentment I had toward myself and others. I forgave them, I forgave myself. I then quit all of my self abusive habits as listed above... I have since rediscovered my true purpose. This is the most alive I have ever felt. I am truly grateful for this journey.. I have written a book, started a business, a podcast and have written for The Light Newspapers.. My life has only just begun. I have a passion for working with youth and anyone from all all walks of life, to break free from their self sabotaging habits to live the life of their dreams.
