Lucie Lachaux is a Strategic Advisor and former CFO specialising in one specific and under-addressed problem: how highly capable people sustain and grow their performance once they have already achieved success. Most thinking on high performance focuses on how to get there. Very little addresses what happens after. When the goals have been met, the business is working, and the drive that made all of it possible starts to quietly disappear. When a highly intelligent person finds themselves sitting in a life they built but no longer feel engaged by. Not because they failed. Because they succeeded. And no one prepared them for what comes after that. This is the crisis Lucie works in. It is more common at the top than anyone publicly admits. She became a CFO at 26 and spent the following decade inside multi-entity businesses across Europe, the Middle East and the United States. What she observed consistently was that the highest performers hit a specific inflection point where sustained growth required something beyond strategy or capability. It required clarity on what actually comes next and the willingness to make the decision that moves them there. Her work combines CFO-level business precision with the ability to identify what is driving or blocking performance at the personal level. The two are never separate at this level. Treating them as if they are is exactly why so many high performers stay stuck longer than they should.

Emma is an RMT (Robbins-Madanes-trained) Coach and a Pranic Healer trained through the Institute of Pranic Healing, UK & Ireland. Emma believes that joy is fundamental to our lives and that even if we lose our sense of self or our sense of joy through burnout or the challenges or the complex setup of modern life, these can be restored through tailored and imaginative life coaching and through guided energy work, as offered by Pranic Healing. To those who suffer from a physical ailment and do not wish to engage in life coaching, Emma can offer Pranic Healing to support their recovery. Mind and body are so interconnected that it makes more sense to combine life coaching with Pranic Healing. There is no true calming of the mind without calming the energy. Her experience is that if a client is overwhelmed by burnout: emotional overwhelm combined with physical and mental exhaustion, they will find it very difficult to assimilate the coaching strategies and use the toolbox she provides effectively. By first cleansing their energy, they can regain a calm state, enabling them to make the most of the coaching and reach their goals. Through the many challenges Emma has faced: her divorce when her son was two, raising a neurodivergent child without the support of her family, working in the highly pressured environment of secondary schools as a professional, and then her redundancy in the middle of the pandemic–she learned that setting healthy boundaries and developing self-love are essential to creating a happier life, one where a person is not fearful but ultimately empowered by challenges, transforming them into fuel for personal growth. The place of guilt where women often find themselves, torn between the desire to bring happiness to their family and the longing for a successful professional life, not to mention the drive to achieve in other areas, is something Emma understands well. Her intention is for every woman to overcome burnout, fast-track physical and mental health and plan long-term well-being. Sensitive to the needs of single parents, Emma created her YouTube channel, @Lovemynewlife, packed with thoughtful topics and practical tips for an easier life. Emma is committed to serving her clients so they can create a fulfilled, balanced, and healthy life–a life they will learn to love and treasure again.

Annalie Mariem Pelot Al’Khalek is a mother, registered clinical psychologist, spiritual counselor, and a living descendant of the ancient lineage born from King Solomon of Israel and Queen Makeda of Sheba. Raised in a household where profound spiritual worlds collided, her worldview was uniquely shaped by a father carrying the mystical roots of the Rastafarian movement alongside the ancestral codes of Babylon, and a mother who anchored her children in a deep Catholic faith. As a Muslim revert who experienced a sudden, full-body somatic and spiritual transformation on the first day of Ramadan, Annalie was gifted with divine insight—a clear transmission engineered to strip away centuries of human division and reveal the singular, incorruptible code behind our reality. As the founder of ReThink Consciousness and creator of the MAHDI Code™, her professional work stands at the radical intersection of advanced clinical psychology, theoretical physics, and untranslated scriptural cryptography. Moving far beyond traditional, reductionist psychological paradigms, her therapeutic frameworks treat the human ecosystem at the absolute Whole level—restoring geometric harmony across the Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul to transition high-achieving professionals out of 3D survival density and into true spiritual sovereignty. Her writings are a direct fulfillment of a bloodline assignment: to unite what human ego has torn apart and to return the collective consciousness back to the absolute center of the ONE Source. Notable Literary Works: Returning 2 ONE: Unity of the People With MAHDI – ONE Soul Mission to the Source ReTHINK EVERYTHING: The MAHDI Code™ for Unwinding Karmic Debt, Neurodivergent Evolution, and Manifesting Heaven on Earth Annalie’s work offers global readers an authentic, transformative gateway toward deep somatic healing, unshakeable self-awareness, interfaith unity, and a lasting spiritual awakening.

Jessica Taggart: Empowering Others Through the SpiRITUAL Workout In a world filled with challenges and obstacles, Jessica Taggart has emerged as a creator, a solution-finder, and a dream-weaver. Through her signature practice, the SpiRITUAL Workout, she has crafted a transformative experience that combines Somatic moves, dynamic meditations, and Restorative Yoga. This daily ritual is designed to help individuals manage negative emotions, find stillness, and fully embrace the present moment. But Jessica's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment goes beyond her practice. She represents the little girl she once was, the one with sparkly eyes who lost her voice and identity in a world that seemed to make her invisible. Through her own path to self-love, Jessica realized that the time had come to reclaim her voice, her identity, and her power. No longer invisible, she recognizes that her voice matters, and she wants to empower other women who have faced similar experiences to do the same. Jessica's mission and purpose are driven by her commitment to her own healing journey. As she continues to heal, she aspires to become a vessel for the divine source of love that helps others heal and reclaim their own infinite power. Her power tool in this endeavor is the Somatic Activated Healing Practice, which has fundamentally transformed her life. Discovering that the antidote to misery was within her all along was a mind-blowing revelation. And she believes that this transformative experience is the medicine that the world needs. Compelled to share this medicine with others, Jessica is determined to spread the message that healing is possible and that everyone possesses the power to heal themselves. It is time, she insists, to release the emotional burdens that our bodies have carried for years. It is time to feel capable of managing every emotion, to let go of painful memories and the stories that have held us back, and to forgive ourselves for allowing those emotions to control our lives for so long. Jessica invites us to live in the present moment, taking ownership of our inner world, and allowing our emotions to move through us and over us. So, let's dance! Let's be present in our bodies as we process, transform, and let go of our emotions. Let's find ease together, embracing the power within us to create a world where healing is possible and where each individual can reclaim their perfect, infinite power. With Jessica Taggart as our guide, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.

Maria is an Accredited Life Coach Level 5 Certified by the IAPC&M and Registered Hypnotherapist with GHR. For the past 8 years she has been into self-development, always trying to be the best version of herself and wanting to find out her purpose. Many years ago she was working in retail stores but she realized she wasn't happy and believed all she needed was a 9-5 job to get a regular life. Well, needless to say that once she got a 9-5 job, she wasn’t happy there either! Maria didn't know what it was at first, why wasn't she happy? She found out she wasn't passionate about what she was doing, she did not care! In 2020 right before the pandemic hit the UK she quit her safe job, even though was surrounded by people who called her crazy to quit a job without having found a new one first. This was the best decision ever! Maria had the time to understand, without any distractions, what she really wanted to do, and to listen to her inner voice, Maria wanted to help people! She felt this need to contribute, wanting to do something meaningful that would make her feel proud of herself, to do something she truly deeply cared about! Signs were coming into her life saying it was the right path to follow and after joining a life coaching weekend masterclass, she decided to take a leap of faith, join the college in 2021 and start to build a new life for herself. In 2022 she decided to study Hypnotherapy and embrace the power of the subconscious mind. Maria believes that if she has been able to transform her life anyone can, it's all just a decision away. She now lives by doing what she loves, by doing what she is passionate about, and by helping people to be the best version of themselves!
