Manu cannot be put in any box. He holds a Master’s degree in Law, a Postgraduate degree in Business Economics, both from the KU Leuven University (Belgium), and a Master’s Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of Cambridge (UK). After studying law and economics, Manu starts to work in the finance sector. His budding career is marred by a recurring problem: severe migraines accompanied by nausea and vomiting. No doctor can alleviate his pains; no apparent physiological problem can be identified. It is at that most painful time that mirrorology crosses his path, and it proves a revelation. This fantastic approach allows us to see what surrounds us as a mirror of ourselves, teaching us about ourselves, our subconscious conditioning, our blind spots. Through self-observation in any given situation, it is possible to replace the automatic reactions that make us experience and relive recurring situations in our lives, with conscious responses. This also helps counter negative habits and thoughts that generate stress, which can have a detrimental impact on our health. As to the migraines, it is during one of the so-called mirrorology fan club sessions back in 2003 that Manu meets someone who advises him to go see a doctor who developed an intriguing new health approach based on electromagnetism. And it works! The migraines disappear! He writes about this in his e-book “In You, you should trust”. Intrigued, he sets out over the course of the next 20-odd years to study and apply all of the following coaching & healing techniques: courses alfa (brain waves) training, Universal White Light Healing Level I, numerous Taladoni Coaching (including mirrorology) workshops, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, VortexHealing®, “Handling Healing Hands” (laying on of hands), The New Family Constellations, MarconicsTM Levels I, II and III, Conscious Connected Breathing breathwork, and next to these, Taoist & Tibetan mantra seminars and many different workshops all in line with the above subjects. He continues to train and educate himself in different techniques and healing approaches. While he is no secret agent, he does lead a double life as he continues to be active in the business world. He is also a LEAN (continuous improvement) Practitioner, an Agile coach, ADKAR Prosci (change management) certified, and trained in several other organizational change management techniques… next to being multilingual. He has experienced things in (t)his whole process, or rather journey, that incite him to share these insights and knowledge with the wish, and the hope, that they may help others like they have helped him. What makes him most happy, is his connecting the dots in the spiritual imagery of humanity’s spiritual-religious streams. This connecting revealed to him how these are at base personal development instructions, aimed at the Consciousness increase of the entire human race through each individual human being, turning each one of us into the conscious, awakened beings we are meant to be: conscious co-creators of our lives. He has written about all these “dots”, including his summarizing 777 message, in his e-books published back in 2012, a most challenging and intense year for Manu. His most recent publication, in 2024, is his book describing concisely 7 techniques to become your own best life coach, based on his 20+ years journey.

Debbie Bryan is a TEDx curator, speaker and leadership visibility strategist who specialises in helping quietly brilliant women executives be seen, heard and recognised as the authority they already are. With more than 25 years’ experience working with senior leaders, founders and decision-makers, Debbie has observed a consistent pattern: highly capable women often carry deep expertise and judgement, yet remain overlooked in influential spaces because their authority is understated, normalised, or quietly held. Debbie’s work focuses on voice, presence and strategic visibility not performance, personal branding or noise. She helps experienced women articulate their value clearly, land their authority in leadership rooms, and influence decisions without changing who they are. As a TEDx speaker and co-curator of TEDx Railway Village, Debbie works at the intersection of leadership, communication and visibility, supporting women who are ready to move beyond being competent contributors and into recognised authority. Her approach is grounded, senior and practical designed for women who already lead, but are ready to be seen differently.

Amy Kelly is the founder of The Dreamy Reset Life a transformational coaching platform for women navigating heartbreak, burnout, and major life transitions. Her journey began when her marriage suddenly ended, prompting her to book a one-way flight that would transform her life forever. What started as an escape evolved into an 18-month journey of self-discovery across Central and South America. Amy immersed herself in new experiences learning Spanish, surfing remote beaches, and exploring deep meditation practices. The real transformation was internal: rediscovering who she truly was beneath layers of societal and familial expectations. With over 40 countries stamped in her passport, Amy has always been a passionate traveler. Yet this particular journey wasn't about seeing new places but seeing herself clearly for the first time in years. As she began to heal and rebuild, women started naturally seeking her guidance through their own difficult transitions. Her unique ability to help others emerged not from textbooks or certifications but from courageously walking through her own complete transformation. From this profound experience, Amy developed her signature D.R.E.A.M.Y. Reset Method—a heart-centered, holistic approach helping women reconnect with their authentic selves, rebuild unshakable confidence, and create beautifully aligned lives. Her comprehensive methodology guides clients through six transformative phases: Discover, Reconnect, Elevate, Activate, Manifest, and Yes to You. Before launching her coaching career, Amy built extensive experience as a successful corporate travel consultant and launched a remote executive assistant business. Today, she works intimately with women in their 20s and 30s through personalized 1:1 coaching — with group programs and global retreats on the horizon, helping them transform life’s biggest challenges into extraordinary opportunities for growth, clarity, and self-discovery. Amy's mission remains beautifully simple yet incredibly powerful: helping every woman recognize her inherent strength, rebuild unshakable confidence, and find the courage to pursue the life she's always dreamed of living.

Pauline van Borrendam has been a haptotherapist for 30 years. She works in her own private practice. A haptotherapist helps you find balance in your emotional life. Working with affective touch, from an inner attitude of warmth and respect, the haptotherapist acknowledges the client exactly where he or she is in that moment. When people feel really accepted, and experience that in their body, they open up and get to know themselves on a deeper level. Shortly after completing her haptotherapy training, Pauline found out that she had had a very traumatic childhood, to which she had no conscious memory. Looking back she saw that there had been signs all her life, the most striking of which were major dissociative symptoms; when you are not well connected to yourself in your body. In the following years, she recognised that all of her clients who suffered more chronic symptoms had experienced childhood trauma, that was now hidden in their body. Unaddressed childhood trauma can lead to many psychological and physical complaints. Pauline discovered how to build a stable base in your body, as a foundation for healing trauma. She learned how to acknowledge, soothe and heal fears, anxiety, loneliness, grief, anger, tension, sleeplessness, shallow breathing, headaches and so on. There is a lot of attention for trauma today. Pauline completed Janina Fisher's TIST training; Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment, in April 2025, and is now a certified TIST therapist as well. In TIST you work with parts of your consciousness that have split off during trauma. These parts make themselves known in your body, in feelings, in ways of behaving, and also in thoughts and beliefs. TIST fits perfectly with the haptotherapy approach. The core approach of both haptotherapy and TIST consists of felt connection in the body, deep acceptance and empathy, as the primary forces which lead to healing. Where other approaches often use ‘tools’, focus and attention, haptotherapy and TIST hold back on rational or will-driven attention, and help you find that inner state in which you experience a deep sense of acceptance, safety, surrender and love. The healing that comes from that entry point is unmistakably clear and palpable in your body, and it lasts.
