Head Instructor
Ilona Pokallo
She established her own salon, Amber Aesthetics in 2017 in Richmond and performs rejuvenating facial and body treatments while educating her clients on a holistic approach to skincare at home, incorporating mindset and nutrition as well as skincare.
Ilona firmly believes in daily skincare and an all-round approach to health and well-being, rather than simply occasional visits to a beautician and uses her expertise to recommend the most suitable aesthetic treatments for her clients’ needs. In her 40s, Ilona believes that you can delay the signs of ageing by 5-10 years with a consistent, tailored approach, combining non-invasive treatments, as soon as wrinkles appear with the latest tailored nutritional supplements, based on lab tests and using top quality cosmeceutical products.
She encourages everyone to find out how they can do the inner beauty work to amplify their outer beauty and is a representative for both Zinzino personalised nutrition solutions and Larens cosmeceuticals.

Laura Vanaga
Coach and Kundalini Teacher
Communicator. Networking freak. Maverick. Some say that I am good at giving inspiration, others say that I run on solar energy. I guess they’re right. I am the author of ‘Joga un pārdošana’ (Yoga and selling) (2016) and co-author of ‘Kā gūt panākumus Latvijā’ (How to become successful in Latvia) (2018). I am a person who dislikes the bubble we’re living in and which we can’t escape from even if we really wish. Every day I observe how people burn themselves out, trading their skills, talents and higher creative potential for processes that do not bring them satisfaction, and it deeply touches me.

Jane Parslow
Transitions Coach
I am a Transitions Coach, supporting people going through big life changes. I help you get real clarity about where you want to be, consider your options and develop a plan as to how to get there … then we work together to ensure you keep making progress.
I understand that there will be hiccups along the way, and I can help you overcome them – whether that’s about confidence, overwhelm, decision-making or prioritising.
I have been coaching since 2008 and qualified in 2010. I am a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and a Fellow of the RSA.
I’m passionate about helping you make the best of your life – with clarity, direction and motivation.
Penny Briant
Experienced Relationship Coach
I help busy women with or without family commitments, who have no time for themselves and feel they are on a treadmill going through the motions of daily life. Spinning so many plates you no longer know which way is up. Yelling at the kids or your other half as you lose your hold on keeping it together. Longing for life to be the way you dream of it being.
In our society, women have been trained in taking care of everyone and it’s not your fault that your life has ended up this way. However, if you feel you are at your wits end, fed up or just down right worn out, the good news is there is a different way.
Xanthi
Nutritional Researcher
Having completed her MSc in Public Health Nutrition she decided she wanted to work in the field of women's and children's health. Soon after she worked for the Department of Health where she offered scientific advice to various nutrition policies including 5aday, Change4Life and Start4Life. She has also supported the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition and specifically the Maternal and Child Nutrition subgroup at the completion of the early nutrition report.
Leonie Wright
Nutrition Coach
Leonie Wright is a nutrition coach and the founder of EatWright a nutrition consultancy for women in Surrey. Leonie’s mission is to stop women from going on diets. Instead, she helps them to make long lasting changes in their eating habits so that they can become healthier, lose unwanted weight, and feel great. Leonie has written 3 recipe books of which the last one, CookWright Forever, was launched just before Christmas 2020.
She is passionate about helping women to be the best versions of themselves by eating the right foods. She firmly believes that we are what we eat and that nourishing our bodies with nature’s food is the key to enhancing our health, vitality and state of mind. Mostly our bodies can heal themselves if given the ‘wright’ foods, and a healthy diet generates benefits in every area of your lives.
Sam Sadighi
Sleep Coach
I started my ‘Sleep Journey’ by training with the well respected Dana Obleman using her ‘Sleep Sense’ methodology for children, but soon realised that infants weren’t the only ones who would benefit from my help. I then went on to carry out further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) which I use with older children and adults. I’m constantly updating my skills and have recently become a Certified Brief Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (BBT-i) Practitioner. I’m looking forward to starting yet more training in CBT-i and also a specialist courses to help Teenagers in the coming months.
