Episode 19: Journey from Performer to Nutritionist
In this episode Sarah shares her story of how she moved from being a performer in productions like Starlight Express and We Will Rock You to becoming a nutritionist after having received so much help herself for her own health. Her passion for what she does has helped many other women living with auto immune conditions and helped women understand their bodies better as they age and progress through menopause
Sarah graduated from the College Of Naturopathic Medicine as a fully qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist over 10yrs ago after deciding her performing career was no longer fulfilling her in the same way it once did. Her passion for supporting women through the ageing process and particularly menopause started after witnessing her mum go through the menopause at just 32yrs old and become her own health advocate when mainstream medicine failed her
Sarah is the co-creator of the Thrive Nutrition and Wellbeing program, has her own private practice and is a top performing consultant for a wellness and beauty brand. She has written articles for Naturopathy magazine, Health & Wellbeing Magazine, and the Daily Mail. She has also had the pleasure of speaking at various wellness festivals and retreats as well as hosting her own Longevity retreat in Ibiza and nothing pleases her more than educating women on how to live in a healthy, happy body for life

Episode 18: Journey to becoming a Yoga Teacher
In this episode Vicki shares how a horrific hit & run accident left her with a life changing foot injury. Refusing to accept the doctor’s prognosis, she returned to her yoga practice and found it brought back her strength and flexibility. In 2017 she decided to become a yoga teacher and it has been her full time occupation since 2020. She shares her passion for giving it a go and how worth while it can be
Vicki Baumann aka YogaWithVickiB is a living example of the many benefits of yoga. After suffering a traumatic life-changing foot injury, following a hit and run accident in 2012 that resulted in two operations and 18 months of rehabilitation learning to walk again – it was her yoga practice that brought her back to fitness.
It was in 2017 at aged 55 that she qualified as a yoga teacher.
Having taught yoga part-time whilst running a print business, Vicki made the decision to leave her 30+ career behind and focus solely on her yoga business. The timing of leaving her business career behind, could have been better! It was just two weeks before the pandemic lockdown! In one day she had transitioned her business from all in-person to Zoom classes – a decision that remains a positive one to this day.
At the heart of her business is inviting women to start yoga. Encouraging those that have often put off starting for many years – even though they know it could be good for them. Those that find themselves saying “they are too old to start, they are not fit enough, strong enough, never been able to touch their toes, never had any balance” etc to just start.
She teaches yoga beginners courses and group classes on Zoom which can be a real help to those who are worried about entering an in-person class. Students are comfortable in their own surroundings and led in a structured class where Vicki can guide and encourage them.
As well as her online teachings, Vicki runs in-person workshops and ladies-only yoga & relaxation holidays.
Vicki ethos is to be kind to ourselves, not judge ourselves on what we can’t do yet.. And provide ourselves with some me-time to discover just how beneficial yoga can be. “When you are on your yoga mat, you are not thinking of anything else. It provides you space for meditation in motion”.

In this episode Yvonne shares her decision to leave a well paid corporate job to seek greater purpose outside not initially knowing what she was going to do. Her story is one of going from extreme stress to the joy of running her own business as a coach and she also gives us some tips about managing procrastination which we all suffer from to some extent!
Yvonne Pritchard is a “Fabulous” coach, who coaches and mentors women to;
Remove doubtBe more confidentDiscover their identityFall in love with themselvesAnd to be Fabulous.I know what it feels like to be less than Fabulous. I didn’t know who I was, what my purpose was and I had lost my confidence, my mojo and my sparkle. People didn’t know this as I hid it well, and this was exhausting. I was putting on a mask and pretending to be happy, in control and confident, I was not. This took it toll on me and I ended up being diagnosed with depression. Fast forward to now and I am 100% in love with myself, I know who I am, what I stand for, I am happy, confident, and in control of my life, and when curve balls come, I know how to deal with them.
She is walking, talking proof that you can be the person you want to be, but you need to invest time and money into yourself to make these changes. And I hope we’ll hear her story
She is an NLP Master Coach, A Time Line Therapy Master coach and a Hypnosis Master. Over the past 5 years she has coached over 200 people to be fabulous and to lead the life they deserve.

In this episode Cath shares her story of her realisation that, as a primary school teacher, with all the pressures that go alongside it, she was missing out on seeing her son grow up as she was never fully present in her life. She talks about learning to become a mindfulness teacher and how she has grown an award winning business. She also shares about why mindfulness and meditation is so important to balance out the stresses that are part and parcel of 21st century life and finding joy in our daily life
Cath Downes is an award winning mindfulness and meditation mentor and founder of Find Your Calm.
It wasn’t until she left a teaching career of 18 years that she realised she’d never really switched off from work and been fully present in her life!
Cath realised that she had missed out on time with her son and stepchildren. She had been there physically, but was often distracted and not quite there, mentally and emotionally.
Through developing a daily mindfulness practice, she felt she got her life back. She learnt how to bring herself to the present moment, slowing the pace so her mind could be where she was.
The simple changes Cath made had such a big impact that she wanted to share what she’d learnt with as many other people as possible.
Cath qualified as a mindfulness teacher and meditation leader in 2020. Since then, she’s run numerous courses, including her Mindfulness for Men group programme. She also works with clients on a one to one basis, helping them to become more calm, more connected and more happy in life.

She is committed to homeopathy because it treats the person as a whole without the side effects of conventional medicine. I believe that true healing is synonymous with liberation (freedom from whatever ails you).
She love my work and take a friendly and practical approach. I enjoy getting to know patients, working with them towards improving their health and offering a real alternative to or support for conventional treatment.
Originally from Canada, having also lived in Belgium and Israel, I am fluent in English, French and Hebrew, I’ve lived in London since 1984, setting up home and homeopathy practice in leafy Hampstead Garden Suburb, Northwest London.
