Chelle Herron - Business Manager and Therapist	Hello, I head up the Essence of Life team and I am a Complementary Medicine Practitioner specialising in stress, depression and back problems. I have a commercial background in sales and marketing and used complementary medicine as a stress reliever.  A keen interest to learn more led me to gaining a Holistic Therapies Diploma in 2000 and I began to provide private consultations alongside my day job.  In 2005, I was approached by a number of companies to deliver corporate health days as freelancer and I undertook a BSc in Complementary Medicine and Health Sciences.  I headed up this team in 2009 and was delighted to win a New Business Award earlier this year. The next steps have been to set up a foundation as a facilitator to improve the health and wellbeing of hard to reach individuals. I am also undertaking pilot research on a number of corporate health issues.

Hello I'm Carla Love and I am a Holistic Therapist. After 8 years of teaching I knew it was not the career for me, so I followed my heart and re-trained as a therapist. At present, I practice Aromatherapy, Swedish and Sports Massage, Indian Head Massage, Tibetan Acupressure Massage, Reflexology, Reiki and Russian Honey Cupping Massage.

I'm Eileen, after working for many years in unfulfilling jobs I decided to return to college to learn something new. I originally trained as a beauty therapist, then went on to train in complementary therapies. I qualified in aromatherapy, swedish and hot stone massage and reflexology. Since that time I have taken various short courses and have worked with the elderly and in local hospices. This had led me to Reiki, which has opened up a fulfilling and rewarding path, were I am learning all the time. Beauty therapy is a significant part of my career but complementary therapies is were my passion really lies.	Awaiting Photo - Therapist
Life Coach - Awaiting Picture	Hi I am Jeff Weigh, a coach who helps people change the way they think. When people change the way they think they change the result. My areas of expertise lie in helping businesses to develop and indivduals to grow. I also write a regular blog for Rise and Shine which is featured on The Training Zone. A husband and Dad, I am also a keen fundraiser and this year I completed my first marathon - The London Marthon in April.
I have always had an interest in holistic therapies and with the help of Crystal Therapy, Reiki and Reflexology, I gave birth to a beautiful daughter Lily Bluebell in 2005.  Rather than return to my role as a Personal Assistant I chose to change career and studied Aromatherapy Massage, Indian Head Massage, Infant Massage, Colour and Crystal Therapy plus Reiki to Master Level.  I have also spent time training as a counsellor to continue to add to my qualifications to benefit my clients and their wellbeing.  The most rewarding aspect of my role is helping people help themselves and the community work that I do.

Monika Dabrowska - Therapist	My name is Monika Dabrowska and prior to moving to the UK I was a Physiotherapist in Poland. I have always been attracted to Alternative Medicine and self-healing methods especially discovering the secrets of the human mind, how the psychological can affect the physiological.

My life affirmation is 'I am blessed today and each day with success and prosperity'.
Hi, I am Sonia and I developed a keen interest in complementary therapies in 2002 whilst working as an administration clerk and instantly became hooked on a Reflexology book that a colleague brought into the office.  I have since become qualified in Advance Reflexology, Swedish Body Massage, Indian Head Message, Hot Stone Therapy, Hopi Ear Candles & Reiki. Whilst practising, I attend various courses to keep my skills and knowledge updated, increasing the benefits of the therapies to the client.  I also enjoy the palliative care I provide on a voluntary basis at the hospice. The learning is an endless journey which is fulfilling and rewarding.	Sonia Woodward - Therapist
