FriendsI first came across Nikki Slade and her Free the Inner Voice work back in 2003.
Thinking I was going to a workshop to improve my singing, I was disconcerted to find everyone there wearing tracksuit trousers and socks. Someone lent me a pair of tracksuit bottoms and they must have been the most unflattering garment I have ever worn! They were of course just perfect for leaving my ego at the entrance of the workshop!
Nikki s work is extremely powerful and Nikki herself is full of grace and humility. I wholeheartedly recommend her workshops for anyone who is looking to embrace their true selves.
Lula Lewis, who heads up LoveLula, is a wonderful example of someone who has found her passion.
Coming from a career as an accountant, Lula set up her organic apothecary less than two years ago and the website is already hugely successful as more and more of us seek organic alternatives for our beauty products. Lula is passionate about helping us to nurture ourselves from the inside out. I particularly love the lemongrass exfoliater that is so tasty and natural that you could literally eat it!!
The Feng Shui Society is THE official body for accredited Feng Shui consultants. Unfortunately as in any field, there are reports of “dodgy” consultants, some even well known authors on Feng Shui, where the client has been over charged or there has been little practical advice.
By only employing an accredited consultant, you are assured of a certain quality of service. I am currently on the Committee of the Feng Shui Society and I am also the co-ordinater of the North West region. Do keep an eye out for upcoming events where you can meet fellow Feng Shui enthusiasts!
Vicky Oliver of whyoga and yogabananas is an inspirational yoga teacher based in Surrey.
I first met Vicky when both our cars were towed away in London and we ended up sharing a cab together to the car lot! At the time I had been “asking the Universe” for a 121 yoga teacher!
Vicky runs exceptional retreats so do check out her website for details of the next one planned.
Passion for the Planet is an exciting radio station that combines world music with short interviews on subjects linked to looking after our planet and ourselves.
Chantal Cooke who heads up Passion for the Planet is another friend of mine who lives her passion! I originally met Chantal Cooke when a mutual friend recommended me to her as a Feng Shui consultant and we have stayed friends ever since. In fact I am so bowled over by Chantals passion and energy that Ive become an investor in her radio station! Click here to hear it now!
Sally Inkster heads up Diva Days and youve guessed it, here is another passionate person!
Divadays was set up by Sally and her friend Angela, both mothers with six children between them.
They provide innovative days out, where informative workshops are combined with good food and wines in a home environment.
Just the thing for a girls get together! Sally and Angela originally came to me for some business advice and I now count myself as one of their favourite workshop contributors, delivering workshops ranging from Feng Shui to Marketing your Business.
Peta is a gorgeous lady who made an impression on me at a local networking event.
She then attended one of my workshops before becoming a friend, and then I became one of her clients. Whilst Peta offers a whole range of beauty treatments I recommend her principally as a kinesiologist.
She has a wonderfully professional and yet compassionate manner and she really knows her stuff! Whether its physical, emotional , mental or spiritual , I can recommend Peta as an excellent facilitator for your healing.
Another lady of passion, Dawn heads up Flowcrete Ltd, a British flooring manufacturer with worldwide offices that has seen its turnover rise from £40million to £80 million in the last four years!
Dawn is an avid practitioner of Feng Shui, having used it in both her offices and in her company branding. A previous holder of the Veuve Cliquot Business Woman of the Year Award, she currently holds the position of International Ambassador for the Feng Shui Society.

This is the best touring caravan site in the UK! Then again I am biased, as it belongs to my mum! Established over 40 years ago, you are guaranteed a peaceful oasis away from children and it is close to the canal and the amenities of the historical city of Chester. My mother, who is passionate about recycling and saving our environment, has recently had solar heating installed.
So if you are thinking of doing the same, feel free to visit and explore!
I remember several years ago my sister, Louie, exclaiming that her dream would be to live in the country and to spend her time training dogs. Nowadays, her dream is now her reality, as her and her business partner, Jules, run an extremely successful dog training business in Petworth, East Sussex.
Another wonderful example of two people living their passion and earning a good income by helping others!
