Julie-Anne Griffith

Director Equi-Scotia CIC and Founder of Balanced Strategy Solutions  

Julie-Anne began her working life as a British Horse Society accredited instructor in the mid- eighties when she founded her own successful horse-riding centre whilst still in her teens. 

A brush with cancer in 2007 provides first-hand experience of the inextricable link between physical and mental health and underpins Julie-Anne’s a clear focus on supporting well-being in individuals and organisations. 

Since 2011 she has run her own practice as a strategy facilitator, which was launched through requests for support from fellow delegates on the Scottish Enterprise Rural Leadership programme.   

She’s a senior practitioner level business and executive coach, a trainer for Ofsted and SQA accredited Mental Health First Aid qualifications and holds a Diploma in Coaching Supervision from the International Centre for Coaching Supervision.

Julie-Anne’s leadership of horse related projects resulted in her receiving numerous awards since 2010 from Horse Scotland, the British Horse Society, Businesswomen Scotland, and Riding for the Disabled.

There is evidence that interacting with horses can have a healing effect on humans, including improving mental health, reducing stress, and helping with physical disabilities: 

• Mental health

Equine therapy can help with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and disordered eating. It can also help with addiction recovery by promoting responsibility, discipline, and self-reflection. 

• Stress

Being around horses can reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and lower the amount of cortisol (stress hormones) in the body. It can also increase endorphins, which can make people feel good. 

• Physical disabilities

Riding can help with balance and coordination, and people with conditions like cerebral palsy or those recovering from accidents have reported physical improvements. 

Other ways that horses can help people heal include: 

• Companionship: Horses can provide companionship and help people create a daily routine 
• Meeting ne

Dr Becky Howie is a medical doctor with 20 years of experience and has been a GP for the last 15 of these years. 

Throughout her career, she has observed a decline in the general physical and mental health of her patients, despite the huge advances in medical science. 

About 10 years ago, after observing this trend and seeing illness in her own family, she embarked on a journey to learn more about how our lifestyle impacts our health, well-being, energy and longevity. As a scientist at heart, she was keen to understand the evidence behind it all. She went on to become a board licensed Lifestyle Medicine doctor, and has since incorporated this learning into her day-to-day NHS practice. She introduced group consultations in menopause and made lifestyle discussions an integral part of consultations. 

Her passion lies in assisting mid-life patients and clients with their health and wellbeing. Becky has now founded her own business, Maldod Life, to provide clients with an opportunity to improve their health and well-being in a supportive and empowering environment.

Andrea Edmondson

Andrea Edmondson has been an educator and consultant for 30 years working in London, New York, Brussels, Washington DC, Houston and now back in the U.K. The experience of teaching in inner London and six international moves with four children taught her about the powerful impact of stress on wellbeing. Her personal struggle with burnout fuelled her journey to find ways to take charge of her wellbeing, improve her health and enhance her resilience.

Andrea’s comprehensive search for easy to use, evidenced based solutions, lead her to the explore the role of the nervous system and brain. She has used a Polyvagal lens since 2016 and she believes a neurobiological approach offers a rich, nuanced framework that can be easily applied in a wide range of settings.

Andrea believes that forward thinking leaders, coaches and educators are the pioneers who will transform our society from one that ignores the brain and nervous system to one that learns its mechanisms thereby enhancing their own wellbeing and lives of others.

NeuroSmart Learning was created to drive this transformation, to empower leaders, coaches, and educators to understand the nervous system and brain and to equip them with the skills to navigate challenges, and foster environments that promote psychological safety, trust and collaboration.
 
Andrea works with individuals, teams, and organisations from a variety of sectors, including, health care, education, technology, oil and gas, construction and law.

Damon

My name is Damon and my passion and focus is Health & Wellbeing. I’m a Certified Coach, a Wim Hof Method Instructor, a Brain Cancer Survivor Turned Thriver and I'm looking to change my corner of the world.

I would love to take you on a journey that shows you how to take more control of your mind, body and soul.

For me, mindset is everything. It helped me turn a brain tumour diagnosis into my super power.

I’ve experienced what’s it’s like to go from zero to hero. This was a powerful transformational moment for me. The thing is, nothing had actually changed, however, everything had changed. What had changed was my mindset, my belief system, how I was perceiving and interpreting the world. I felt empowered, excited, resourceful and like I had choices.

Because of my experience, I want to help other people make that shift and transformation to believing in themselves and believe that absolutely anything is possible.

Are you ready to shift your mindset, heal and grow stronger and find your super power too?

Together we can do this. Together we are stronger.

Sharon Keaney

Sharon Keaney is the Chief Operating Officer at Willbe; a Biohacking business based in the UK who are redefining the solutions - not just conversation - around perimenopause and menopause.

Like many in the health space Sharon’s path to health and where she is right now is far from a straight one.  It began in 2012 following a transformative health journey, during which she lost over 12 stone in just 7 months. 

But, the story extends far beyond this.

In our conversation we cover everything from life before keto, work-life balance during her city years (or not!), challenges with weight, back injuries, pain and mental health, relationships, and of course the importance of a self-commitment to health - regardless of your starting point - as well as her recent career change.

Sharon's notable career trajectory spans her early years on the trading floors of several large investment banks in London and scaling a private investment firm to over $10 billion in trading revenue annually before working with therapy and personal development leaders such as Marisa Peer, and training with luminaries like Tony Robbins and Richard Bandler. 

Prior to the pandemic, Sharon also established her own health consulting business and in 2018, she launched the UK's first hospital radio show dedicated to mental health in collaboration with Radio Brockley, The Disability Foundation Charity, and The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in NW London.

More recently Sharon is a founding member of Willbe; the biohacking business who see Perimenopause as a woman's biggest health opportunity in 2024.

I am confident that this discussion will resonate with many.
