springhill community house

Springhill Community House has been a pioneer of community education in West Belfast since 1972. Established by Fr Desmond Wilson the project is about helping people see their own potential. From its inception, the purpose of the ‘People’s School’, has and will continue to be about empowering people to take control of their own lives. This remains at the heart of what Springhill is about and involves tackling the apathy and frustration felt by individuals through programmes of personal development, life coaching, education, training, health awareness and confidence building. Our primary aim is to target and recruit the most disadvantaged individuals within our community and to support them improve their quality of life and wellbeing.

al ameen foundation

The opening sentence of the Kothari Commission said, "The destiny of India is now being shaped in her class-rooms." But if we give a close look to the practical situation, we observe a different scenario all together. But we can't let it go for a long time. As a result of the efforts made by a galaxy of lovers of education, prudent-dedicated-souls and philanthropists, the Al-Ameen Foundation came into being in 2001 to give a shape to the dreams of a long-felt necessity to impart value based quality education to the pupils of the far- flung neglected areas where the rays of education have not entered into due to lack of proper academic facilities.

yolande yoga and birth

Yolande’s first introduction to yoga was back in 1994, when a friend took her along to the local sports centre, to explore what this ancient form of “exercise” had to offer. The class was full and felt and smelt nice. A waft of incense and the subtle background sounds of Indian chants welcomed them in and she was kind of already sold at this point. The teacher a wonderful women called Sharon, from the sivinananda linage, spoke softly and taught various breathing techniques and body postures, that left her feeling strong and relaxed at the same time. She returned each week, and yoga has been Yolande’s bedrock ever since. Over the years Yolande has felt privileged to have spent time with many great teachers, all offering their own perspectives and experiences of yoga which have inspired, and paved the path for her own healing and transformation. After many years of practicing Yolande went on to study with Katy Appleton of appleyoga in London for her 200hr Yoga Teaching certificate, so she could go on to teach her passion, pregnancy yoga. Yolande studied pregnancy and postnatal yoga with Nadia Narain at Triyoga in London and as an Active Birth Teacher with Janet Balaskas. Yolande has also been supporting women and their partners as a birth doula since 2013. Having established a teaching practice the call to study deeper lead her to Rishikesh, India to study with Akhanda Yoga, under the guidance of Yogrishi Vishvketu, and complete 300hr Advanced Yoga Teaching certification and was given her spiritual name Jeevika Devi.

curran coaching

I would not change anything about the sessions. I think it was very helpful that everyone was working on their own presentations throughout the programme, so we could support each other and give valuable feedback. I liked the atmosphere a lot, it was a “safe space” , fun and productive.” — GILEAD SCIENCES “My presentation could not have gone better! I truly enjoyed it and felt like I was ‘a natural’. This was not always like that. I worked with Nicky on various occasions. She is an excellent public speaking coach. She is confident, supportive and professional. She helped me to figure out how to tell the story and gain confidence when presenting. I could not be more grateful!” — NHS CONSULTANT “I attended all sessions and found it to be very helpful. The sessions presented by Nicky were very well laid out and very interactive. She made you feel at ease and provided useful and critical feedback. The recording of our presentations was extremely helpful and eye opening... The tool kit and especially the storyboard layout she provided is something that will be adopted and will steer my future presentations.” — VP ASSET MANAGER “I can’t recommend this course highly enough. As someone who felt fairly confident with presenting and preparing for presentations, I was keen to understand how I could further develop my confidence and deal with my main issues of ‘pausing and pacing’. The storyboard concept is fantastic and really created a ‘lightbulb moment’ for me - again something I will use is many aspects of my job, not just presenting. A definite 10/10!

Entrepreneur, Content Creator and Author - Contrary to most entrepreneurs, I did not have a rough start growing up, however I did not have a silver spoon in my mouth either. I always had been entrepreneurial, however I struggled with creating a consistent income in order to support myself. After attending Uni, I bounced around multiple jobs. I worked at Apple and as one of their top sales people, they even had me teach groups of 90+ employees on how to deal with customers. Despite my success, I felt like I needed to get a "real career" so, I went into the corporate sales workforce, and quickly grew tired of the early mornings, long train rides, and constant repetition of the same bloody tasks. It was around this time that I discovered Amazon FBA and launched my first couple of products, I was still working my corporate 9-5 and would check my sales during lunch breaks and during my trips to the bathroom. Eventually, I was generating consistent results, so I decided to quit my job and go full time with FBA. After many months of my sales increasing, other people I knew who were doing FBA came to me asking for advice and mentorship. It dawned on me, why don't I create a full academy where I train students on how to get results with FBA? This was the start of the Seller Pro Academy, and since it's launch we have seen multiple students break 6 figures a year, which truly humbles and broadens my goals. I hope to see you inside the academy and hopefully to be apart of our 10K club!

Being different wasn’t easy for me. I grew up in a school and feared going in every day. I would get called names and my glasses would be thrown from person to person while I tried to catch them!! I was tall, I was skinny, and I didn’t have the same colour skin like them. I was in a predominantly white school, with only a handful of Asians and no Black people at all. I stuck out like a sore thumb!! I hated it!! I did whatever I could to try and fit in and blend into the crowd. There were many times where I cried myself to sleep. The wanting of belonging was heavy in my heart. As you can imagine this affected me growing up. Growing up I barely had a voice, or an opinion on anything. My self esteem was so low, I hated the way I looked, and most of all I hated being at the centre of attention. The years passed and I got married at the age of 22. I thought I had it all, a home, a husband and my beautiful little boy. I could put the past behind me. This all came crashing down when the relationship with my husband came to an end. I moved back in with my parents and went through 4 years of battling the court system over our young boy. I was made out to be an unfit mother who couldn’t be capable of looking after our son. I became really down, I mean really down!!….. I suffered from panic attacks and depression, and really hated myself, and my life. I remember one day driving my car and all of a sudden I had to pull over!! My eyes had become hazy and I couldn’t see properly, my breathing became shallow and my chest was hurting! I could feel the panic rising as I dialed my dad’s number to come and get me from the side of the road. I felt broken, completely shattered both mentally and physically. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me and that I needed to be fixed! The day came, I remember it so clearly. I was in the kitchen after putting my son to bed. I was just about to take my depression medication and something inside of me just flipped, like a light switch. I could hear a voice in my head very clearly. This is not my life, this is not how I am supposed to live. I took action. I threw the pills in the bin, ( I don’t recommend this unless you speak with your GP) and said enough is enough, no one can change things for me, I have to do this myself! At that point I became determined to change my life around and I would do anything I needed to do to get myself better. That day I googled stress and panic attacks, and days that followed I read more and more. I could see I wasn’t the only one suffering. I started to see a glimmer of hope. I came across a Kundalini yoga DVD called Stress and Detox, the teacher had the same name as me, Maya, so I saw it as a sign that I needed to give this a go. I had tried yoga before but this was something so different on many levels. It was weird, she did some funny breathing and chanted words I didn’t understand but I kept an open mind and continued. I felt different, I felt better than I had done in ages. After practicing consistently for a few weeks I remember telling my friend I felt like I was drunk without the alcohol. I was getting high on life, and I was beginning to see a way out. This was my journey of how I found Kundalini Yoga. Over the years, I discovered I had a lot of health issues due to stress, I had no idea that stress could do this to my body. I thought stress was just all in the head. How wrong was I! My digestive system was way off track, I had become intolerant to so many foods. I suffered from severe lower back pain for years, where I had to take pain killers most nights. I also suffered with UTI’s pretty much every other week, and horrific migraine attacks where I would be bed bound at least 8 – 10 days a month, they were so painful and I was unable to function at all. As well as Kundalini yoga ( the yoga of awareness) I worked with Ayurvedic practices (an ancient health care tradition from India dating back over 5,000 years.) It’s where you work with your mind/ body type to bring yourself back into balance. I also practiced Mindfulness, and Art therapy. I found peace by being creative, it took my mind off the worry, it brought me joy to see the things I created, and I still love it now. I learnt to slow down my breathing and my overactive mind, and my body started to follow, relax and heal itself. All these practices and experiences of life have made me who I am today! I wouldn’t change it for anything now. I have learnt so much from these experiences and now I can help other people in similar situations. I know going through divorce was hard and at the time I couldn’t see an end. However, it gave me a new lease of life, a new sense of freedom. To live life on my terms and I love it! I remarried and have an amazing relationship with my husband, whom I truly love and trust. I can completely be myself, I do not have to pretend to be someone who I am not. My son is living between both houses. He is now 15 and l love spending time with him and love his big squeezy hugs when I can get them out of him. And the ex husband is still in the picture and is a great dad to our son. From a life that I hated, to a life that I love! I know once I took back control of my life and made my choices consciously, everything changed for me. This allowed me to set my boundaries and move forward step by step. It wasn’t easy but I did it. This process allowed me to create my life rather than to let life happen to me. If I can deal with a marriage ending, and child custody battle through the courts, that resulted in me being at my lowest point, ever! The stress, the anxiety, the health issues and the feeling of being helpless, incapable and unhappy, then you can too. This is why I do what I do. I love to help people feel better, feel better in their mind, their physical body, help them to connect and learn to love themself. And uplift their soul. It gives me great pleasure to see them smile and actually know it’s for real, and it’s coming from deep within the heart. This is why I call myself the Conscious Change Creator. I am here to help you create change consciously.

cheryl hawkins

Great and necessary course for anyone working with young people. Cheryl is an excellent instructor. Thank you! Excellent use of personal stories to help use as examples to explain the different types of mental health. Cheryl was patient and supportive with technical glitches. Useful having her phone number to text. Cheryl was knowledgeable and gave us confidence in our approach to a young person in crisis in the way we can try to help and support them. The course was informative, and I found the individual learning actives and tasks accompanied with the teaching worked extremely well. The videos provided were engaging and remained focussed on the topic. I particularly felt Cheryl dealt with some of the topics that were difficult, with a high level of sensitivity and care. There was briefing prior to some of the topics. I would have possibly liked a debrief however I believed the course was excellent and I feel it will be so important for my organisation in supporting with our service users. It has now prompted me to continue further learning around mental health and building on what I have learnt from the course. Thanks to Cheryl again for her delivery of the course and demonstrating her passion. Really enjoyable and engaging course...really useful for me going forward The course is very good at highlighting all the different aspects of mental health. it doesn't just talk about depression but all the other areas that affect young people. The videos were very good and engaging. Especially the personal testimonies. The website is very well presented and the lessons run very well on this platform. Thanks so much, Cheryl. This has been invaluable Really useful thank you. Even late on a Thursday evening it has been very accessible, informative and great to network with fellow carers too Fantastic course - really interesting and it is great to be able to access it from home. Really enjoyed the break out rooms and being able to discuss aspects of the course. It is very thought provoking and helped me to look at support for mental health from a new perspective Excellent! Cheryl was a brilliant instructor during the course and I felt re-assured and supported by her. The online sessions were very informative and teamwork was really nicely encouraged by Cheryl. The content of the course is extremely valuable and the book will be a very helpful resource for me on a longer term. I'm confident that I will be able to use my knowledge to support my own child and other young people in the future. Thank you so much Cheryl!

‘I don’t remember where I lost myself but I do when I chose to be found’ This is how my story begins in the international best seller ‘Reclaiming your Midlife Mojo’ It has been said that owning your story is the most powerful thing you can do. That I agree with, all be it, vulnerably uncomfortable! For you here’s a little back story … For YEARS I was in survival mode Forever juggling, lost in the to do list, functioning but not LIVING My life was a performance. I was an actress & a good one Playing an extrovert when I am an introvert Out going, out there, when my soul was crying for solitude The signs were all there, all masked and ignored I hid the pain, the deep rotted sadness, stuffed them down, to grow roots those roots go so deep that I was literally ‘rooted’ … forced to stop, nothing left, light out & in truth wanted out. A presence greater than me lifted me that day and life began to change It was the wake up call I needed to stop blocking, hiding and running and to come home to me. It was not an easy or comfortable journey but one I would do again in a heart beat. That was 8 years ago. Since that day I followed the cosmic bread crumbs and trusted where I was guided I bought a caravan by the sea, trained in yoga, hired (my ‘first’ ) coach, became a coach, and continued to learn/ certify/invest in healing modalities/ trainings that felt like a YES in my body. Everything I share is tried, tested, integrated and embodied. I am a walking testimonial of the healing power of diving INTO the SHADOWS to alchemise them to LIGHT
