The Buttafly Technique with Loulou James

Gentle realignment for natural back care and spine health. WHO IS LOULOU JAMES? Loulou James is a retired physiotherapist, yoga teacher, and spine health specialist. A chance discovery – using precise pelvic support with the Buttafly prop she originally designed as a simple yoga block and meditation seat – led to immediate spinal realignment and, within weeks, resolution of long‑standing symptoms. That insight evolved into the Buttafly Technique: a gentle, non‑invasive approach that works with the body’s innate intelligence to calm the nervous system and support natural healing. Loulou now teaches individuals and practitioners practical, safe protocols for natural back care and spine health. Why I do this Too many people are suffering needlessly. I believed in body wisdom, yet it wasn’t until the Buttafly Effect that I finally joined the dots: the spine has its own intelligence. After 30 years in physiotherapy, that realisation was shocking and transformative. I am committed to sharing with people how to engage that intelligence so they can experience natural back care and spine health gently and consistently, for themselves at home. This session introduces a gentle, practical way to engage your body’s wisdom for natural back care and spine health. Loulou shares the story behind the Buttafly Technique and how precise pelvic support can facilitate natural spinal realignment while calming the nervous system. We’ll unpack core principles—positioning and relaxation, and why this approach often avoids post‑treatment soreness. Attendees leave with clear, at‑home steps and guidance on when to seek practitioner support. *Loulou has been shortlisted for the Complimentary Medical Association’s “Innovation in Healthcare” award at this year’s Global Excellence Summit. LOULOU TALKS ABOUT: * The discovery: from a simple prop to immediate realignment * Working with the body’s innate intelligence: the craniosacral “still point” and nervous‑system calm (plain language) * Safety and consistency: protocols that avoid overwhelm and post‑treatment soreness * Common outcomes: relief from back pain/sciatica; improvements in posture, pelvic stability, neck alignment; adjunct to pelvic‑floor programmes like MUTU * How to get started at home: what you need, simple steps, and practitioner pathways CONTACT LOULOU: Website: https://thebuttafly.com [https://thebuttafly.com/] Learn the Buttafly Technique (programs and workshops): https://thebuttafly.com/the-buttafly-technique-for-a-healthy-spine [https://thebuttafly.com/the-buttafly-technique-for-a-healthy-spine] Book a 1:1 consultation (online): https://thebuttafly.com [https://thebuttafly.com/] Practitioner training and certification (protocols and safety): https://thebuttafly.com [https://thebuttafly.com/] Buy the Buttafly (Standard for the Technique): https://thebuttafly.com [https://thebuttafly.com/] Ebook — The Buttafly Technique: https://thebuttafly.com [https://thebuttafly.com/] Contact/Social: Instagram @the_buttafly [https://www.instagram.com/the_buttafly/] LinkedIn /in/louloujames [https://www.linkedin.com/in/louloujames/] YouTube @TheButtafly [https://www.youtube.com/@TheButtafly] Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.

Energy Moves with Fiona Winter

WHO IS FIONA WINTER? – Somatic Movement Educator, Embodied Facilitator and Coach. I have been facilitating, mentoring, coaching and training others for over 40 years. I specialise in holistic health and well being, movement and body awareness, personal development…..and having fun! Whenever I work with people either as individuals or a group, I start with where they are currently ‘at’ and focus on “what’s possible now and where can it lead to from here”. By combining music with natural movement, I offer the opportunity of both relaxation and invigoration. I aim to bring a creative, fun, yet grounded approach to everything I offer. I currently offer online classes for participants with MS, as well as online open Energy Moves classes. In person sessions are outdoors in Nature: Move in Nature and Dancing in the Dark for every Full Moon, as well as bespoke sessions for events, gatherings, festivals and projects. I work closely with Arts & Health and Mental health organisations. IN THE PODCAST FIONA SHARES: * How bringing our attention to what we sense can both help us move more AND honour how our body is in that moment. * How body awareness can help with changing how we move and how we are in our body. * How moving ‘our own way’ creates ownership and autonomy. *In the podcast try out some movements with Fiona that can be done seated or standing.

Grief As A Portal Of Deep Healing with Mani Hirani

WHO IS MANI HIRANI? Mani Hirani is the founder of The Veda Soul Company and a ceremonial guide who weaves cacao, sound, and sacred grid work to support deep inner alignment. After more than two decades in investment banking, Mani followed a calling toward healing and creative expression, training in cognitive hypnotherapy, shamanic energy healing, and vocal transmission. Her work invites people into embodied connection with their true essence through ceremony, art, and sacred space. A theme that has become central to my work is grief as a portal for healing. This comes from my own lived experience, where grief has been one of my greatest teachers. Often grief is something people around us don’t quite know how to hold, so we can feel pressure to rush through it or move away from it altogether. Yet when we allow it the space it asks for, grief can open a doorway to deep healing and transformation. Through ceremony, cacao, voice, and sacred space, I now support others in gently meeting those tender places within themselves. When grief is met with presence, compassion, and sacred space, it can become a powerful portal back to the heart. MANI TALKS ABOUT: * Grief as a portal for healing, and what it has taught me through my own lived experience * Why grief is often avoided in our culture, and the pressure many people feel to rush through it * Creating sacred space for grief through ceremony, cacao, voice, and presence * The journey from surviving loss to reconnecting with the heart * How honouring grief can open the doorway to deeper self-understanding and transformation CONTACT MANI Website www.thevedasoulcompany.com [https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.thevedasoulcompany.com/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1777301150655040&usg=AOvVaw1PnhAwyA0lZHRmjdrHQgXb] Facebook https://www.facebook.com/VedaSoulCompany [https://www.facebook.com/VedaSoulCompany] X https://x.com/vedasoulcompany [https://x.com/vedasoulcompany] YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@vedasoul [https://www.youtube.com/@vedasoul] Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vedasoulcompany [https://www.instagram.com/vedasoulcompany] Courses or programs – https://thevedasoulcompany.com/chakric-voyage [https://thevedasoulcompany.com/chakric-voyage] Ceremonies – https://thevedasoulcompany.com/cacao-ceremonies [https://thevedasoulcompany.com/cacao-ceremonies] Free resources – https://thevedasoulcompany.com/free-resources [https://thevedasoulcompany.com/free-resources] Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.

Health Retreats For Chronic Illness With Sally Beck

WHO IS SALLY BECK? Sally is a freelance national newspaper journalist, author and ghostwriter. Only one British newspaper has escaped her byline – The Guardian. Health is a driving interest. She has commissioned and edited alternative health books and in 2022 and 2023 organised two doctors’ conferences with dissenting medical experts. From the start of the pandemic, she questioned whether issues — including vaccine injury and regulatory oversight — were properly examined. While mainstream titles declined to pursue that perspective, The Conservative Woman has published around 170 of her articles. More recently, the Daily Mail has published two of her investigations into vaccine injury. SALLY TALKS ABOUT: I’m really keen to discuss health retreats that address serious chronic health issues. I’ve launched two retreats in Zanzibar, Deep Reset & Restore which is a clinical hypnotherapy retreat to address chronic stress, burnout, and living in survival mode. And Thyroid Wellness. Thyroid patients rarely get holistic care which means an endless round of specialist appointments, no discussion about nutrition or supplementation or the psychological drivers of thyroid dysfunction, or what to do if you don’t want to take the meds. The Thyroid Wellness retreat is suitable even if you’ve had your thyroid removed or partly removed or if you’ve developed a goitre. Here are brief details: DEEP RESET & RESTORE, focuses on the physiological imprint of chronic stress—working with the nervous system at a foundational level. Over nine restorative days, you’ll step away from the noise of everyday life and begin to recognise the survival patterns—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—that keep the body hypervigilant, depleted or shutdown. With expert guidance, this work becomes less about managing stress, and more about gently retraining your system towards safety, regulation, and a more sustainable energy. OUR TEN-DAY THYROID WELLNESS RETREAT takes a deeper approach to thyroid health by recognising that thyroid dysfunction is rarely the beginning of the story. In our experience, chronic stress is one of the most significant drivers of thyroid imbalance, and meaningful, lasting improvement is difficult to achieve without addressing the underlying stress burden on the body. The thyroid is often the final signal, not the first signal, that something is wrong. Symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, low mood, and hormonal disruption can reflect deeper imbalances that have developed over time. Rather than focusing solely on the thyroid itself, our holistic approach combines advanced biofeedback diagnostics with personalised care to identify potential root causes, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural capacity to heal.
