The Founders

 

Roberto Valeri

Roberto was born, raised and educated in Italy. At 17 years old, he decided to leave his country to escape a dysfunctional family that had wrecked his childhood.

Having got a degree in Hotel Management, he came to the UK to start a career in the hotel industry. His family had chosen his occupation for him. What he really wanted to do was an arts degree.

He started out in MacDonalds and worked in the industry until he became a Front House Manager in a leading hotel chain. But something wasn’t quite right. For many years he didn’t sleep properly at night thinking that he was unfulfilled.

He enrolled on a massage course in order to distract himself from the confusion and the pain of doing something he felt he wasn’t born to do.

After enjoying the first part of the course, he decided to go all the way through and become a therapist. This journey led him to a volunteer project working with HIV and AIDS sufferers.

It was then he realised that through his physical and emotional touch, he could reach the souls of so many people lost in the darkness of their condition. Without really realising what he was doing, he helped them find a little spark of light at the and of their tunnel.

He discovered that this was finally making his heart sing! Touching people’s souls and helping them find the courage and strength to fight back and find their way forward.

So after living securely in the corporate world, Roberto embarked on his journey into spiritual and physical healing.

Roberto’s making more changes in his own life and facing more challenges in his personal and professional life in order to demolish other emotional and psychological obstacles so that he could help others to do the same.

His complementary skills encompass a number of different disciplines:
Aromatherapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Remedial, Deep Tissue and Pregnancy Massage, Reiki, NLP

 

Jude Meadows

Like many people Jude didn’t have the most straightforward of childhoods.

In later years it translated itself in to binge eating, starving, a brief foray in bulimia and years of alcohol abuse. Happily all this is behind her now. She hopes that in some way she can help others stop the cycle of self-abuse.

Jude spent over twenty years working in the IT industry, latterly running the PC divisions for Compaq and Hewlett Packard. She enjoyed her work but it wasn’t really what she wanted to do. She had just fallen into her career and it took off. And she soared higher and higher.

She became more and more restless and finally got burnt out. The death of her mother and learning how to meditate had increased her feeling of yearning for more in life on deeper spiritual level. So she took a leap of faith and jumped ship.

She didn’t know what she wanted to do. She just knew that it needed to be something completely different and to be of value.

So what did she do?

  • Became a Reiki Practitioner and Master
  • Qualified as an NLP Practitioner
  • Took a massage course (where she met Roberto)
  • Helped friends set up an organic aromatherapy internet site
  • Pursued her interest in psychic development and mediumship skills
  • Ran a successful consultancy business in internal communications and executive coaching
  • Created FabCircle with Roberto
  • Is studying animal communication
