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.
