AME’s TeaM
I work with a small number of collaborators who make sure that A Mindful Escape is the best it can ever be for its clients.
Why collaborate? When I deliver corporate workshops or private group workshops, I want to ensure that the needs of the group can be fully met. This means mind, body, soul and emotion. My philosophy is that all these aspects need to work together in order for an experience to be truly transformational in the long run.
This is why I partner up with practitioners who have complimentary practices to mine. In this way, a workshop can cater for a truly holistic experience. I have spent a long time finding each individual, making sure they are amazing at what they do with their craft but also warm, empathetic, relatable and interesting to spend time with.
Meet the people who make every experience unforgettable.
Deyana
FOUNDER, COACH, CBT PRACTITIONER
I created AME after working in the travel industry for 15 years, running a number of training and development workshops and leading large teams in London. I have always cared about people, their experiences and trying to make the world a slightly better places for the people I met on my way. I focus on empathy, intuition and years of working with different types of people, personalities and challenges. We all walk tough paths in our life time. Those are the times we need a little extra help, a friendly shoulder to cry on, a structure someone can give us to get us through the day. This is why I created A Mindful Escape. I wanted to help people in those moments with my knowledge, methodology and empathy.
I am a certified CBT, Psychology and Life coach.

I don’t believe I have all the answers and I definitely am no guru, as this path is a lifelong journey. What I bring to the table is my raw experience, the theory of everything I have learnt and the skills I practised as a therapist for the past 9 years. I bring the understanding of the path to healing, having undergone it myself. Solenn specializes in breath work, aromatherapy, family constellations therapy and other.
