    Recovery Through Motherhood with Charlotte Henderson

    Who is Charlotte Henderson?Charlotte Henderson is a perinatal safeguarding advocate, birth doula and professional trainer. Known as The Dependency Doula, she works at the intersection of maternity, addiction recovery and safeguarding — bringing lived experience and professional expertise to support women and families navigating systems that too often fail them. Charlotte Henderson is a perinatal safeguarding advocate, birth doula and educator with lived experience of addiction, recovery and the systems that claim to protect women and families. Charlotte talks about:In this episode, Charlotte shares her personal story — navigating the maternity and recovery systems during her first pregnancy with little support and significant multi-agency collusion working against her, and then, three years into her recovery, being reported by the NHS after her second birth for exercising her legal right not to engage them — while her daughter lay critically ill in intensive care as a result of their negligence. She now uses that experience alongside her professional expertise to help other women and families navigate the medical and safeguarding systems where either “too much, too soon” or “too little, too late” seems to be the norm. How multi-agency collusion operates in maternity and safeguarding — and what it looks like from the insideThe legal rights women have that professionals routinely fail to disclose and how they translate into real outcomes How to document, communicate and self-advocate when the system is working against youWhy “too much, too soon” and “too little, too late” are two sides of the same systemic failureWhat recovery through motherhood could look like Contact Charlotte –Instagram: @thedependencydoula Facebook: facebook.com/TheDependencyDoula (I don’t have many followers on here yet, but it’s worth adding) Website: thedependencydoula.com (still under construction,but will be ready well in time for the podcast) The Conduit — professional training for birth workers, launching September 2026 https://1drv.ms/b/c/6912fcd0fc4395ea/IQAy-C0ADvNSTLYZs5IO19XbAf6doFFyz_DWoak1re4X3k0 Telegram: https://t.me/TheDependencyDoulaChannel (again, haven’t used it much, but useful for the freedom movement crowd) To book a free consultation just email me: charlotte@thedependencydoula.com *Join us live on the next podcast here, talk to your favourite guests https://painfreedom.co.uk/the-positive-future-for-health-podcast/ Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.

    No Child Needs to Fail: Rethinking SEND, Anxiety & Education with Peter Fekete

    Who is Peter Fekete?Peter Fekete is the founder of Black’s Academy, an educational organisation focused on helping children overcome learning delays, reduce anxiety and achieve their academic potential. His work challenges the idea that some children are destined to struggle or fail within education. Drawing on Black’s Academy’s experience and a growing body of case studies, Peter argues that many of the problems surrounding SEND and educational failure are not inevitable. He believes that with the right individualised approach, learning difficulties can be remediated, confidence restored and children given the opportunity to succeed. Peter talks about:The growing crisis in UK education and SEND provision, why increasing numbers of children are struggling, and why conventional approaches may be failing to address the underlying problem. He explores the rise in anxiety among young people, the growing financial and social cost of SEND, and the increasing number of young people becoming NEET – not in education, employment or training. Most importantly, Peter explains why he believes this is a man-made crisis that can be solved, and why no child needs to be written off as a failure. Talking pointsThe UK education and SEND crisis – what is going wrong and why the situation is likely to deepen.Why anxiety and learning difficulties are increasing – and whether the way we educate children is contributing to the problem.The rise of NEETs – who they are, why young people are becoming disconnected from education and employment, and why this affects the whole of society.The true cost of educational failure – the impact on children and families, as well as the wider economic and social consequences.Why government may not solve the problem – and why Peter believes a different, personalised approach to learning could provide a way forward.No child needs to fail – how Black’s Academy aims to remediate learning delays, reduce stress and help students achieve the grades and confidence they are capable of.

    Healing with Herbs with Elle Chaska

    About Elle ChaskaMy first exposure with plant spirit medicine was 2003, when I went to the jungle of Peru to work with the deeply humble Shipibo shamans. That sparked a lifetime interest in plant spirit shamanism and soon I became particularly interested in working with the spirits of the plants here in my ancestral land of the United Kingdom and started befriending them as allies, teachers and guides. As well as a deep plant based knowledge bank garnered through both experience and trainings in both shamanic, intuitive and medical herbalism, I have experience working as an addiction counsellor using CBT based methods and as a meditation teacher. I am Master Sekhem and Reiki Energy healer, and work both crystal and sound healing into my offerings. I am also a medicine singer/songwriter weaving the songs inspired by plants and the ceremony of life into my offerings Elle talks about: 🌿What is plant spirit shamanism 🌿How plants heal beyond the mere physical 🌿How plants want to express themselves through us 🌿How music has been fundamental to my exploration of plants Contact Elle: Website https://www.therainbowportal.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/therainbowportal/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/eleanor.chaska Youtube, songs that heal, herbs, foraging, woodland retreats and more.. https://www.youtube.com/@ellechaska Talks are hosted by Althea Finch at The PainFree Method, how to be pain free by tuning into you.

    Frequency Medicine with Siobhan Mackenzie

    Who is Siobhan?Siobhan came to frequency medicine by a circuitous route. While working in the field of writing and research, Siobhan met her partner, who was electrosensitive, and discovered that, A, it was quite a common problem, and B, she could make EMF protective clothing for her partner, and also sell it to others. That business started in 2019 and took off during the lockdown. Increasingly, however, Siobhan was nagged by the misgiving that just wrapping yourself in protective clothing or shielding your house was not enough, and more needed to be done to make the body more resilient to the increasing electrosmog in our environment. With her partner, Kit, Siobhan began to look more closely at the beneficial frequencies she knew existed, and found that there were several machines that could help with resilience, but also much more than that. The Frequency Medicine Centre is the result of over 3 years of learning and study, which is always ongoing, as there is so much more to know. My partner and I founded Frequency Medicine Centre in Glastonbury. This year we opened a second centre in Basingstoke and a pop up in Bridport. We will be opening another centre in Weston Super Mare soon. This concept is entirely community focused, and the business model does not follow an old paradigm. We run the centres as Private Members Associations. It begins with the community, and people who are guided or inspired to learn about frequency healing for themselves can become volunteers. The volunteers take advantage of the machines to begin their own healing journey as part of the volunteer package. Their personal experience is both a learning curve for them and becomes a way to inspire others. Any profit is both shared and used to expand. Our vision is to have affordable frequency medicine for as many people as possible. We want to work with others who are interested in having their own centre among their own alternative groups. We want to help them get started. So many people are becoming disenchanted with, and leaving the NHS, and seeking an alternative. Many of the private alternatives are just too expensive for the average person, especially if they need intensive care in their journey. We encourage health sovereignty, which means taking control of your own health and educating yourself. We help facilitate that journey by offering wellness solutions and continuing to improve our own knowledge so we can share our wisdom, or signpost to those who are more knowledgeable. We are building a library of alternative healing books in our centres. Glastonbury has the biggest library with an eclectic mix of volumes on many aspects of health, nutrition, and alternative viewpoints. Siobhan talks about:How we started, from EMF shielding to resilience and wellbeing.What devices we use and new developments.Health sovereignty and what it means for us all.
