CEO and Founder

Past experience of Domestic Abuse personally; qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and supervisor; author; chair of West Suffolk Domestic Abuse Forum; experience working in mental health, substance misuse and DA.

Liz leads Alumah CIO, a trauma‑informed charity in West Suffolk, where she spends her days creating spaces where people feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. She’s passionate about helping children, young people, and adults rebuild their sense of worth and about supporting the professionals who walk alongside them. Her work blends lived experience, leadership, and a deep belief that healing happens in relationship.

In this conversation, Liz opens up about what trauma‑informed practice really looks like in everyday life not as a policy or a poster, but as a way of being with people. She shares stories, insights, and gentle truths about emotional safety, connection, and why small relational shifts can change everything.

What We’ll Explore Together

• How trauma shows up in real‑world interactions
• Why safety and connection matter more than any strategy
• What it takes to build a culture where people feel seen
• The heart behind Horizon and Curve, and why they were created
• Simple, human things we can all do to support others better

Gill, a qualified nurse of 50 years, says “a patient is not a patient, they are an individual with something wrong with them. Care is about looking after people in the whole – emotional as well as medical”

My passion has always been encouraging positivity and the right care/treatment for people and particularly those who are disenfranchised. I was trained to understand the needs and wants or individuals and what good care looks like. I have seen older people in their 90’s independent and categorised as not being able to make their own choices due to their age, same with people with learning disabilities and it makes me angry.

A nurse for 50 years with experience in paediatrics, cardiac and occupational health and still practicing.

Owner of Patients2People, focusing on independence and choice and particularly for older people and those with special needs.

First Executive Director of Nursing in the Ambulance Sector.

Well known for NHS services and finance turnaround by focusing on holistic care, technology and choice for people and priority to keep people at home.

Forced an Enquiry into the abuse and care of learning disabilities service in 1994, at huge personal cost.

Trained nurses in China, practice and encourage alternative and spiritual therapies.

Trainer and assessor with AB Health and Wellness.

What good care looks like and how it relates to holistic choices.

What I think is wrong in the system of health and care now.

Challenges for all of us encouraging holistic care.

What I am involved in with other partners and the importance of promoting each other in this arena including training and supply of services like a spider web string in its connections and beautiful to see!

Nena is an holistic podiatrist and seasoned Healthcare professional with over 40 years of experience.

Graduating in Foot Medicine; Podiatry & Chiropody. Her early NHS career was focused on treating people with complications of diabetes as a hospital Diabetic Foot Specialist. This involved a lot of wound care, dermatology, education and fighting to save limbs.

With a love of life long learning and curiosity Nena trained and incorporated Reflexology, Emotional freedom Technique EFT, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Foot Mobilisation, Red light and laser therapies into her Suffolk practice.

Nena is about to embark on a very exciting new journey by opening an

Energy Enhancement System Centre, the first in East Anglia.

What is my passion and why do this?

I always have and always will want to help people. It is who I am.

To help someone get out of pain and walk out of my clinic with a spring in their step or a smile is for me a moment of joy – Every time! It feels good to make someone’s day and the trust people place in me is humbling.

It is also fun and people are interesting. I have a 94 year old chap who after his treatment often exclaims “Oh good! Now I can run amok!”

I try to have balance in my work and life but it all tends to merge!

Growing organic food, flowers and plants with which to make lotions, potions and teas make me very happy. I need to put my hands in the soil or my bare feet on the ground every day. Grounding really is a thing – back to physics and discharging positive ions!

I make stained glass windows, travel to learn about art history and I go paddle boarding as often as possible in the warm weather.

I also have 3 dogs 3 chickens and 3 grown up children.

My very kind husband and co director of our company who keeps everything running smoothly while I go on my Campervan adventures.

Nena talks about

How when one part of the body ‘goes wrong’ it affects other parts. We are all joined up. Treating the whole person, from the feet up or head down because the whole body walks.

Always ask why? Diagnosis involves looking listening and hearing with the ears and the heart. The body talks and if we don’t listen we get sick.

Sometimes a quick fix and symptoms can be suppressed and made to go away using all kinds of interventions but often for true healing to take place it takes time and the removal of the cause.

Plants that grow around us are there for us to use. Natures pharmacy. Powerful free medicine! Garden weeds are awesome and full of goodness with amazing healing properties! Some good tips for feet.

The EE System, healing for body mind and spirit. Nikola Tesla said ”If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”
