Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that will elevate every aspect of your life? Align and Shine is a unique course designed to help you balance and align your mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and ancestral dimensions. This is not just another workshop; it’s a holistic experience that will guide you toward clarity and purpose.

This Winter Retreat Day was launched intentionally on this date as it is a great day to align yourself. Saturday 25th January, 2025, is a very exciting, energetic and healing day where all 7 planets are in alignment and this can be seen from the sky. This Transformative Full Day Event will be held in Belfast from 10.00am to 5.00pm.

Retreat Days are usually solely hosted by Annette Burke. Many people ask Annette on a daily basis “Who do you go to for help?” - Annette has a network of powerful individuals who she leans that are all powerful healers who have been doing the “work” for a lifetime. At the minute, the internet is filled with “specialists” but the ones who have been doing it for a lifetime may not shout about it on the internet. Some of these individuals will be guest speakers at this event and will be sharing their great wisdom and knowledge of healing. This event will include some talks, some practical, some meditations and exercises to get you aligned on all of your bodies: the emotional, physical, mental, ancestral, and the spiritual.

Over the next seven days we are going to announce a speaker to let you know a little bit about them. For this week only as we are announcing each speaker, we are offering this Retreat Day at a discounted rate of £99 (Normal price £125).

Annette Burke

Annette is the founder of Bodytap whose motto is “Heal Your Roots: Grow Your Wings” and January is the perfect time to find out where your wings are going to take you this year.

Annette will be sharing various techniques centered around Family Constellation, Ancestral Healing, and EFT Tapping. After the holiday season, when we have spent considerable time with our family members, this becomes an excellent opportunity to begin unraveling the intricate dynamics that exist within the family unit.

Be Seen, Be Heard - The keys to Shine in 2025

Dr Margaret Corrigan

Dr. Margaret began her career as a dedicated Physician. Now, she primarily works remotely with her clients in a unique holistic healing approach. Her schedule remains packed largely because she comes highly recommended through personal referrals and word of mouth, yet you will not find her on any social media platforms. Margaret reminds me somewhat of Mercury, one of the smallest planets in terms of size, yet her essence is characterized by a quicksilver quality that is both fast-moving and constantly evolving. She truly is a unique healing force with exceptional abilities. We are genuinely excited that she has agreed to participate in this event. This is going to be one powerful day.

Elaine Douglas

Elaine is the founder of The Nourished Sprout. Below is a list of qualifications and memberships but to keep it simple - she is a GUT specialist. I have attended her fermentation courses, her microbiome talks and tasted her delicious, nutritious treats. She is a dedicated holistic nutritionist and truely lives by what she teaches. I have known Elaine for 30 years and nutrition and health has always been her key focus. Elaine is a member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). She’s also a certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, adhering to the gold standards set by the UK and International Health Coaching Association (UKIHCA). If you have gut issues - this is the woman to have a chat with on the day

Shauna Gibson

Shauna Gibson is probably the most qualified person I know around food and body I can’t think of any course or qualification around food, mood, body that she has not achieved. She has also helped coach thousands of people on healing their relationship with food, body image and movement. She uses all the latest research and evidence based practices with her clients and runs a busy private practice in Belfast. She co-founder of the successful Intuitive Eating Hub whose mission it is to empower woman to heal and take back control from diet culture. This is facilitated through their online programmes, workshops memberships and retreats. I am thrilled to have Shauna, share some of her wisdom with you all at the align and shine event.

Una McElroy

Una McElroy is a grief counsellor and has sat with, listened to and created space for so many at their “end of life” journey. She has sat with people at the end of their sickness, through natural causes of old age and many hundreds of people during her time at Samaritans. Having spoke with Una on many occassion about life and death, she brings calm and peace to the grieving process. Once again, Una will not be found on social media.She works in the background, helps those who are in the winter stage of their life. Her profound wisdom around death and grieving is so uplifting.  She is also a relexologist and works her healing magic through the feet.

Karina Todd

Karina Todd is my longest friend having met in primary school - she is a woman’s coach, corporate trainer, speaker & NI’s only Hypnomenopause practitioner. Karina works for Over the Bloody Moon which is the world’s largest collective of menopause, andropause, and menstrual health experts. Karina educates & empowers women going through the menopause. As women journey through their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond and their bodies naturally change, Karina teaches women to embrace these changes instead of focusing on what’s different.

Catherine McClintock

Catherine is a wealth of knowledge and will be bringing her sound healing instruments to play thoughout the day. Catherine can normally be found in White Head where she performs sound healing baths but that is just the tip of the iceberg - Catherine is qualified as a yoga teacher, Gi Gong instructor, Feng Shui practitioner along with many other attributes qualifications under her belt.
