ERICA MARMAI
Hi, I'm Erica. I help people create strong, rich and fulfilling relationships – starting with the one they have with themselves.
I believe that real transformation and satisfaction take place inside ourselves; and my mission today is to break unhealthy generational cycles by guiding and supporting people who are ready to heal, look deeper within themselves and navigate old and new relationships with self-assurance.
My approach is inspired by my background and experience in bodywork, holistic health, and a yearning for honest connection that supports people in feeling seen, 'known' and valued.
As a UK based licensed Relationship Coach & Self Discovery Mentor, I enjoy holding safe spaces and curating experiences that enable the co-creation of meaningful relationships rooted in openness, acceptance and a genuine desire to deepen surface level connections.

REBECCA PULLICINO
Hey there! I'm Becks, a CRM Marketer on a mission to banish small talk! I'm deeply passionate about unravelling the intricacies of what motivates people and helps them flourish in their interpersonal relationships.
Three years ago, I made the leap from the bustling streets of London to the vibrant community of Leeds. Amidst the change, I discovered a longing for spaces where people could engage in profound conversations over good food and wine, forging connections that transcend the superficial.
Originally from the captivating island of Malta, my European roots infuse a love for coming together over fantastic dinners. It's this rich cultural backdrop that propels my passion for cultivating deeper connections and facilitating conversations that matter.
I'm here to bring people together, whether through my professional work or my personal commitment of creating spaces that foster meaningful connections, my goal is to leave an indelible mark on the way we relate to one another.
