Thank you Brighton Wellness Festival - we had a blast!

Proud Wellness decided to be part of BWF25 because we knew we’d be supported to take up space, and to ensure that q***r wellness practitioners and communities were uplifted and represented.

We have a seat at the table thanks to Natasha Jackson.

We delivered a range of workshops both at the Summit and during the festival:

✨ Q***r Strength Club with Brinny

✨ Release, Reclaim & Reconnect: A Creative Visualisation & Drum Journey for LGBTQIA+ Empowerment with Chantel & Musa

✨Microdosing Joy with Musa

✨Powerful Allyship with Sarah

✨Allies in Action with Sarah & Musa

Now we need to work collectively to dismantle and re-shape the systems that exclude & alienate us - so that more LGBTQIA+ people feel safe enough to access the wellness support they so desperately need.

We hope at BWF26 more q***r wellness voices and service providers will join us.

The change we need can only happen if we’re in the room folks!

Thanks to our amazing BWF practitioners Brinny and Chantel , our Director Musa ***r & Founder CEO Sarah ***rcoach

Q***r inclusive wellness is needed now more than ever. Thank you to everyone who supports our Mission.

👋 Hey wellness practitioners, are you ready to take action?

Sadly, many LGBTQIA+ people feel unwelcome, misunderstood or invisible in wellness spaces. 😔

You can change this!

Many LGBTQIA+ people are looking for trustworthy support and a safe haven, and that’s where you come in.

👉 About Octavian:

Hi, I’m Octavian. I’m a qualified life coach, trainer and mentor specialising in trans and q***r development and growth.

With more than 15 years of experience in training, individual support and advocacy within the LGBTIQ+ community, I have a unique perspective on the challenges of striving for authenticity and supporting others on their journey. This can often feel isolating and difficult to navigate while balancing personal aspirations.

👉 How Octavian can support you:

I’ve established a comprehensive coaching practice where individuals can delve into self-discovery at their own pace and pursue their goals. I work with trans+ people, family members and partners of trans+ people and allies who want to advocate for the trans+ community.

For my trans+ clients, I help you achieve your dreams, navigate transitioning, and talk through your goals around being your most authentic self in all aspects of your life.

I support Family members & partners of trans+ people providing guidance on how to support your loved ones coming out and understand their journey whilst also supporting yourself and your own goals.

And I work with allies helping you learn how to advocate for the trans+ community and make a positive impact and how that integrates with your own goals and journey both professionally or personally.

Proud Wellness is excited to be part of the Brighton Wellness Festival!

And here’s why...

Mainstream wellness spaces aren’t always LGBTQIA+ inclusive.

Too often, we’re either left out of the conversation, added as an afterthought, or dismissed entirely because people assume just saying “everyone is welcome” is enough to be inclusive.

Inclusive language without action is not enough.

Representation without safety is not enough.

LGBTQIA+ people can’t change the wellness industry on their own.

Change starts to happen when allies are open to learning, invite us to the table, and encourage us to take up space — this has been our experience with Brighton Wellness Festival.

✨Brighton Wellness Festival shares our Vision✨

Disrupting the status quo so that wellness is truly for everyone. We wouldn’t be there otherwise.

Together we’re creating a wellness industry where everyone belongs. 🌈✨

Here’s how we’re taking part at the festival:

👉 Our founder, Sarah, is on the festival’s Advisory Board.

👉 We’re delivering 3 LGBTQIA+ wellness events during the week.

👉 We’re leading 2 workshops at the Summit on 4th October.

👉 LGBTQIA+ practitioners are visible and supported.

🎟️ Come and join us at this city-wide celebration of holistic health that’s rooted in connectedness, inclusivity, and integrity.
