Idan's Bio:
I studied psychology (BSc Hons, 2009) at University of East London. Later I taught foundation students and was the founder of SOSMentor, a program that supported students in their studies via pairing them with mentors.
During my studies I worked under Professor Janet Treasure at The Institute of Psychiatry (King’s College London).
Between 2009 - 2011 I ran and managed a volunteers' group at Drugsline. The volunteers' duties were to support anyone dealing with addiction directly or indirectly.
Since 2007 I have struggled with ME, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In 2011 the illness became overpowering and I took time off to heal myself by, among other solutions, going plant based, water fasting, oxygen therapy and positive psychology. I managed to go from being house-bound with a need for a carer to getting most of my vitality and health back. My illness is still there but I have successfully managed to contain it to a level where I can function and lead a fulfilled life.
I'm in the process of writing a book on my journey back to health, based on all my experiences.
In 2015 I co-founded The Feelgood Cafe, a vegan cafe in Chingford, London, which became a local community and health hub and ranked 6th cafe in all of London (2019). The cafe was open from 2015 to 2020 and now continues online as a vegan support account - @thefeelgoodcafe.
Since 2018 I have been working closely with Dr. John Butler, who is a renowned hypnotherapist and a psychotherapist with 40 years of experience, at Hypnotherapy Training International (HTI). I help with organising and managing his hypnotherapy training courses both online and in person in London.
In 2020 I published The Little Book of CBD together with Penguin Publishing House, on the benefits of CBD oil, a food supplement which I have been taking since 2017 and offering through my brand Feelgood Essentials - www.feelgood-essentials.com.
In 2021, in the search of fresh air and a warm, sunny climate, I settled in Sagres, Portugal, where I am going to open a plant-based guesthouse and a retreat centre - coming in 2022!
I offer affordable consultations online via Zoom or phone, as well as meetings in person in the Algarve, Portugal, if you happen to visit or live nearby.
