"I have a rich background in hospitality across France, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. She has brought her passion for premium, ethically sourced chocolate to Malta, offering the island's first organic, bean-to-bar chocolate without additives, preservatives, or palm oil. Her unique insight into the chocolate-making process, gained from living in Panama, has led her to partner with top Belgian chocolatiers to curate a collection of high-quality, single-origin chocolates, providing an exceptional tasting experience in Malta. Isabelle is soon opening the Crazy Deluxe Cafe, where she will offer chocolate tastings comparable to wine tastings, allowing customers to explore the diverse flavours of single-origin chocolates. Additionally, chocolate pairings will be available to showcase its versatility with food and drink. BeChocolateAndMore will also host workshops throughout the year to educate chocolate lovers on the art of chocolate-making, with special visits from Belgian chocolatiers twice a year to enhance the experience. Isabelle's vision for Crazy Deluxe Cafe is to create a space where chocolate craftsmanship and passion meet, focusing on quality, sustainability, and education."

"I'm a storyteller at heart, passionate about amplifying voices often unheard. I co-dreamt RAAH, a vibrant platform giving a stage to diaspora communities. We specifically support creatives to not only be infront of the camera but be behind one too. This journey has been a whirlwind of creative campaigns, building incredible partnerships, and leading teams that truly believe in making a difference.

I'm a bit of a nomad at heart, having lived and worked across different cultures. This has deeply shaped my understanding of the world and fuels my desire to create a more just and equitable society.

I'm currently freelancing as a Communications and Marketing for charities, helping them tell their stories. I'm a huge Canva Tweak, and I love finding innovative ways to use design to drive impact.

My ambition is to continue pushing creative boundaries, working with inspiring organizations and individuals, and ultimately contribute to a world where everyone has a voice and a seat at the table."

"Formerly a teacher of teenagers in UK further education, and then a creator of training materials for corporations, I finalised that chapter of my career at the BBC.  I was 'guided' toward my career as a therapist specialising in Hypnosis and Therapy. Guided is absolutely true.  Let's say, a spiritual intervention.  I have practised my therapeutic gifts in London, twenty years in Malta, with periodic bi-annual consultancies in Thailand, Ko Samui island in Thailand, Cambodia, and Java, Indonesia.  Later, a former boss asked me to work with his hospitality staff to build confidence and self-esteem when interacting with the guests.  


Presently, I am volunteering to teach 11/12 12-year-old children, Health Education in a village outside of Pejeng Kelod, Indonesia.  Day to day, in Malta, I work one-to-one with clients, within the surgery of three visionary doctors in Haz Zabbar:  The GP Practice.  In London, I practise in SE London.  Presently in Malta, I am supporting the People's Health Alliance (PHA), founded by Elaine Mulcahy and David Wildy, amongst others."

"I am a 34-year-old self-employed Aesthetic Holistic Therapist with 15 years of experience in the field. Focus not only on improving the external appearance, such as skincare, beauty treatments, and body care, but also on enhancing overall well-being. The holistic aspect involves considering the client's physical, emotional, and spiritual health, aiming to create balance and harmony in their lives. This approach often includes natural therapies, personalised care, and an emphasis on treating the individual as a whole, rather than just addressing specific symptoms or concerns. My work is driven by creativity, ambition, and a genuine love for helping people, which makes me deeply passionate about what I do. I'm always eager to learn new skills to enhance my practice and stay innovative. In my free time, I enjoy channelling my creativity into handicrafts, which brings me a lot of joy and satisfaction."
