Barbara Broome has been a trustee since 2010. She completed her healing training in 2002 and has supported the committee in various roles, including helping to organise the annual INEH UK conferences. Barbara is a founding member of the esoteric study book group, which used to meet in person in Chichester and now meets online each month. She plays an active role in her daughters’ and grandchildren’s lives, having retired from working in a local GP practice for many years. “It’s a privilege to be part of a group that really cares about the health and wellbeing of others.”

Helen Frankland is Chairwoman of the INEH, a role she has held since 1985. She has been teaching and practising Esoteric – or Subtle Energy – Healing for more than 40 years, and was part of the original group of healers trained by INEH founder Brenda Selby-Johnston. Helen is also a music teacher, hands-on grandmother and a much-in-demand group facilitator, leading meditations and participating in ‘goodwill’ groups all over the world. “What keeps us together in these groups? Telepathy I think, between members horizontally at soul, mental and emotional levels, and vertically with the spiritual hierarchy. The glue is love.”

Susannah Lawson joined the committee in March 2023. She trained in Subtle Energy Healing with Dinah Lawson and Maddy Harland in 2008-2010, and after further training, became a teacher herself in 2019. She is also a Nutritional Therapist, HeartMath practitioner and author of four books including The Stress Cure, with Patrick Holford. With a background in journalism, Susannah supports the INEH’s communications strategy and development. She also edits Lifestream, a twice-yearly journal produced for members of the INEH and the National Association of Energy Healing (NAEH), which is a sister organisation in the USA. “The INEH provides practical tools for holistic living, healing as well as personal and spiritual development, so it’s an honour to be involved in this work.”

Karen Lock joined the committee in February 2021 and became the organiser for the INEH UK annual conference, then took over the role of Treasurer the following year, and is also currently covering the role of Company Secretary. She did her Esoteric Healing training locally in Hampshire between 2010-12 and has been practising ever since. Before she recently retired from commercial work, Karen’s career included customer relations, sponsorship and hospitality roles for luxury brands at major sporting events. She’s calling on this experience to work with fellow committee member Susanah Lawson to help steer the INEH’s new communications strategy. “I am motivated by the will to serve and feel honoured to give time, energy and love to the INEH, and to experience the positive difference we can make to those who seek support.”

Ian Yearwood has been the INEH’s Membership Secretary since October 2011. He manages INEH member contact, renewals and queries, and shares regular communications including news, events, reminders for ‘Self Healing’ days (the first of each month) and New and Full Moon times/dates for meditation. “Within the INEH, there is a core group that stands steady at the heart, serving the whole. I try to act as if I am part of that core with strands connecting to all.”
