Business History:

My love of business and art have gone hand in hand, constantly inspiring one another, and have led me to explore many different areas. I began my business career at the age of 19, when I started my own company importing health food products From the US to the UK. This led to my participation and co-founding of various companies in the sustainable living, Conciousness arenas. Including: New Magick Company, UK (importer and distributor of Metaphysical books, health products and Tapes) Lightfoce, One of the original Multi level Health food companies in the US. Innerspace Tecnologies, and Innerspace Retail store (3rd st Promemade, Santa Monica, CA 1997-1999) Enchante Innertainment (Children’s Books and Films www.kidseq.com for details.)

These activities culminated in my partners and I purchasing the "Wholelife Expo" - a company which specialises in holistic living, natural health and community building among those with an interest in healthy and conscious living, Originally an Expo company started in 1981 this company has held show's across the US and is currently taking the form of the development of media café’s/centers.

The Wholelife expo's www.wholelife.com have been very successful as a provider of holistic living information and community. In response to this specific demand we launched its sister website www.urth.tv which acts as an online community and resource, with media and other products dedicated to better living, and community networking, along with being one of the founders of Urth, I am the VP of media/Public Relations.

I have also been extensively involved in the field of emotional intelligence, engaging with the development of children's TV, to books and workbooks. In 1994 my husband Ayman Sawaf and I co-founded F.E.E.L, the foundation for education in emotional intelligence. At F.E.E.L. we recently launched a major campaign to collect one million signatures calling for emotional literacy to become a priority in our world through education campaigns. See www.feel.org

In 2001 I co-created and executive produced, "Awearness" an eco-fashion show with in the wholelife expo, that brought together 27 designers from around the US. It has become an important part of my work to promote eco-fashion across the world.
