Julian Fraser
CEO & Co-founder
Julian’s second child experienced complications at birth, which marked the beginning of a very different journey for his family. His daughter, now 22, has quadriplegic cerebral palsy with complex care needs, and her brother also has Autism and ADHD.
The early years brought many challenges, and Julian often felt uncertain about what lay ahead. Over time, a shift in perspective helped him see that wellbeing and hope were still available, even in difficult moments.
He later trained as a professional practitioner, and for the past 15 years has shared this understanding through conversations, workshops and community programmes, always with a focus on making wellbeing feel simple and grounded in everyday life.
In 2020, Julian co-founded the Almond Tree Foundation to support parents of children with disabilities or serious illness. He lives in London with his wife, Jo, their five children and Henri the Labrador.
Angelina Hynes
Session Leader
Angelina Hynes is a life and wellbeing coach, a speaker and a family carer. Thirteen years ago, Angelina was plunged into the caring role when her daughter Zoe was born with a rare genetic syndrome. Completely shellshocked she had no idea how to navigate the special needs journey and fear and anger became her constant companions.
In 2018, Angelina reached the point of burnout. She resigned from her permanent, pensionable job and spent a year in hiding away from the world. She was always interested in mental health and wellbeing so returned to college to study coaching and the psychology of coaching.
Since then, she has come across the simple secret of how life works from the inside out, transforming her experience from stress and overwhelm to a life of ease, fun and laughter. She is passionate about creating space to help others to wake up to their extraordinariness and a renewed way of living.
Linda Pransky
Session Leader
In 2019, Linda Pransky, along with her husband George, ran a full-time Three Principles practice. They travelled around the world and spoke at events and conferences. That year George had heart bypass surgery and suffered a severe stroke. Life changed overnight. Linda became his caregiver, his primary rehab person, and his cheerleader. Her life changed 180 degrees.
In the chaos of this change, she found love, gratitude, and hope with newfound strengths and capabilities. Over the past two years George has made a dramatic recovery and together they have found a beautiful new life.
Linda served on the executive committee of the Three Principles Global Community, and was a recent faculty member for the One Thought Institute and Partner at Pransky and Associates.
Claire Shutes
Co-founder
Julian and Claire founded the Almond Tree Foundation in 2020 to provide wellbeing support for families living with disability. After five wonderful years, she stepped down from the organisation in 2026 as it began a new chapter.
Claire was born with Cerebral Palsy, and is a Master Transformative Coach. She founded Potent Coaching in 2006, through which she has an international client base, working as a coach, speaker and trainer of prospective coaches.
