Thriller Novelist Samatha Lee Howe supports abuse charity IDAS
Thriller Novelist Samantha Lee Howe supports Yorkshire-based domestic abuse charity IDAS
Bestselling author and screenwriter Samantha Lee Howe is delighted to announce that she is now a survivor ambassador for the Yorkshire based charity IDAS.
Independent Domestic Abuse Services (IDAS) is the leading specialist domestic abuse service in Yorkshire, supporting over 20,000 people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence in Yorkshire each year. Their services include refuge accommodation, community-based support, peer mentoring, group work and access to a free, confidential out of hours’ helpline. Their teams of accredited specialist workers support people through the criminal justice system in addition to providing emotional support and safety planning advice.
This is a cause which speaks deeply to Samantha: ‘As a victim of domestic abuse as a child and in my previous marriage, I understand what the impact of this can be. In lending my voice and support to IDAS, I hope to inspire others to come forward and seek help. Many women and men are too embarrassed to even admit they are being abused, and I hope that my own story will help them find the strength to reach out for help.

‘Only recently did I find my own strength and voice and shared my story with The Daily Express. Many perpetrators of abuse almost brainwash their victims into thinking it is all their fault, and I’m here to tell them, it really isn’t!
‘It was an easy decision to become involved with IDAS as it’s close to me both geographically and emotionally. By speaking for and supporting the charity, I felt I could make a difference and aid them in the ongoing battle against abuse and violence.’

Anna Kennedy sleep secret Made By Coopers .
From India To Sussex
Meditating with frankincense and regularly practicing yoga in London was just the start. She knew she wanted to delve deeper into this healing work, and was drawn to India where their story began.During their travels, Clare and Darren spent time at an Ayurvedic retreat in Kerala, learning all about the power of plants and natural healing, as well as lots of yoga, meditation, and early five a.m. chanting ceremonies!
It was at this retreat, they got to see first hand the plants and herbs transformed into oils used for treatments. It was a life changing experience, understanding how the aromas from the oils made them feel and affected their wellbeing in a positive way.
Following this powerful experience in the Ayurvedic retreat, the idea was formed to start a range of natural products, infused with essential oils, with a focus on emotional wellbeing.
