Both Melissa & Kit are frequently found on our runway, but they both share something else in common - their professional roles within the mental health profession.

Becky Wiseman
Corporate mental health specialist
Not only does Becky grace our stage with her insane pole skills, but she has also developed a scheme to support The Black Dog Project and assist local businesses with their staff mental health well-being.
​
After suffering for many years with anxiety herself, Becky noticed a distinct lack of real support within organisations for invisible illness.
​
She is keen to use Art & Soul Tribe as a platform to get into companies and speak with people to dispel the stigma attached with mental health issues and encourage people to talk more.
