Marianella Torres
Businesswoman, Psychopedagogue, Wellness coach, and Founder of Women on Business
After living an important fragment of my life in different parts of the world, I thank much of my story to Chile, France and Venezuela, my native country, in which I finally landed at age 14.
You can imagine how many “bones” I left scattered along the way ...
My life has always been linked to education, my root profession is psychopedagogy, although life invited me to walk in other roads and I am co-founder of my husband’s business linked to the construction industry. Until today I have served as its general manager leading work groups at different levels and areas in the company.
For 15 years I practiced my original profession working in parallel as a language teacher for children from one and a half years old to nine. One of the most exciting and rich stages of my life.
Since I was a child, I was a rebellious, curious and imaginative girl, I write stories since I can remember, and I am a storyteller by essence. I never settled for what others told me, I always wanted to see what was beyond the horizon, but as an obedient girl I adapted to what I was allowed to do, just to avoid causing discomfort to my parents, basically, because I knew I could create tsunamis.
But it was only when I was almost 50 years old that I took the decision to become a life coach, it was also the moment when I decided to start my own business project, fulfill a forgotten dream that I left sleepy aside in the suitcase that accompanied me on every trip I made until now .
I always support women entrepreneurs acquiring their services and products as a philosophy of life because,
I believe it is vital for a woman undertaking the support of the tribe.
I believe that finding the right help as soon as possible saves a lot of mishaps and wasted time.
I believe that having the right company with whom we share concerns and doubts, gives us the strength that sometimes we are not clearly seen to transform our lives and make better decisions for ourselves to experience wellness in all dimensions.
I think changing what we don't like is our responsibility, and “I cannot change what is written for me, but I can decide what to do with what is happening to me”.
I believe that a woman can transform herself and do extraordinary things for herself and for the whole world.
I consider myself an activist of the respect for people, ideas and free will, I defend inclusion and peace above anything else.
I have been working for almost 5 years in a transformational movement for women recovering those lost “bones” left sleeping along the path called life, to help empower girls and women
wherever I am in this world as I am an incurable traveler.
I have launched this movement during pandemic time, and phase 1 of this project is a book that I am writing with other 20 women invited, for a total of 21 powerful stories. This book intended to raise funds to give away those girls and women, wellness coaching sessions and offering empowerment and transformational life services from entrepreneurs in the empowering and spiritual area, at an affordable cost for all women, regardless their socioeconomic status, race or beliefs.
My motto is:
"When women support each other and achieve their dreams, the power of their transformation, like the fluttering of the butterfly, can be felt on the other side of the world."
Dr. Eline Pedersen
Doctor of Chiropractic
Honoris Cause Doctorate of Humanity” specialising in Leadership (AUGP)
Initiator and President of NGO “Birth Forward”, Human Rights Ambassador
Dr Eline Pedersen fundamentally believes in nature’s way of adapting to every aspect of life. As a wellness family chiropractor she studies what she has named the individual’s “HQ” or ‘Health Quotient”. The “Health Quotient” is a measure of an individual’s adaptive state of health, based on their physical, emotional and chemical well-being, within the individual’s epigenetic and environmental context. This fits perfectly with the philosophy of chiropractic - that healing is an innate action, which happens from within and that the body is a self-healing organism.
Having this in mind, and studying the work of Dr Michel Odent, where he concludes that the most critical time in life affecting our physical and mental health, is the moment of birth, Eline passionately devoted her work and personal life, on making a human being’s birth time the beginning of a well lived healthy lifetime, close to the way nature intended it to be. She believes we have the responsibility to protect the first breath of each new born child, to grow into a fearless, integrated, connected and healthy adults.
As a true mentor/Leader, Eline inspires mothers to claim their right for bringing to life not just a child, but a respected and responsible human being, to ensure that our next generation starts off in an adaptable and self-healing state with the best possible HQ, EQ (emotional Quotient), SQ (Social Quotient) and IQ (Intelligence Quotient) in a protected and healthy environment.
She also encourages women, not only in her community but also globally, to take massive action in their lives to be happy and to choose work that fits with their personal philosophy, as love and passion are the core factors for success both in business and in personal life. If we do something we love that is meaningful to us, we automatically want to spread the message to others, building a happier community all around.
Her concern in life as a young woman, mother, a paediatric and pregnancy chiropractor, drove her to the initiative to “Birth Forward”, an internationally recognized non-governmental, non-profit organisation providing education, support and advocacy for parents in the process of becoming a family.
Though Eline works internationally for global change, she has her base in Cyprus with her beloved fellow chiropractor Costas and her two boys.
She is the owner of Aberdeen Chiropractic Clinic in Scotland and their Chiropractic clinics called Health Q. in Cyprus along with her husband Costas. Eline has been honored with a number of awards, of particular note, for her inspirational and humanitarian work, as a chiropractor, Health/wellness mentor and founding member of “Birth Forward”. She has also received an “Honoris Cause Doctorate of Humanity” specializing in Leadership (AUGP) and is an active advisor on several projects with regard the human rights and health. She has recently also been an author in the book “Tough Roads create Tough People”

Amina L. Weewo
Founder of Stella Women Around the World
Amina L. Weewo is from Northern Europe, where we have four mystical seasons with utterly beautiful white nights during summertime and surrounded with heavy snow and darkness during winter. Getting married, becoming Mother of 2 sons, divorcing, working hard to raise the sons and trying to give them the best education. There were hard times, but after the hard times there were also good times. I believe that the hard times in my life have made me a stronger person and to value all good in my life much more. I love to travel and explore new countries and connect with the different people around the world. I think that every country has its own beauty and every person is unique and beautiful I am living in Bahrain from 2009. How I ended up in this beautiful island, has also its own story. My very first visit to Bahrain was by chance! I had a four-hour stopover in the kingdom. At the time my knowledge about Bahrain was very limited, so to get to know the place I decided to take a quick tour, grabbed a taxi from the airport and drove around. I don’t know what happened exactly, but could definitely tell, I fell in love with the country the first moment I landed in. Deeply I felt that would be my place, where I would love to come back and stay for a while. I returned in 2009 for one month. After that I couldn’t leave the island anymore and I have been living in Bahrain for more than ten years.
The hospitality of Bahrainis, their caring and generous souls and their welcoming arms especially towards guests, their big hearts is irresistibly enormous. The beautiful Land of the Two-Seas made me get attached to the island. From that moment onward I had an urge to tell the whole world what a beautifully diversified country Bahrain is! It was like I started a beloved mission; to share my Love story about Bahrain with the rest of the world and tell a tale that has flourishing details in every single page. To make my dream become true, I established my own company and called it Stella Polare Boutique Events.
The name Stella Polare means a Northern Star and it’s famous for holding nearly still in our sky while at the same time the entire northern sky moving around it. That’s because it’s unique located closely to the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky is turning. The reason Polaris is so important is because the axis of Earth is pointed almost directly at it. During the course of the night, Polaris does not rise or set, magically though remains nearly at the same spot above the northern horizon year-round while the other stars circling around it. England’s national poet and famous playwright, Shakespeare had once a quote about it “I am constant as the northern star.” My goal in life is to connect and be connected. This was the reason, I started to organize international events outside Bahrain and inside Bahrain.
My latest events are about the Women. I established an organization Stella Women Around the World and my upcoming event will be the International Conference “Women in Innovation & Creativity Globally” in Bahrain in March 2020 I do hope that all these amazing women, who join this event in Bahrain in March, will be the ambassadors of peace and goodness in this World. All starts from us! Understanding and being kind to each other we can make this World a much better place!
Per Aspera Ad Astra
What words of encouragement would you like to share with women around the world?
Being a woman myself, I know from my experience, that our life is not so easy and rosy always, like we wish it to be.
I hope that women don’t give up their dreams easily, going through the hardships. Let the hardships make us all only stronger to follow our goals. I can see a huge potential in the International Women Conferences, as this is our golden chance to know more about each other, to understand more each other, to support each other, to motivate, inspire...
NEVER GIVE UP! JUST FORWARD! La Vita e Bella !
