Our Ambassadors

Kiemu is the cofounder and CEO of Beautonomy, a beauty company offering personalised palettes of eyeshadow. Before moving into cosmetics she was a doctor with a specialism in anaesthesia. Her son Laurie took part in our Breathe Magic Intensive Therapy Programme in 2024.j

Through Breathe Magic, George discovered not only an incredible talent for performing magic, but developed a new set of social skills which have improved all aspects of his life.

aking part in the Breathe Magic Mentor Programme provides a way for George to give something back to Breathe for helping him make a fresh start. He describes the role as ‘professional friendship’. He helps teach magic tricks and talks to the children about having hemiplegia because he understands the problems they may be experiencing.

Cat has been involved with Breathe since attending Breathe Magic Intensive Therapy Programme in 2016.

She gave a talk at the NHS expo in Manchester in 2016, explaining to health professionals about how her disability affects me and how the programme helped her enormously. Cat attends various Breathe events to mentor some of the Young Magicians and liaise with the parents.

Outside of Breathe, Cat is a model who loves cosplaying and dressing in historical dress. She has also been an extra on Hollyoaks as a nurse!

Joshua Parsons is a media graduate from the University of Winchester, a keen sports fan and a member of the Magic Circle.

When Joshua was younger, he was diagnosed with hemiplegia which gives him a left-sided semi paralysis that has presented many challenges to overcome.

Joshua enjoys sport and had played football for Chelsea’s pan-disability squad and most recently has started playing golf and following F1. Before his time at University, Joshua’s achievements were mostly personal ones such as becoming the first person with his type of disability to gain membership to the prestigious Magic Circle. 

Joshua has always strived to achieve within his personal life and in school, and has completed his Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award, as well as studying for 3 years at the University of Winchester in Media and Communication.
