Companion Ambassador

Annabel Johnson

I have lived a full and adventurous life. I completed a Fine Art B.A. degree at Brighton University, had several exhibitions in London and had two successful small businesses that I started, ran and sold (when I got bored of them!). I've travelled a fair amount on a budget and lived in a hut on the beach and surfed in Australia for 6 months after selling one of the companies. After deciding I did not enjoy being a boss anymore and becoming a single parent I am now a student support officer in a small transitional service/ school for neurodiverse children. I paint and exhibit a few times a year and I teach meditation (Qigong) in person, online and at Glastonbury Festival and a few smaller ones. I have practiced Qigong since I was 19. I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer October 2025 and I want to share my journey to help others going through the same thing.
