As the creator of The Truth Matters Institute of Health, Ann Knox has brought together many innovators in the field of health and wellness. Until now she has always stayed in the background, shying away from telling her own story. Now, with the international launch of new conferences, health programs and a book, it is time for Ann to share her journey.

Like others in these turbulent times, Ann has lost much of what she used to think of as essential to her wellbeing, and her identity. In recent years her health, material wealth and some of her closest relationships have been stripped away, leaving her wondering: ‘Without possessions, health and the ideas I had of myself and the people who helped define me, who am I really?’ In the face of what some would regard as devastating loss, the asking of that question brought Ann to where she is now: enjoying all that life has to offer and helping guide others to total health and wellbeing through unique conferences and programmes.

In March 2008, Ann received her first diagnosis of a breast tumour. Her instinct told her to step away from the conventional allopathic treatments routinely offered to cancer patients. Qualifying as a raw food nutritionist, she already knew about the intimate relationship between diet and health, and she knew that her body could respond well to natural methods of detoxing, cleansing and replenishing.

Ann will tell you she is now living with cancer. To her the word holds no fear. She believes that it is fear of cancer, not cancer itself that causes dis-ease and ultimately death of the body. She has come to a profound acceptance of and gratitude for the body’s wonderful ability to reflect what she needs, and for her ability to listen to its signals and learn how to truly nurture herself. Her direct experience led to the creation of The Truth Matters Institute of Health, which, since it began in 2009, has touched the lives of many people and supported them on their paths to true wellbeing.

The Truth Matters conferences provide expert and testimonial talks on all aspects of health, recognising that wellness is not just about absence of physical illness, but about the whole person – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. They have demonstrated Ann’s remarkable ability to attract professionals at the cutting edge of holistic healthcare. Yet for her, these conferences were only the start. Rather than just informing people through speaker events, she decided to create The Truth to Health programme and book. Practical workshops, private consultations and a highly informative collection of expert writers on health and wellbeing are translating the available information to our daily lives.

Her newest creation is the Awakening the ‘I AM’ events, which will be launched in March 2012. These conferences will complete the creation of what Ann has named the ‘Master Vision’ to health and wellbeing. They will be the first to bridge the gap between spiritual self-enquiry and the down-to-earth practice of daily life. Awakening the ‘I AM’ will form yet another platform for people to open the doors to true health and wellbeing. It’s one of Ann’s many dreams coming true since her ‘wake-up call’ four years ago. She now understands that following your heart’s desires and being in touch with your true self are powerful recipes for a vibrant, fulfilling and healthy life. And she is ready to share it, through a Master Vision whose dimension and scope still seems to catch her by surprise every day.

Ann will be sharing her story for the first time at this year’s Glasgow conference on February 18th 2012.
