2006 was a transitional year where Diane brought together the many different aspects of her working life. Outside of her performing and creative career she has always been teaching and presenting as a health, fitness and wellbeing professional. She is a qualified and experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist, she has also qualified this year to be a Trainer in NLP. This means she is qualified to certify and train practitioners up to Masters Level in NLP. NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a model of understanding human behavior and mental processes.

This year she formed a new company that she has been developing under the surface for years: Core Equilibrium Ltd.

Core Equilibrium Ltd. has created bespoke trainings, seminars and workshops for companies who aim to improve working lives. The programmes cover complete wellbeing and personal development as well as professional management and Leadership trainings. Watch this space for further information and for our products in 2007.

On a lighter note and in total contrast Diane will be in Panto again this year! She is working with UK Productions in Peter Pan at The Auditorium in Grimsby. This is her second visit back to the venue and she is looking forward to traipsing the boards again as Mrs. Darling and a rather funky street-wise Mermaid!

Diane can also be seen in a short TV documentary called "3 Minute Wonder". It discusses why someone from an iconic TV programme such as Gladiators would be doing Panto. It's on Channel 4 at 7.55pm on Wednesday 20th December.
