Named in memory of her friend Erica, Helena emphasizes a compassionate, flexible, and personal approach—donating £10 from every treatment to Macmillan and creating a calm, clock-free space. The episode covers her training, community connections, wig story, and the clinic’s opening on July 1st.

On this episode of Made in Ely, Anthe from Papa's Locusts talks about running a mobile food business that started with loaded fries and evolved into authentic Canadian poutine and a second ramen truck, Deruma.

She discusses sourcing real cheese curds and the right fries, building the Cambridge Food Truck Collective, pitching at events like the British Street Food Awards, seasonal menus, business challenges and practical advice for anyone starting a food truck.

Welcome to Made in Ely where we chat to local business owners about what they're building and how they're doing it. In this episode we speak with Gemma from eMotion Fit about her route from corporate life into personal training and breathwork. We discuss how a simple breathing practice brought quiet to a busy mind and became a tool for emotional release.

Gemma explains what to expect in her sessions — three rounds of breathwork, music-driven journeys, guided retentions and a cathartic vocal release — and why creating a safe, welcoming space matters. We also cover the role of community in Ely, men’s mental health sessions in the woods, and simple daily habits that support wellbeing like movement, sleep, hydration and awareness.
