ANTONETTA FERNANDES

Antonetta Fernandes is a ‘Soul, Mind and Body’ Therapist, Bestselling Co-Author, Tao Hands healer, Life Coach and Peer Mentor. In 2019 Antonetta found herself as a self-appointed advocate for elderly rights. After her success on an Ombudsman ruling with a property solicitor, she took on a scammer and won on a ruling with a major banking establishment. Her tenacity for taking on the elderly rights, shows no bounds whether it a pharmacy, health service, gym or managing agent. Her motto is “If you fight hard, know who you are and are proud of who you are, you’ve got a good chance of winning” Lincoln Hawkins

Antonetta is the founder of Fernandes Consultancy Ltd, a company she established in 2014. She has spent the past 20 years coaching, managing events, promoting books for new authors and running a successful wellness practice that promotes energy medicine.

Born in Kenya, the eldest of 9 siblings, she experienced her first claim to fame as an upand-coming artist: her work appeared in a local newspaper at the age of 16. During the course of her career, Antonetta has worked with both national and international companies. Her involvement with ‘Convergence 97’ at London Weekend Television Studios gave her a head start in embracing new media (i.e. the internet, social media, and mobile technology) with industry leaders and gurus. This propelled her on to an events management stage where her expertise grew.

Antonetta’s skills have contributed to successful regeneration partnerships with communities and businesses both nationally and internationally. Her ability to inspire communities brought about the Queen’s Award for ‘unsung heroes’ for her work in her local area. Antonetta is a multi-talented individual who had the privilege of working for 7 London Councils within the Housing and National Health Services. Globally she has been involved with Mynoo Maryel, The Poem Foundation and more recently Co-hosted events for Powerhouse Global Ltd.

Antonetta’s dynamic skills and passion have driven her philanthropic projects. As editor of West London Goans, she took on a taboo subject with her 1996 campaign against the child sex trade in Goa. The campaign gathered momentum in the UK, as 9338 supporters signed the petition; it also gained support from around the world.

Antonetta is a great believer that charity began at home. In 2000 she completed the Dublin Marathon despite being injured and raised £3000 for Whizz-Kidz, a charity that provides customised wheelchairs to children in need.
