Founder and University of Edinburgh Research Fellow: Katarina Miteva will be joining us as our guest speaker. 

Kat is the founder of 'Redefine Spine' - mind and spine coaching in Edinburgh, focussing on bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-life application. "After years of struggling with my own pain and trying countless failed treatments, I realised that lasting relief requires a personalised approach. Now fully recovered, I became the coach I needed years ago. With my research background, I leverage evidence-based methods to create tailored coaching that addresses the multifactorial nature of chronic back pain. This journey isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about empowering people to resolve their pain and reclaim their lives. I juggle part-time coaching business with my role as a research fellow in cardiovascular sciences and advanced therapies."

Whether you come with a business idea or not, this is a relaxed and safe space to embark on your entrepreneurial journey. After all, creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem that helps solve some of the world’s biggest challenges requires connected communities.
