“Fire-walking is one way to demonstrate to yourself that you can achieve more than you thought possible,” Taz said.

“So much in life and business is about having a positive mental attitude and not being afraid to push yourself out of a comfort zone which is no longer fit for purpose.”

The Association gave the award, saying: “Taz Thornton has proven her commitment to the expansion of human consciousness through her work and endorsement of firewalking and the successful adaptation of its practice through her work as a spiritual practitioner.”
