Scholars and Practitioners

Meet Your Instructors

Every class is taught by someone who has built their life around what they teach. Scholars, practitioners, and thought leaders with deep connections to 125 years of Newbold College's tradition of faith and learning, each one bringing expertise that goes beyond the academic.

Dr Gifford Rhamie

Senior Lecturer, Newbold College

Dr Gifford Rhamie is a theologian, leadership coach, and consultant with more than two decades of experience equipping leaders across faith communities, universities, corporations, and public-sector organisations on leadership transformation, diversity, equity, and belonging. He has walked alongside leaders through some of the most complex institutional moments of their careers, and this class is built from what he has seen actually work.

Lifestyle Medicine Specialist and International Speaker

Dr Dominique Thomsen has spent over a decade at the intersection of medical science and sustainable lifestyle change, helping people rebuild their health from the inside out. As co-founder and CEO of Living Alive, a Germany-based lifestyle medicine company, she works with individuals and organisations across Europe and beyond. She has led the development of two medically based wellness centres in the United States, contributed to the American College of Sports Medicine as one of its first certified Exercise-is-Medicine Specialists, and spoken to audiences on four continents. She knows this territory from the inside too: her own journey through injury, burnout, and recovery is what turned her professional expertise into something personal.
