Hi, I'm Ini Ikpe-Etim Baker

​

Since attaining my qualification as an Operating Theatre Practitioner in 2014, I've dedicated a decade to honing my skills in anaesthetics, recovery, and endoscopy within operating theatres. Throughout this journey, I've gained invaluable insights into the challenges plaguing the hospital environment, both for my colleagues and our patients, experiencing firsthand the strain and discontent that often pervade these settings.

​

It became evident to me that the conventional healthcare system falls short in addressing the holistic needs of individuals, neglecting the well-being of both patients and healthcare professionals alike. Despite my tenure in various NHS and private hospitals, the gap in wellness provision remained glaringly apparent.

​

Through my experiences, I've come to understand that the root of dissatisfaction extends beyond long hours and inadequate compensation; rather, it lies in the lack of awareness and emphasis on holistic well-being. People were not merely frustrated due to external factors but also because they failed to recognise the importance of wellness living in fostering overall health and happiness.

​

The emergence of the COVID pandemic did not help matters, making Wellness Living even more out of reach to all.

​

Motivated by this realisation, I made a conscious decision to take action. Thus, my holistic programmes were born—a testament to my commitment to bridging this gap by empowering both healthcare professionals and individuals as a whole with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to prioritise wellness living. It's my firm belief that by addressing these fundamental aspects, we can create a healthier, more fulfilling environment for all involved.

​

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.

The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.
