Rob Sykes and Edward Pike are the co-founders of Find Your Magic, a retreat and wellbeing initiative dedicated to helping people reconnect with themselves through sound, movement and creativity. Drawing on a combined fifty years of experience in music, events, wellbeing and personal development, they offer a unique blend of professional insight and personal authenticity. Having met on a retreat in Crete in 2017, they understand first-hand the transformative power of taking time and space away from daily life to gain clarity, perspective and renewed purpose. As speakers, they bring warmth, honesty and humour to discussions about identity, resilience and the importance of living truthfully, qualities that make them powerful advocates for LGBTQ+ wellbeing.
Rob’s background spans three decades in the creative industries, working internationally as a DJ, sound therapist and talent leader. From his early career at MTV and Channel 4 to senior roles at digital agencies and his current position as Lead Talent Partner at Kin + Carta, he has built a career defined by connection, creativity and compassion. His expertise in Voice Analysis and Vibrational Retuning and his art practice in straw marquetry reflect his deep belief in the healing power of sound and self-expression.
Edward’s journey began in the fitness and coaching world, where he helped people strengthen both body and mind through movement and mindfulness. He went on to found The Thrive Foundation, a pioneering wellbeing initiative supporting gay men and people living with HIV, and created the MAGIC Method, centred on Movement, Aliveness, Gifts, Intuition and Creativity. His work as a body-based coach and creative consultant combines emotional intelligence with practical tools for transformation. Together, Edward and Rob established Find Your Magic Retreats in 2022, leading immersive experiences for those seeking to heal from burnout, rediscover purpose and build meaningful relationships.
As openly gay partners and facilitators, Rob and Edward are invited to speak for their ability to blend lived experience with professional depth. Their talks inspire audiences to re-learn how to listen and trust themselves, embrace their identity and create vibrant health, connected relationships and meaningful work. They embody the belief that authenticity is not just a personal journey but a collective act of courage and love.
Edward Pike & Rob Sykes is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“Rob and Ed from Find Your Magic brought such warmth and inspiration to our Big Gay Out community. Their talk encouraged us as queer people to discover more joy in our lives, connect deeply with our bodies and spirits, and truly explore what makes us tick. The feedback from our members was overwhelmingly positive — many described the session as transformative, and several even went on to join their retreats, which were equally raved about. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would have them back in an instant.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of attending events and courses co-curated by Ed and Rob for a number of years. I’d highly recommend them as speakers for private and corporate events. Their authentic approach, backed up by their individual expertise, makes for a unique and memorable experience for all those listeners and subscribers. The tougher they multiply their impact tenfold. Individually strong as a solo presence, but as a duo they’re a major force, meaning any person attending or listening will get something from the conversation.”
