Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek (39) a tarot reader, psychic artiste and spiritual adviser and founder of Wellness Foundry, and his husband Jamie Meek (45), a spiritual practitioner and yoga teacher, director of events at the foundry, based in Vauxhall, London, had been travelling in India before the crash and posted videos of their holiday on social media. The passenger list shows that both boarded the plane. They put a jovial video up on Instagram shortly before boarding from the gate at Ahmedabad airport. In it Fiongal said, 'We are going back happily, happily, happily calm' and that his biggest takeaway was 'Don't lose patience with your partner' after Jamie joked Fiongal had 'already snapped at him' having chai at the airport. In another Instagram video post they had posted from their boutique hotel, the House of MG, in Ahmedabad, Fiongal said: 'It's our last night in India and we've had a magical experience really and some mind-blowing things have happened.' 'We really have been on quite a journey, and then just spending the last night here in this amazing hotel, and we have just had the most delicious Thali food. It was a perfect way to round up the trip. Excited to share it all with you,' Jamie said. The Wellness Foundry was founded by Fiongal in late 2018, born out of a spiritual awakening that was sparked by a mysterious illness he had. On its website, Fiongal said that seeking healing beyond conventional methods, he had delved into alternative practices that resonated with his soul. It began as a one-man endeavour and until now has 12 expert practitioners, offering tarot and psychic readings, past life regression and reiki healings, as well as psychic retreats.
