A British couple known for their successful spiritual wellness brand in London has tragically made headlines after being among the passengers on the Air India flight that crashed shortly after takeoff on Thursday. Jamie Ray Greenlaw-Meek and Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek, the co-founders of The Wellness Foundry, were two of 53 British nationals aboard the doomed flight, which was carrying a total of 242 passengers when it went down just minutes after departing. The couple had recently completed a 10-day wellness retreat in India and were returning home when disaster struck.
In what has now become a heartbreaking final message, the couple posted a video to their brand’s Instagram account while at the airport, just before boarding. In the video, Fiongal, who previously worked as a fashion designer before transitioning into spiritual work, smiles at the camera and says, “We are at the airport, just boarding. Goodbye India,” while Jamie, his husband, makes a light-hearted comment about the long 10-hour flight they were about to endure. Their cheerful demeanor and excitement about returning home were painfully at odds with the tragic events that would unfold only moments later.
The crash has sent shockwaves through the spiritual and wellness community, especially among the couple’s large social media following and loyal clientele. According to reports, only one known survivor has emerged from the horrific incident. Video footage of the crash has quickly spread online, depicting the plane flying unusually low over a residential area before bursting into flames, sending thick black smoke into the sky. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Just days before the tragedy, Jamie and Fiongal had shared multiple moments from their India trip with followers, describing it as a “magical experience.” They hinted at an upcoming vlog that would showcase their spiritual journey, their time connecting with local culture, and the transformation they felt during their retreat. In one of the last clips shared, Jamie reflected on their final night in India, saying, “We really have been on quite a journey. We just spent the last night here in the most amazing hotel and had the most delicious Thali. It was the perfect way to round off the trip.” Their joy and gratitude were evident, making the crash even more heartbreaking for those who had been following their travels.
Back home, their families were waiting for their safe return. Jamie’s brother, Nick Meek, gave a statement describing the moment they realized something was terribly wrong. “We were expecting him to land at 6:30pm, then drive up to collect his dog from our mum’s house,” Nick said. “She’s not in a good way. It’s all very raw. We only found out a couple of hours ago.” The family, like many others affected by the crash, is struggling to come to terms with the sudden and devastating loss.
The Wellness Foundry, the couple’s business based in Vauxhall, London, has gained a loyal following over the years. Known for offering tarot readings, psychic sessions, and aura interpretations, the company has attracted high-profile clients including Netflix, Google, and Dior. What began as a deeply personal journey for Fiongal turned into a successful and respected brand within the spiritual community. He founded the business in 2018 after experiencing a spiritual awakening that followed a mysterious illness, an event that changed the course of his life and career.
Jamie officially joined The Wellness Foundry as a co-director in 2023, expanding the brand to include life coaching and wellness events. Together, they built a dynamic and complementary partnership, with Jamie bringing structure, outreach, and additional services to a growing audience. The brand quickly grew in both reach and reputation, appealing to clients seeking a deeper connection to themselves and their energy.
Their public presence expanded beyond the digital space. Earlier this year, Fiongal appeared on the UK daytime television show This Morning, where he performed live aura readings with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. It was an opportunity he described as their “biggest gig so far,” and it significantly raised their visibility. Fiongal also made guest appearances on the popular podcast NewlyWeds, hosted by Made in Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, where he conducted tarot readings for the hosts and discussed the growing popularity of spiritual wellness practices in the modern world.
The media took notice of the duo’s rising profile. Their work and story have been featured in notable publications such as Time Out, The Times, and the Daily Mail. With a mix of charisma, authenticity, and expertise, the couple became a respected voice in the wellness space, offering not just services but also inspiration to many who followed their journey.
In 2022, Jamie and Fiongal married, sharing glimpses of their love story with their community. Their Instagram showed snapshots of a vibrant countryside wedding filled with joy, friends, and celebration. Later, they held a second ceremony in Las Vegas, further displaying their unique style and deep connection. Their love, creativity, and shared mission to help others were at the heart of everything they did.
Their sudden passing is not only a personal tragedy for their loved ones but also a significant loss to the wider community they built and nurtured. The spiritual wellness space they helped shape will feel their absence deeply, as will the clients, friends, and followers who looked to them for guidance, healing, and inspiration.
As the investigation into the crash continues and families wait for more information, tributes are pouring in online. Followers of The Wellness Foundry are sharing messages of love, sorrow, and gratitude for the wisdom, hope, and compassion that Jamie and Fiongal brought into their lives. Though their lives were tragically cut short, their legacy remains. Through their work, their words, and their vision, Jamie and Fiongal touched the hearts of many, leaving behind a powerful reminder of the beauty found in connection, love, and purpose.
