Diana Luke

Diana Luke is a Canadian-born radio presenter and hypnotherapist who grew up in Toronto, Ontario and has worked in the UK since 1974.
Luke retired from radio on 18 December 2016, to concentrate on her Mind Being Well Workshops for corporate groups around the UK and Clinical Hypnotherapy. She presented a regular syndicated show broadcast simultaneously on several BBC regional radio stations Sheffield, Leeds, York and Humberside on a Sunday night between 9pm and 1am.
