Workplace stress costs the global economy a staggering $2.8 trillion each year. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to reduce this figure, one business at a time.

Outcomes companies experience after implementing my stress reduction programmes include:

  • Better decisions / fewer mistakes

  • Less absenteeism / presenteeism

  • Well-rested staff who sleep better

  • Increased resilience & productivity

  • Talent retention

  • Early returns from sick leave

  • Happier, healthier employees

  • Greater creativity & innovation

You can’t make a profit without your people firing on all cylinders.

For the past 10 years, I’ve helped small start-ups to multi-billion-pound organisations improve their teams’ mental resilience and wellbeing through proven, evidence-based mindfulness training.

I burned out during my 28 years at global powerhouse IBM. So, I really understand:

  • The constant feeling of overwhelm

  • The inability to switch off and sleep

  • Stress that impacts everything you do

FROM TEMPORARY RELIEF
to permanent resilience

I’M HERE TO MAKE THE CHANGE STICK

Most wellness programmes offer moments of calm — a quick fix. Massages and team day trips, for example, lead to altered states, typically lasting minutes or hours.

My approach goes deeper. I help your people turn those fleeting moments into lasting change — altered traits like resilience, focus, and emotional balance.
