“Claire was a pleasure to work with and really embraced the brand ethos and messaging we were trying to get across for our event. Guests loved the experience and fully immersed themselves which was great to see!”
The Problem:
When we are overwhelmed and stressed we underperform. The pressure of London living, sedentary lifestyles and technology can create stresses and strains that leave our brain foggy and nervous system shot.
The Solution:
A unique blend of simple yet transformative practices which quickly and effectively restore balance in the body and brain – lowering stress hormones, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, stimulating clear and creative thinking.
Backed by the latest scientific research and based on breathwork, meditation, mindfulness and nature connection, once mastered these practices can be used to restore calm and balance at any time.
