A compassion-based healing community supporting recovery from fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and other stress-based conditions. Befriend your mind, body, heart and nervous system so that you can experience that you are innately self-healing and whole.
Nature does not hurry and neither do we. We all heal in a unique way so there is nothing to achieve here.
We teach you evidence based skills to re-train the brain, nourish your nervous system and harmonise your mind-body connection to recover from chronic fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety, trauma and chronic illness.
We support the resilience and flexibility of your nervous system to heal chronic symptoms, teach you how to befriend your mind; your personality patterns, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and we honour unique social factors and spiritual connection (all faiths are welcome).
We help people to stop leaving their inner wisdom to consume diets, programs, and supplements from a state of disembodied fear. To instead tend and Befriend their unique mind-body with compassion and curiosity in their daily lives.
All our practices are focused on building your relationship with your mind and body, for symptom resolution, not dominating them. We particularly enjoy working with highly sensitive people (HSP’s). If you are doing other programs you are welcome here. This is a collaborative not a competitive space.

There are no marketing gimmicks of this being the ‘best’ or ‘only’ way, or some kind of proprietary special sauce designed to appeal to vulnerable populations. We teach you practices that help you experience that your body is innately self-healing and that you are the special sauce and source of your recovery.
We are passionately against all forms of gurus, people packaging healing in expensive ways when it belongs to us all, any ideology that inspires fear, including diets, lifestyles, and shame-based religious doctrine. We do not support psychedelic plant teachers being turned into consumerism. We invite you to join us in spotting the bullshit and instead finding our own authentic paths in life that help us be more unashamedly ourselves—together.
