Program Components
Modern Science
Our program is based on the latest neuroscience of how the brain is able to change itself through neuroplasticity and how we can use this to our advantage to create beneficial habitual patterns.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness teaches us to train our brain to pay attention to particular thoughts, emotions or sensations to ensure our choices determine positive mental habits that develop the results we want.
Emotional Intelligence
EQ teaches us to become sensitive and aware to our own and others emotional fluctuations and learn to discriminate wisely between them to ensure they do not inappropriately influence ours or others decision making.
Nutrition & Fitness
Good mental and physical health starts with a healthy gut microbiome, good nutrition and regular exercise. Our prograns provide daily guides that will help improve mental focus, energy levels and resilience.
Mindfulness trains the mind to become aware of awareness itself and to pay attention to one’s own intention.
