Why Accelerated Online Therapy?

Nature and me go way back. Growing up in the Irish countryside, my siblings and I were often shooed outside until dinner was ready, giving us endless hours of playtime. I didn't know it then, but those years of 'play' have shaped my outlook on mental health today.

As a teenager, I had the opportunity to go on outdoor expeditions and I remember on my first trek, the leader had us stop, take off our rucksacks, and sit quietly for ten minutes. A novel feeling of awe & gratitude washed over me - my first experience of deliberate mindfulness in nature.

University life pulled me indoors and away from nature, joining the surf club rekindled that connection. My first sunset surf was unforgettable, being a beginner didn't stop me from appreciating the glistening waves or the sound of the water against the surfboard; the moment took me out of my head & back into my body. Adventure sports often bring a quick connection to mind & body, making you feel truly alive. The university skydiving club did that for me - each jump was a wake-up call. But I've since learned through other practices that you don't need extreme sports to fully connect with your senses. Going on a 10-day silent retreat and doing my doctorate research on therapists' mindfulness helped me appreciate the soft, subtle sights & sounds of the present moment.

Rhythm Reset brings together evidence-based tools as well as my personal and professional skills to offer a new way of living well now (rather than waiting for your next holiday!). One that reconnects you with your needs and the simple rhythms & joys of everyday life.
