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.

Let's Talk About How You Get Started
Boost your Mood
Walk Yourself Happier Audio Series
For lots of people the typical day looks like: get up, leave home, go to work, come home again, go to bed. You can find yourself navigating between work and home and back again which makes coping with stress, anxiety and depression harder. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with slumping down on the couch now and again after a hard day, but it might not leave much room for a fresh dose of perspective. Think how easy it is to dwell on your problems when you cocoon yourself at home, or how hard it is to see beyond your stress when you spend too much time at the office.
Now imagine how good it might feel if, instead of heading straight to the office first thing in the morning, or eating lunch at your desk, or going straight home in the evening, you put your earphones in and took a therapeutic walk wherever you are in the world. The popular narrative is to hustle hard all day, but planning microbreaks or pauses during your day is unlikely to hinder your output. In fact, studies show it actually boosts productivity and reduces stress which means a walk outside may be the ticket you need to inject a sense of vigour into your busy day.
There's something about fresh air that's energising, right? You feel happier, more content and your whole being benefits when you step outside. The Walk Yourself Happier series could be the change of scenery you need to reset your mindset and enhance your wellbeing. When life's feeling hard, a 'good walk' is like turning a laptop on-and-off again when it's stalling.
It can feel comforting to have someone walking alongside you as you step into your internal world and enjoy moments of stillness in nature. There's a different walk for different needs, so find the one that fits your situation best. You'll have empathic support from a highly-trained therapist with bitesize psychology tips & tricks woven in to help you weather whatever storm you're facing and still have space to just 'be' with your experience as you walk.
The audios are a subtle fusion of walking meditation, forest bathing, psychoeducation from various therapeutic modalities (CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR - click here for more info) and reflective therapeutic questions. They validate your thoughts and feelings yet encourage you to expand your perspective at the same time. Designed by a psychologist, it makes those difficult periods feel less isolating and as you walk, you reconnect with your intuition and the natural world.
If you're ready for a change of scenery and a natural way to restore, let's get outside and decompress a little.
