Online or in the room
For teams.
Sessions for people who are paid to stay switched on.
Sustained pressure, decision fatigue, always-on communication. It accumulates in the body.
I work in tech and spent years in consulting, so I know what the week before a release costs. These sessions are built for people who've never sat still on purpose. Everything is measured, and reports only ever show the group.

How a session runs.
75 minutes, online or in the room.
Arrive
A check-in. What's in the room today.
The physiology
What stress does in the body and what moves it.
Breathe
Guided breathwork, paced to the group.
Stillness & debrief
Integration, then a few words on taking it back to the desk.
The app.
Everyone gets the Hold app between sessions. You get a dashboard of the group's progress – never one person's data.
How data is protected →Why it works.
Breathwork acts directly on the part of the nervous system that runs stress, recovery, focus and sleep.
Read the research →Activates the vagus nerve, the body's off-switch for stress
Shifts the body out of fight-or-flight within one session
Regular practice raises the baseline
Questions.
A perk is optional and unmeasured. This is delivered to the team as a unit, with a baseline, a closing measurement and a report.
Online is the default and works well: people are already somewhere they can lie down. In person for offsites and events.
One email and a calendar invite. I handle invitations, the app, surveys and the report.
A stress questionnaire at week 1 and week 6, daily check-ins, participation, and wearable data for anyone who connects one. You only ever see group numbers.
No. Whoop connects today. Apple Watch and Oura will come through Apple Health once the iPhone app is out, and the daily check-in works for everyone.
Five to twenty per live session. Larger organisations run parallel groups.
Everyone completes a short screening. Anyone pregnant or with a heart, breathing or seizure condition gets a modified practice. It isn't medical treatment.
A fixed quote per engagement, in writing after a short call. No per-head fees, no lock-in.
