Why holistic?

Stress is systemic—so is our method.

Acute stress is a signal that nutrition, sleep, workflows, somatic recovery, or tool stacks are out of alignment. We map your landscape, shore up the easiest wins first, and build a living system that keeps your nervous system informed—not overwhelmed.

Below are the six pillars we iterate with. You don’t need to overhaul everything at once—start with the area creating the loudest friction and we’ll cross-pollinate improvements across the others.

Holistic Stress Map

Nine pillars, three mindsets

Regulate the body

Energy, sleep, and somatic resets keep the nervous system steady.

Nutrition & Energy

Fuel clarity through deliberate nourishment.

Guides on stabilising blood sugar, micronutrient support, hydration, and caffeine management to keep cognitive load smooth throughout the day.

Sleep & Recovery

Anchor rest to stay antifragile.

Evening wind-downs, light exposure, sleep debt tracking, and micro-recovery breaks tuned to calm the HPA axis and rebuild reserves.

Mind & Body

Somatic practices to metabolise stress.

Breathing protocols, posture resets, mindful micro-pauses, and emotional granularity exercises to keep the body and mind aligned.

Refine the systems

Design workflows, AI guardrails, and tactile buffers that remove friction.

Work Systems

Design workflows that protect focus.

Protocols for task batching, async rituals, and recovery cadences so the calendar and inbox stop hijacking your nervous system.

AI Support

Let assistants carry the admin load.

Prompt systems, review workflows, and governance principles so AI handles the repetitive tasks while you stay intentional.

Analog Tools

Tactile aids to soothe and focus.

Printable planners, mindful colouring, journaling scripts, and tactile routines that anchor you back into the physical world.

Expand the horizon

Learning, context, and purpose so small routines ladder up to meaning.

Neuroplasticity

Train the brain to adapt and recover.

Habits, learning sprints, and mindful rehearsal that reshape neural pathways so stress responses become more flexible and resilient.

Societal Impact

Contextualise stressors in the systems around us.

Macro-level research on policy, economics, and cultural shifts that influence daily stress loads—because self-care lives within shared structures.

Purpose & Direction

Align decisions with what actually matters.

Frameworks for meaning-making, value audits, and future casting so actions stay connected to a motivating personal narrative.

Where to begin

Quick self-scan

Notice where stress shows up first: digestion, sleep, schedule chaos, physical tension? Start with that pillar and stabilise a single habit.

Pair pillars

Improvements stick when anchors reinforce each other—link sleep cues with analog tools, or nutrition shifts with workday rituals.
