We are a not-for-profit enterprise dedicated to sharing our mindfulness-based approach to performance & transforming the image of mental wellbeing.
Luke Doherty trained as an elite rugby player and was capped for England under-18's. He earned a degree and Postgrad diploma in Law as well as advanced-level mindfulness training qualifications from Breathworks and the Oxford University Mindfulness Centre. He's since been dedicated to devising and delivering bespoke mindfulness programmes for some of the UK's leading athletes and forward thinking executives, working with Premiership rugby and football players, Olympians and Team GB athletes. His innovative approaches using mindfulness have received national media coverage and he's part of a consortium which advises the Dept. of Health and Social Care.
"Training at the elite level was intense and there was little attention paid to how it affects your performance and wellbeing. Friends I knew committed suicide under the pressure. I realised the mindfulness I’ve since learned is perfect for athletes, just as it is for the peopleI was working with in my community who are also facing intense stress in their daily lives."

OUR APPROACH TO MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is about being fully present and engaged in what you are doing
Mindfulness involves becoming more consistently aware of your physical feelings, thoughts and emotions without judging them or getting distracted. Using simple techniques and as little as 10 minutes practice per day you can become happier, calmer and better able to perform well whatever you are doing, especially under pressure.
1
Performance and wellbeing are two sides of the same coin.
Our approach makes your mind more focused, calm and non-judgemental which makes you both perform and feel better. It connects you with purpose in your life which means you can work, train, and live more effectively and happily.
2
Mindfulness isn’t mysterious, religious or off in clouds.
It’s a simple, down-to-earth approach to living and working which is scientifically-backed and easily practicable by absolutely anybody. We speak plainly, teach exercises which are straight forward and connect them directly with situations in your life.
2
Mindfulness is as much about your body as your mind.
We’re a mind-obsessed society and mindfulness is often taught with this cerebral bias. Our mindfulness develops mind and body awareness. We use body sensations as a central focus and, like physical training, encourage short, regular repetitions of these exercises.
