Mental Health
Move your way, in your time, with meaning.
Professionally guided lifestyle modifications and physical activity programs are proven to boost your mood, manage sleep patterns, improve concentration, and lower stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Benefits of our movement programs
Find enjoyment
It may be difficult to start, and we understand the word ‘exercise’ can be intimidating. An individualised program will explore different motivating factors, and create helpful habits through pairing activities with enjoyable and regular tasks an individual can find purpose and meaning in.
Manage symptoms
Lifestyle, exercise, and behavioural strategies improve physical and psychological symptoms, regulate the nervous system, control medication induced weight gain, and help reduce severity of mental illness. Movement really is medicine when integrated with routine psychological and psychiatric treatments.
Knowledge is power
Through professional advice and education, adopting research-driven self-management strategies will help to effectively monitor and implement small changes into daily life. This can include gradually learning to balance daily output between physical activity, sleep patterning, diet behaviours, cognitive & sensory loads, social interactions, emotional stressors, and psychological therapies.
Empower change
Determine realistic and achievable goals dependant on your lifestyle, movement history, and readiness to enable change. Programs support healthy interactions, building networks, and can continue to adapt as physical and psychological health improves with activity.
