Meet the founder:
Anette
Philosophy
“Our brains are constantly predicting and scanning for safety, patterns, and possibility. How we show up, make decisions, and respond is shaped not just by what we know, but by the state of our nervous system in the moment and the context we are in.
When we practice awareness, regulation, and presence, the nervous system begins to learn new patterns. This updates the brain’s predictions, so over time we’re less likely to default into survival-based responses.
Over time, we can begin to respond with more clarity, feel more connected to ourselves, and expand our capacity for healthier boundaries and a better life.”
Background
Professional Experience:
Anette brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work.
With over 15 years in education, leadership development, and learning design, she has supported individuals, teams, and cultures through change across diverse settings, designing and delivering inclusive development programmes where people can thrive.
Her background is in biomedical science and education, where she trained and worked as a science teacher and Specialist Leader of Education. She then moved into leadership development, learning design, and coaching, and continues to draw on her scientific foundation to bring an evidence-based approach to sustainable change.
Lived Experience:
“With a late neurodivergent diagnosis, I have first-hand experience of the strain of complexity and nervous system dysregulation in high-demand environments. I’m still learning what it really means to stay connected to myself in real time, especially in moments of pressure, overwhelm, and relational demand. Over time, I’ve discovered that understanding regulation isn’t enough; it has to be embodied in how I relate to myself and others, including how I begin to notice my limits and communicate needs more clearly. I bring together lived experience, science, and professional training to walk alongside others in building that same capacity.”
Anette is originally from South Africa and have lived in the UK for the past 26 years. She’s a keen photographer who loves capturing nature scenes and is well-travelled. She finds inspiration in the diversity of people and places she’s encountered along the way.
Anette feels most grounded when walking in nature, practicing yoga, wild swimming, or exploring functional breathwork. She also has a deep love for circus arts and cats are her favourite companions.
Anette is committed to her own growth and self-awareness, continually learning and deepening her healing journey.
