FOUNDER

Joel Jelen.

I’ve always been fascinated by performance, especially in sport and business.

This one’s for younger viewers 🙂 I’ll never forget seeing Viv Richards’ nonchalance as a batsman.

Then there’s individuals in business, people like David Wade Smith.

Both bring the sense of calmness in productivity that you need to perform at the top level in work and life.

I once met this doctor that I interviewed (I’ve worked in the PR industry for more than two decades) who alluded to this through the notion of mastering breathwork and how you could master your nervous system as a result.

Emily Kirkcaldy

Did you know poor sleep quality can often be attributed to poor tongue posture during the day?

That not resting your tongue on your palate when e.g. not talking prevents lymph gland drainage and weakens your immune system?

That how we position and use our facial muscles has a huge impact on our daily productivity and health including our emotional wellbeing?

Better sleep and facial aesthetics, improved digestion and nervous system regulation are just a few of many reasons why you need to know about Myofunctional Therapy!

Emily Kirkcaldy is an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist, Specialist Speech and Language Therapist and fellow Buteyko Breathing Instructor, with over 20 years experience as a Health Care Practitioner.

Welcome to the team Emily!

Alison Blackler

I met Alison (pictured centre with her brilliant book ‘A Path Travelled’) through client Wellness In The City Liverpool in 2023 and she’s a whirlwind of a woman in productivity & performance circles. I just had to invite her as a fellow author to speak about her work at the launch of my book in the summer – where this cool pic with 7 other authors i invited originates.
