Work is full of relationships - with coworkers, clients, leaders, and teams - and none of us leave our personal histories at the office door. The ways we react, communicate, and cope under pressure are shaped by lived experience. Yes, these relationships are professional. But just because these professional relationships are happening at work doesn’t mean they are free from past experiences that inform how we react to them.
We coined our therapeutic approach to business as The Nervous System of Work™, to equip your people with tools to manage tension, prevent burnout, and lead under pressure - together. Think of it as stress science, translated into tools you’ll actually use by 3pm.
We partner with you to understand, build, and maintain The Nervous System of Work™

What you can expect when you work with us…
No slide decks, no ice breakers
We might show up in jeans. We laugh in sessions. We’re not here to perform - we’re here to work with your team. We approach organizational work the same way we do clinical work: real, humble, and human.
Evidence based - always
With over 20 years of combined experience, we’ve done the hard work in some of the toughest contexts - from the Downtown Eastside to correctional institutions. What we bring isn’t just theory; it’s what’s been tested, refined, and proven in real life.
What we bring
We come equipped with the deep clinical training and the human practice - the kind that helps people feel seen, steady, and capable when the room gets tense. Our work lives in the middle of the mess, not above it. That’s where real change happens.
FAQ’s
-
Most leadership or wellness initiatives focus on mindset or behaviour. We start with the nervous system. We teach teams how to regulate stress, communicate through conflict, and recover faster from pressure. It’s not about theory; it’s about what people can actually use on a chaotic day.
-
Our work is designed for teams and organizations that want to go beyond awareness and build emotional skill. We work with leaders, managers, and intact teams who are navigating growth, change, or tension - anywhere stress and communication patterns impact performance.
-
We design everything from 90-minute interactive trainings to full-day offsites and multi-session programs. Every engagement is customized - whether it’s focused on conflict navigation, boundary-setting, psychological safety, or leadership resilience.
-
No. While our background is clinical, our work in organizations is educational and applied. We help people understand their stress responses and build tools for self-regulation, communication, and leadership - all within a professional, work-focused context.
-
We work with you to define what “better” looks like - reduced burnout, improved feedback culture, higher psychological safety, or smoother communication. Then we use pre/post reflections, qualitative feedback, and leadership check-ins to track progress over time.
-
Before any custom sessions, we learn more about your team through short interviews or surveys to understand your culture, pressure points, and language. We use that insight to design sessions that resonate and feel grounded in your real context, not generic slides. In fact, we don’t even use slides!
-
Expect movement, conversation, and practical takeaways - not lectures. We mix evidence-based frameworks with reflection, small-group discussion, and techniques teams can use the next day. We might bring a bit of humour, too.
-
Absolutely. We have coached and counselled senior leaders across sectors, including high-stakes environments like healthcare, tech, and justice. We’re comfortable in the boardroom - and know how to keep it real.
-
Start with a short discovery call. We’ll learn about your goals, audience, and context, then recommend a format that fits. From there, we co-design the experience and handle the logistics so your team can focus on showing up.
