Reduce Internal Friction.
Think Clearly. Lead Well.
Precision somatic work for people carrying high levels of responsibility.
When responsibility is sustained, friction accumulates.
Decision fatigue increases. Cognitive load compounds. Subtle tension becomes chronic.
Internal drag reduces bandwidth long before burnout appears. This work addresses friction at the structural, regulatory and relational level - removing interference so clarity can re-emerge.
Most people operating under sustained responsibility don't collapse suddenly. They override friction gradually - until the cost becomes undeniable.

Burnout
Collapse
I work at the friction stage - before collapse.
Friction is not failure. It is the natural byproduct of carrying load without sufficient capacity to process and release what accumulates in the process.
When friction reduces, bandwidth returns. Decisions become clearer. Recovery becomes complete. The capacity to think and lead well is restored - not through willpower, but through coherence.
Depth emerges through permission, not pressure.
Three Domains of Work
This work addresses friction across three interconnected layers. The approach is precise, grounded in somatic practice and designed to reveal coherence rather than impose change.
Structural
Structural friction is addressed primarily through MyoReformation - a precise, hands-on modality working directly with chronic contraction and holding patterns. When the body carries unprocessed tension, cognitive bandwidth is consumed managing what should be automatic. This work restores the physical foundation that supports clear thinking.
Regulatory
State capacity and nervous system flexibility. Most people operating under sustained responsibility develop narrow regulatory ranges. This creates internal rigidity and reduces adaptive capacity. Regulatory work expands state flexibility and restores the ability to regulate under load.
Patterns of connection and isolation. Carrying responsibility alone creates distortion. Relational work addresses how friction accumulates in the absence of appropriate support structures and recalibrates perception through connection with others who understand the territory.
Relational
This work does not impose a model of optimisation. It removes interference so the clarity and coherence already present beneath accumulated tension can re-emerge.
For those who value objective data, biological baseline assessments provide insight into terrain and recovery capacity. Used selectively, not obsessively.
Work With Me
Initial conversations are designed to determine fit and clarify the most appropriate pathway forward.
Available options include 1:1 somatic work and the Entrepreneur Coherence Lab for those operating in entrepreneurial roles.
