Mind Your Stress is a one-to-one stress-management training program aimed at executives, managers and business owners whose levels of stress are affecting their work and home life. Living with high levels of anxiety derails your business and life goals by impacting your engagement, productivity and relationships.
This program, tailored to your particular stress patterns, equips you with a range of tools and techniques to manage your stress so you can thrive, prosper and reach your goals.
At the start of your Mind Your Stress training, you explore every facet of stress in your life:
Once we’ve established your Stress Map, we set about putting in place strategies to help you mitigate and manage the stress in your work and home life so you have the energy and headspace to live your life to the full, both professionally and personally.
By learning to use the breath as a tool you can manage your emotional state and the way you think. Practice a range of breathing techniques to destress and calm as well as to find focus and clarity in times of stress.
By learning to release tension from the body and calm the nervous system you disrupt your stress response. Explore a range of destressing techniques including desk-bound targeted stretches, relaxation poses and yoga sequences.
By practising heart rate variability (HRV) you benefit your physical health, emotional wellbeing and cognitive performance such as focus and concentration. Adopt this simple practice to unleash a big impact!
By developing self-awareness, you become more centred and fully present in your business. Explore a range of mindfulness techniques to help you disrupt anxiety loops and live in the present moment.
Narrative and drawing practice are used to guide expression around your professional and family life. Reassess your path and priorities to nurture reconnection with your inner self and life goals.
Quality sleep and relaxation is essential for optimum performance and concentration. Master the ‘relaxation response’ and explore pre-sleep routines that set you up for a good night’s sleep and a refreshed start to your day.
One of the most effective ways to break your stress cycle is to remove yourself from your stressful environments – both personal and professional.
You’ll receive your Mind Your Stress training in a small village by the sea on the west Norfolk coast, England. You’ll stay in Bridget’s house (a registered B&B with a five-star rated kitchen), enjoy sessions in her training studio, eat healthy home-cooked food at her table and enjoy some nature therapy along the beach and tidal creek.
Heacham village is 3 hours from London by car, or come by train from Kings Cross in under two hours for collection at King’s Lynn station.
The core part of the Mind Your Stress training takes place over 3 residential days (with two nights). There is an option to book another night and ‘practice day’ to help you embed the new practices and techniques you will take home with you.
Ongoing virtual support is offered for a month following the residential training, which includes bi-weekly sessions. These one-hour sessions are designed to support you as you learn to manage your stress. They can be used as yoga/stretching/breathing sessions or as calls to track and share your progress – or both. Continued virtual support can be arranged if desired.
Since we’ll be working closely for three days, I’d like to have a discovery call with you first to see if we are a good fit and how I can support you.
3-day residential training + one month virtual support

Hi there, I’m Bridget.
My two loves are business & wellness. When you work with me you benefit from my expertise & experience in both these fields.
I came close to a burnout when I ran my own company in Beijing, China for over a decade while bringing up my three children. I experienced the destructive impact of stress on professional & home life – so I empathise with your situation.
I’m proud of the Mind Your Stress program; my goal is to offer a more body-led, holistic, nurturing approach to managing & freeing you from stress.
I ask you to fill in a form before the call so I have a picture of how stress is affecting your life. We use the call to see how – and whether – the Mind Your Stress program could support you to get the transformation you are seeking. The call is also your opportunity to ask me anything about the program and my work.
I run the program during the week, generally from Monday to Wednesday, with the possibility to add an extra ‘Practice Day’ on the Thursday.
If you are eligible to access your organisation’s training budget, you can sign up here to receive your Mind Your Stress Application Kit. It includes all the documents you need to ask for funding from your management and/or HR department.
During the program, you are building a skillset that will have a long-lasting effect in your life – both business and personal. You will benefit from the skillset as long as you keep practising & adapting it to your needs. The real transformation is in realising that the stress doesn’t go away; your reaction and attitude towards it changes.
The program includes one month’s virtual support. This includes bi-weekly one-hour calls which can be used as yoga/breathing/stretching sessions or as calls to support and track your progress. You can extend the virtual support for as long as you need it.
I don’t define myself as a yoga teacher or breath coach. I am a business woman whose entrepreneurial energy has been redirected from the language to the wellness industry. I wanted to move from working with documents to working with people, and to share a wellness skillset I had been developing for my own needs during my career.
