On this call we'll

Work out where your energy is actually going.

Look at what a normal day and night looks like for you right now
Show you how the 8 weeks would work around the shifts you already do
Tell you honestly if this isn't right for you, and what to try instead

Sound familiar?

You're brilliant at looking after people. Just not yourself.

I look after patients all day, then go home and look after everyone there too.

I'm shattered by three in the afternoon, and wide awake at two in the morning.

I'm on my third coffee before lunch, and it's barely touching the sides.

I snap at the people I love most, then feel awful about it.

I know all the advice. I give it to my patients. I just can't make it work for me.

What you learn

Six sessions. Eight weeks. Three things you keep for life.

No overhauling your life and no finding hours you don't have. It's six sessions, with tools built for the day you already live.

Switch your stress response off on demand

You learn how your nervous system actually works, and the breathing techniques that bring it back down. So you can perform under pressure at work, and properly rest when you stop.

Change how you meet a hard day

Stress isn't going anywhere, and some of it is useful. You learn to shift from a "threat" state to a "challenge" state, so the same shift takes far less out of you.

Make it stick without willpower

Every tool is tied to something you already do, using proven behaviour change research. That's why it's eight weeks, and why it still works when life gets busy again.

How it works

Simple enough to do on your worst week.

Day one

We score your energy

Before we change anything, we measure where you are. That number is your starting line.

Weeks 1 to 8

Six 1:1 sessions with me

An hour each, online, just the two of us. Each one gives you a tool to use that same week.

Week 8

We score it again

Same questions, new number. You see exactly how far you've come.

Proof built in

You don't have to take my word for it. You'll see it in numbers.

We score your energy on day one and again at week 8, so you see the change for yourself. Not a feeling. A number.

Day oneYour starting score

Week 8Your new score

Illustration only. Your own scores are measured with you in session one and again in week 8.

My
promise

If your energy score hasn't moved by week 8, I keep working with you until it does.

You're not paying to try. You're paying for the number to move.

In their words

What people say after working with Marlene.

As someone who finds it difficult to not over analyse or overthink in general, this was a great opportunity to quiet my mind and body. You have a calm disposition, which put me at ease.

Thank you for sharing your time and expertise. It was hugely beneficial to me and has opened my eyes to coping strategies for stress and anxious thoughts.

Daniel MillerPoole

Very relaxed and professional delivery. Marlene is very knowledgeable on the subject and relaxed the whole group from the outset. Easy to follow and very beneficial.

Who you'll be working with

I'm Marlene Gorman. I've spent nearly two decades on your side of healthcare.

I'm a registered healthcare professional and a Specialist Respiratory Physiotherapist. I know what it is to give everything to patients all day and have nothing left when you get home.

I founded Adapt Wellness to take the fear out of stress. I take the research on stress and the nervous system, and turn it into simple shifts you can keep up for good.

This isn't about getting rid of stress. That isn't possible, and some of it is useful. It's about learning to switch it off when the shift is over.

Straight answer

Who this is not for

You're looking for therapy, counselling or medical treatment. This is none of those.
You want a quick fix. The tools are simple, but you do have to use them between sessions.
You're not ready to give six hours to yourself across eight weeks.

Questions

Before you book

Is this therapy or counselling?

No. Adapt Wellness doesn't offer therapy or counselling, and this isn't medical treatment. It's a practical programme that teaches you how your stress response works and gives you the tools to manage it.

Why eight weeks?

The length comes from the research on habit formation. The time it takes to form a new habit varies, but on average it's about eight weeks. That gives you time to use what you learn in real life, so the change lasts.

How do the sessions work?

There are six sessions, one to one with me, each an hour long. They're delivered online, so there's no travel to fit in around your shifts.

I barely have time to eat lunch. How will I fit this in?

That's who this is built for. There's no overhauling your life and no finding hours you don't have. It's six sessions, with tools designed to be used inside the day you already live.

What if it doesn't work for me?

We score your energy on day one and again at week 8, so you can see the change in numbers. If your score hasn't moved by week 8, I keep working with you until it does.

What if I need a bit more time?

Everyone's journey is different. If you'd benefit from extra time on a specific part of the programme, additional sessions are available.
