A picture paints a thousand words, so here’s a whole reel of them 🙌 Our first ResetU retreat, and what a weekend it was!

We don’t just take people away for a nice break. We send them home with tools for life 🌱

Karma simply means action. Turning up to a weekend full of strangers, trying things that are brand new and at times properly challenging (ice baths, we’re looking at you 🧊), takes real courage. That first brave step is where the healing starts.

Saturday night was our conscious connected breathwork. Our own extended, adapted version that gives people the time and space to go deeper than they’ve been before. For many, it was the moment the whole weekend came together 🔥

And the food! Every meal home cooked by us, all vegetarian and vegan (well, mainly by Miranda. I do the chopping! 😂). With Miranda being a nutritional therapist, every plate is not only delicious, it has nutrition at its heart. Plenty of sceptics arrived worried about a veggie weekend. Everyone left loving the food 🥗

The whole group went home with true friends. We heard “life changing” more than once. People found an inner strength they thought they’d lost.

And that’s the real key. We don’t hand people the answers. They are the answer. Who’d have known? It was looking back at them in the mirror all along 🪞

Huge thanks to Oscar Kilo for making this happen, to ResetU for their trailblazing vision, and to every brave soul who joined us. The tears, the belly laughs and the pure joy were all yours ❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

P.S. A big shout out to Erannan at Niku Naku Sauna for hosting us and making it brilliant 🧖

BIG LOVE Sam & Miranda 🙏

What a day with a brilliant group of police leaders! 🙌

Our Leading Under Pressure workshop started with the science. How the breath shapes the nervous system, the accelerator and the brake, and why many of us breathe far more than we need to.

The aim isn’t always to be calm. It’s to be in the right state to respond well. 🫁

Then we got practical. Resilience, response and recovery, including a version of our more powerful dynamic breathwork.

And of course... we finished with the cold. 🧊

After a talk on how a daily cold water practice can support you, theory became practice. Into the ice baths they went!

We’ve already had lots of incredible feedback, which means a great deal. ❤️

Thank you to Chris for hosting and delivering such a brilliant three-day programme on behalf of Oscar Kilo, and to Andy Rhodes OBE QPM and the whole Oscar Kilo team for their ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of officers and staff.

BIG LOVE
Sam & Miranda ❤️

On Monday we visited the retreat venue to finalise plans for our first Oscar Kilo / ResetU residential retreat next week! 🏔️

In the Royal Marines we have a saying: “Prior Planning and Preparation Prevents P**s Poor Performance!” 😂

Sessions, meal times, risk assessments for every activity. Preparation is key! 📋

We walk the route and check it for any risks, access, mobility and timings. 🥾

Then there’s the water! 🌊 This is where planning really matters. So what better way to check it out than to get in it ourselves? 😅

In the mountains, open water can change by the hour. So as well as a thorough assessment beforehand, I always do a second, dynamic assessment on the day itself. That’s why the right training (STA Open Water Coach) is essential. 🏊‍♂️

On the day, we’ll carry all the right kit to keep our people safe. 🛟

The water is getting colder quite rapidly each week! ❄️ So our attendees will be fully briefed on how to get in and how to breathe correctly. Most of all, we want them to have an incredible, safe experience. 🙏

We’re so excited, and we hope all our participants are too! 🔥

Let’s do this! 💪

BIG LOVE Sam & Miranda ❤️

“This is the real secret of life. To be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realise it is play.” Alan Watts

I’ve just looked through the work diary... the last day off we had was three weeks ago! 😲

When you run your own company, there’s always something to do. Even writing this is work, I suppose!

Like Alan Watts says, we don’t see what we do for a living as work. We genuinely don’t. But sometimes it’s good to just turn it all off and have a day of doing absolutely NOTHING. Nada. Zilch! 😌

Taking time off is so important, so today we’re doing just that.

A day of self-indulgence, eating things we wouldn’t normally eat, lying on the couch and watching films! 🍿

What are you doing for yourself today?

Sending LOVE to one and all.

Two days at the Oscar Kilo National Conference and Awards, and we’ve come home with full hearts 🙏✨

It was brilliant to catch up with so many wellbeing and occupational health teams, and all the incredible partners working alongside OK 🤝

We ran two breathwork sessions for attendees, and they were incredibly well received 🌬️ We taught people how to breathe functionally, and how to use the breath to down-regulate the nervous system and build HRV. Real tools for real jobs 💪

Two talks really stayed with us.

Pete, Helena and Jordan, frontline officers from South Yorkshire Police. Injured in service, they now support their peers through Operation Hampshire. Remarkable people 👏

And Chief Inspector Jason Pye, who led the Southport enquiry. He now uses breathwork and meditation for his own wellbeing and tracks his HRV with support from the Merseyside Police wellbeing team, Oscar Kilo and Professor Carol Cox at Liverpool John Moores University. Hearing an officer share how he looks after himself, having led the enquiry into such a devastating tragedy, reminded us exactly why we do this.

Everything we do is for officers like these. People who serve our communities bravely, often at real cost to themselves and their families 💙

We’re proud partners on the ResetU app 📱 bringing breathwork into policing. Our Back to Balance course launched on ResetU in September with over 70 officers and staff from across England and Wales, the first of four, with retreats to follow 🌿

After a great catch-up with Nathan, we’re so excited about where ResetU is heading. Watch this space 👀🚀

Huge thanks to Andy Rhodes, Jo, Jenna, Carole and the whole team at Oscar Kilo and the College of Policing who make it all happen 🙌

BIG LOVE ❤️

Morning all! 😎☀️

Home yesterday from our second retreat at this magical spot, and our hearts are full to bursting all over again 🥰💛

What an incredible group of humans ✨ We are so grateful to every one of you, you truly made the weekend so so special! 🥰

We create a space where people feel safe, held and supported 🤗 and we pour love into every part of the weekend. From the delicious, nutritious home cooked food 🥗🍲 to the super powerful Breathwork 🌬️

We immersed in nature 🌿 Gorgeous gardens, hills, forests, rivers, waterfalls, beaches and the sea 🌳⛰️💦🌊

And wow, these were brave souls 💪 They stepped right out of their comfort zones and into the unknown. Into the deep work, into the cold waters 🥶 and into themselves. Showing up like that takes real courage, and it was an honour to witness 🙏

Saturday night’s 90 minute Breathwork was something else 🤯 Rooted in conscious connected breathing, with our own adaptations that take it even deeper. Mind blowingly beautiful 🙏✨

Belly laughs, tears and deep, deep work 😂😭😂 That’s the magic.

A special thank you to lauradaviesyoga for a wonderful yoga session 🧘‍♀️

And to my beautiful daughter Holly Murray and the amazing Sarah Newey . You both smashed it again! We couldn’t do it without you 🌟❤️

Our hearts are full. This is the work 🙏
