1 space left.

Core starts Monday.

Core is our 90-day Human Upgrade coaching and mentoring programme, working 2-to-1 with both of us.

This is the last Core place available before December.

90 days to build stronger capacity and greater control in the areas that matter most: your energy, health, calm, mood, headspace and systems.

More energy available for the people, projects and decisions that count.

Core is for capable people who want to protect their energy, increase their capacity, and operate at a higher level.

This is private, focused support for how you live, work, recover and perform.
Your health, calm, mood, headspace and systems, recalibrated.

Two of us.

One place left.

We start on Monday.

The next opportunity is December.

Message me today if this is yours.

May we present our receipts...

There comes a point when being the person who can handle everything becomes a problem.

(I know you're fine, but stay with me)

You are great at what you do, keep everyone going, and consistently get insane results in different areas of life.

But it starts working against you.

You keep the plates spinning, and tell yourself you will focus on your energy, health habits and headspace when things calm down.

Sometimes you delay decisions, put up with things, or ignore things you know need attention.

It could be as simple as not allowing yourself any downtime, in case everything comes crashing down.

If any of that sounds like you, you are who we designed Core for: people who are functioning, delivering, and getting on with big things.

The point is: we optimise you, while you optimise everything else.

And if you are going to trust us with that, you should know what we're bringing to the party.

An explanatory, not-very-humble brag.

I bring the body, brain, pain, performance and recovery expertise:

A PhD in applied neurology, three master’s degrees in how the human body works, specialist qualifications in neurological rehab and functional movement, and I have worked with elite level athletes.

I have also played hockey, run at a high level, become the UK’s Strongest Woman, and developed my own incredible pain management protocol.

The point of all that - is when Amy coaches, it comes from study, clinical practice, rehabilitation, sport, strength, pain, performance, professional experience and lived experience.

Tanya's expertise is behaviour change.

She is a top clinical hypnotherapist specialising in performance and stress management, author of Mindset Mechanics, and creator of the Human Upgrade life systems framework.

Tanya also qualified in fitness, nutrition and weight management, and has spent over 30 years teaching, coaching, performing, speaking, and facilitating across workshops, conferences, retreats, courses, and our Human Upgrade membership, which is now in its 7th year.

Conservatively, she has worked with around 350,000 people over the years.

We work with groups of people face-to-face and one-to-one every week -

We work with groups of people face-to-face and one-to-one every week - so is still having the conversations: what people are dealing with, what they want, what gets in the way, and what helps them make changes that last.

That volume of contact with people gives you a good 'eye'.

You start spotting patterns quickly: what people overcomplicate, what they need most, where their energy leaks, what gets in the way of progress, and what helps them streamline their lives and enjoy them more.

That is what we bring into Core.

Two different skill sets, one tested-in-the-trenches methodology, applied directly to your life.

We look at your health, habits, energy, headspace, pressure points and life systems.

We help you work out what needs changing first, what can wait, and what will give you the biggest shift without adding to your load,

(which would rather defeat the object).

There are 2 spots left.

Starts 22 June.

If you have been hovering, this is the one to act on.

"Core is £999? That’s a serious chunk.”

I absolutely agree.

Even more so, when the voice in your head is saying:

“I should be able to sort this myself.”
“I just need a clear week.”
“I’ll get back on track after this busy patch.”
or, “I could spend that money on a break.”

And for some people, a break is exactly the right choice.

Also, (while I'm talking you out of it) there are plenty of lower-priced ways to work with us.

For example, Human Upgrade membership is ridiculous value. It will fundamentally change how you live for less than a pound a day.

We also have great-value courses, workshops, masterclasses and digital resources.

But Core is one of our intensive, VIP options.

And, hands up, aside from everything we achieve together, the price is part of the point.

When you have skin in the game for something, that thing moves up the list.
(I mean, how many free webinars have you signed up for and forgotten about?)

Investing makes you take something more seriously.

If you've felt it, you'll protect the time it needs.

You'll stop treating your energy as something you’ll address later, when everything else has calmed down.

A break can be lovely.

But when you come home to the same pressures and patterns, it is very easy to slip back to where you were before your tan has even faded.

Core is about your next 90 days.

Reducing pressure, getting healthier and gaining headspace.

Eliminating the things getting in your way.

We do it twice a year - this is our 4th year.

We've got this down.

2 spots left.

Would you like one?

You start 22 June.

If nailing the basics were easy, everyone would have nailed them.
If they did, a lot of other things would fall into place.

But when you are busy, tired, overcommitted, screen-fried, living on caffeine and trying to keep everyone else happy, the basics are often the first things to slip.
Sometimes it needs an intervention.

And people on your side.

Human Upgrade: Core is our 90-day 2:1 intervention to help you protect your energy, reduce your burnout risk, and futureproof great habits.

If you had a magic wand, what would you change about the way you do things over the next 90 days?

Let’s do that.

We begin 22/06/25.

Get in touch.

Idiotic eureka
Described it as a facepalm moment.
A sudden A-HA about something almost stupidly obvious.

Like, only Smarties have the answer. (Well, they would.)
Or will.i.am’s name is William.

That kind of thing.

The Human Upgrade version came from noticing that what we know instinctively about looking after babies, but regularly forget still applies to us.

Say, a baby is crying.

You wouldn’t ask:

Is it some kind of infant mental health crisis?
Could it be a ruptured appendix?
Does the baby just hate you?
Are they possessed? Do we need a priest?

Because that would be silly.

You run through the obvious first.
Hungry, thirsty, lonely, bored, tired, uncomfortable, overstimulated, in need of fresh air, or in need of quiet time.

Obviously.

But we can, as super sophisticated humans with ISAs, degrees and MOTed cars, forget the basics.

That tension headache at 4 in the afternoon, when you haven't drunk anything since this morning’s coffee, might not be a brain tumour.
Worth checking it isn’t dehydration.

The feelings of impending doom after 14 hours in a windowless room finishing the proposal, staying up too late and sleeping badly, might not be a message from the universe to sell up and join an ashram.

Worth checking how you feel after a bit of a nap.

That knot in your stomach when you pass two old people holding hands might not be proof that you are unloveable and will die alone.

Your blood sugar may have tanked after a big pasta lunch.

I am not saying everything is solved by touching grass and having a glass of water.

Although, you know...

But before we get fancy, the Idiotic Eureka Checklist checks for the basics:

* Have I eaten?
* Have I had water?
* Have I slept?
* Have I moved?
* Have I been outside?
* Have I had too much noise, screen, news or nonsense?
* Have I been around people who drain me?
* Am I overstimulated?
* Do I need quiet time?
* Have I had any fun recently?

It sounds too simple, and it is.
Which is the point.
Human Upgrade is a framework for winning at life.

Simplifying, not complicating things.

Specifically, making this week better than last week, and next week better again.

The Idiotic Eureka Checklist was a cute little footnote once, that proves useful years later.

Not a bad place to start.

Quick selly bit:
Human Upgrade: Core is our 2:1, 90-day mentoring and coaching programme for people who want to avoid burnout, maximise their energy, and build great habits that last.

HU Core begins on 22/06/25, I'd love to have you.

P.S. Coaching? Mentoring? What’s the difference?

Coaching = asking the right questions, helping you think clearly and get somewhere you couldn't get on your own, keeping you accountable.

Mentoring = bringing experience, expertise and pattern-spotting to give you clear guidance.

Core is both.

Sometimes you need to find your own answer, but it saves time when the experts show you where to look ;)

Do you dread the: "Did you have a nice weekend?, Monday morning question?

Yeah, nice, just a chilled one.
You?
Yep same.

And that's fine, of course, nothing wrong with that.
Legitimate choice.

But if it's a case of having nothing left in the tank at the end of your week to do anything other than flop in front of the telly.

Then this one's for you.

I just want to say we've heard this before; doctors, teachers, people with very high-pressured jobs - have said the same thing.

"I'm actually quite happy to kick back with a glass of wine, a takeaway and relax at the weekend." It's pretty compelling, on the face of it, this is a tough one to argue with.

But I invite you to imagine, what you would do with much more energy.

When we help people get their energy back, they rarely become more virtuous and efficient.

They become more like themselves.

They make plans, say yes to things - they remember what they like.

They stop treating enjoyment like something that has to be earned once everything useful has been completed.

Fun is not an indulgence.
It's something we are deadly serious about.

It is often one of the first signs that you have some capacity back.

What would you do this weekend if you had tons of energy - and you weren’t recovering from your week?
