Regulate To Lead

Nervous-system-centred leadership for high-pressure roles
This workshop introduces leaders to their stress responses and helps them build a personalised regulation toolkit to lead with clarity, presence, and calm — even under pressure.

Room To Breathe

Everyday resilience for emotionally demanding work
A gentle, restorative session focused on recognising early signs of burnout, learning micro-recovery practices, and building rhythms of rest and regulation into the day.

Who it’s for

Our work is ideal for organisations that want to support:

  • Staff in high-stress, high-emotion environments

  • Managers navigating complex conversations or emotional labour

  • Leaders looking to sustain their impact without sacrificing wellbeing

We work across sectors, including non-profits, care-based services, social justice spaces, and progressive workplaces that value emotional intelligence and deep support.

How We Work

Our work is rooted in somatic coaching, nervous system regulation, and generative thinking practices.

Each session offers space to pause, reconnect, and build tools for emotional steadiness and self-awareness — individually and collectively.

We blend science and softness to create workshops that are:

  1. Trauma-informed

  2. Embodied and experiential

  3. Inclusive, practical, and jargon-free

  4. Designed for people who care deeply and do difficult work

The foundations of Space to Be

This work is guided by a small set of principles that prioritise steadiness, spaciousness, and self-trust.

  • We believe in the importance of slowing down.
    In a world that constantly asks us to push, produce, and perform, we offer space to pause. Stillness allows the nervous system to settle. Quiet gives us a chance to hear what we often miss: our breath, our feelings, our own voice. We don’t rush to fill silence. We trust it.

  • We don’t force insight or pressure outcomes.
    Our approach is rooted in the idea that when there’s enough space, what needs to emerge will. Clarity doesn’t always arrive on demand. We give people time and room to notice, to reflect, and to let new awareness unfold naturally.

  • We don’t ask people to leave parts of themselves at the door.
    There’s no performance required here. We believe that growth happens when people feel safe to be fully themselves — with all the edges, emotions, and contradictions that come with being human. You don’t need to become someone else. You just need space to be more of who you already are.

  • We don’t tell people what to do.
    We help them learn how to listen to themselves again. We work with the body because the body often knows what the mind tries to override. This work supports people to build trust in their own signals, their own insight, and their own timing — not someone else’s version of what’s right.

Delivery & Collaboration

Our sessions are delivered by experienced somatic practitioners and facilitators trained in body-oriented coaching, hypnotherapy, and reflective practice.

We tailor each experience to the needs of your organisation, with options to:

  • Run single workshops or create a series

  • Offer one-to-one follow-up sessions

  • Include thinking partnerships or reflective spaces

We’re also open to longer-term partnerships, retreats, or co-designing bespoke wellbeing programmes.
