The Full Story
About
Life has accelerated with technology at a pace that is only equal to time travel or warp speed. It has been thrust upon us and adopted without much pause, to the harms. I have worked with children, families and schools for over 20 years, and I have borne witness to the whole-scale change in how our children are within themselves.
Technology is not going anywhere, and to keep up, is to take full control of how you want your life to be, alongside technology. That is why I have developed digital reset coaching programmes for individuals and for families. There is no escaping to an island, we have to live here and now, and live fully present despite the forces on us to be constantly checked out.
We can't do this on our own, and there isn't just one way, a multifaceted approach is needed and this initiative is one part of the whole. As I say in my workshops, "it is up to us, there is no body coming to save us or our kids, we are the adults in the room, it is time to step up". Let's do it together and create a positive momentum of the normal we want, not what we have sleptwalked into.
I chose the spring equinox because spring is all about clearing out what no longer serves us. Just like a spring clean, the idea here is to break out of autopilot and clear away the apps and habits with our tech that don’t support us. This is both personal and collective action — there’s no one-size-fits-all, but each of us can take steps to reset and realign.
Enjoy breaking free!

Mission
I simply wanted to help everyone feel part of a new norm, that we can collectively change and we can have fun doing it.
Vision
For our children to be free from the imposition of social media and gaming. For childhood to be full of the purpose of connection, play, exploration in the real world with fully engaged and present parents, family, neighbours, and community.
Workshops
Interactive, engaging workshops based on the latest evidence for change.
For work places, they are perfect for a learning lunch hour with a focus on getting real on usage and simple hacks to be back in charge of your relationship with tech so it works for you.
For parents: Reclaiming your family with a Digital Reset. We explore the impact on children's mental & physical health and wellbeing. Then look at the practical steps we can take to have a positive relationship with tech.
