one focused hour. lasting results.

Most people don't realise how stressed they are. When everyone around them is operating in the same state, it starts to feel normal.

Most wellbeing programs focus on awareness. What they don't teach is how to regulate stress when it shows up.

This is a practical, science backed workshop where people feel the shift in real time and leave with tools they'll use every day.

  • Less reactive under pressure

  • More focused, engaged and productive

  • Reduced absenteeism and turnover risk

  • The big reason I got Emma into our team was to understand where you are currently — where your nervous system is right now. And then the big part — what tools do we need when life happens and things don't go to plan. How do we get back down to baseline and still perform at our best. I've never met anyone who can take lessons, adapt them to a work environment, and combine high performance with a holistic outlook the way Emma does. That's what Less Stress Co is really good at. I come into work now feeling like everyone's got tools to be the best version of themselves. Everyone's nervous system is in a better place. And I believe you can always perform a lot better coming from a calmer place. I can't thank Emma and the team enough.

  • I’ve sat through plenty of wellbeing sessions over the years, and Emma’s was genuinely one of the best. She has this incredible ability to make something that seems so simple feel incredibly powerful. Within minutes she had the whole team engaged, slowing down, switching off the noise and reconnecting with themselves. There was nothing awkward or “fluffy” about it, just practical techniques, backed by science, that you can use immediately in both work and life. The impact was obvious. People walked away calmer, clearer, more present and with tools they’ll continue to use long after the session. In a world where we’re all moving at a hundred miles an hour, Emma reminds you just how powerful it is to stop, breathe and reset. If you’re looking to do something meaningful for your team, not just another tick-the-box wellbeing activity speak to Emma. She’s authentic, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely exceptional at what she does. I couldn’t recommend the Less Stress Co. more highly.

  • Mars Food recently had a great opportunity to have Emma and her amazing team assist us with a session whilst we were conferencing on the Gold Coast. Right from the first connection (phone call) Emma was nothing short of amazing the whole time. She worked with us at every change to the program and assisted in meeting our every need. The location changed, she didn’t bat an eye lid, but found us great options to hold the session outdoors. The weather became unfavourable, and Emma and her team changed their plans and met us onsite instead of outdoors. The session far outweighed my expectations. It was possible for all our team (of 85) to be able to join, regardless of understanding or ability. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the feedback I received from everyone on the day and afterward was simply sensational. So invigorating, yet restful, most importantly mindful and soulful. I cannot recommend Emma and her team highly enough. They were nothing but professional, educational, and easy to deal with.
