ABOUT OUR DIRECTOR

Untitled Design 2.PNG

My name is Michael Adu and I am a Stress Reduction Specialist, Life Coach & Founder of Disconnect & Chill and Director of London Stress Centre. Here, we help you map your current biological stress patterns to give us a framework on which to improve. After delivering our coaching, we found that people reversed cellular ageing, improved their immunity and achieved better balance in the autonomic nervous system- the system controlling stress and relaxation.

I’ve felt and seen first hand the effects of not building that foundation of internal health properly.

My Story

Stress & Anxiety was getting to me BAD!

I thought I was a weirdo. I was always questioning what was wrong with me. Nobody understood. I was lonely. I didn’t know why my body was reacting to what others considered normal situations?

I had no confidence, no self-esteem or self-worth. My future looked wasn’t look good at all from where I was standing. I was broken and needed fixing.

Using technology and my tenacity to get better, I developed a unique answer to my own stress and anxiety problems.

I now want to help others with my symptoms: stress, anxiety or those who are overloaded with pressure or strain.
