Meet Michael Adu.

More than 10 years in wellness. A personal approach to looking after people.

I'm Michael Adu, founder of Disconnect & Chill and Director of London Stress Centre. My work focuses on stress, nervous system regulation and recovery, with support shaped around the person rather than a standard routine.

My background in luxury hospitality and private members' clubs has shaped how I work. Listening carefully, noticing the details and helping someone feel looked after matter as much as the techniques we use.

Why this work matters to me.

I've experienced how unsettling stress and anxiety can feel. There were times when I felt isolated and couldn't understand why my body reacted so strongly to situations other people seemed to take in their stride.

That experience led me to explore stress, recovery and the role of practical techniques and technology in understanding my own patterns. It became the starting point for the work I do today.

I want people to have space to understand what they're experiencing, without judgement or pressure to get everything right. At London Stress Centre, that means personal attention, practical support and an approach that fits the demands of everyday life.

Over more than 10 years in wellness, my work has included coaching, teaching, workplace workshops and community programmes, both online and in person.
