“It’s good to understand our bodies better and how we respond in different situations...”
Nicola, Course Attendee & TrustPilot Review
Practical learning. Space to find your calm.
Explore stress and recovery in a way you can bring into everyday life.
I'm Michael Adu, founder of London Stress Centre and Disconnect & Chill. Over more than 10 years in wellness, my work has centred on helping people understand stress and explore practical ways to support recovery.
Our courses bring that approach into guided learning: understanding your responses, trying techniques and finding what fits your life. Nervous system regulation is the starting point, with breathwork and recovery practices you can return to.
A personal reason for doing this work.
My own experience of stress and anxiety led me to ask why my body reacted so strongly to situations other people seemed comfortable with. I felt isolated, and I wanted to understand what might help.
Exploring practical techniques and technology gave me a way to learn more about my own stress patterns. That experience helped shape London Stress Centre and our learning programmes.
The aim is to offer clear explanations and practical ways to explore recovery, without expecting you to change your whole life at once.
Understand. Practise. Notice.
Learn about stress and recovery, explore guided practices and notice how you respond. The focus is on building familiarity with techniques you can use in your own circumstances, rather than promising the same outcome for everyone.
Where measurement is part of a programme, it can offer another perspective on your experience. We consider those patterns alongside how you feel, not as proof of a particular health outcome.
Hear Tracy's experience.
Tracy Kiss shares her experience of making space for stress management alongside work and family life.
“I would say that it’s very beneficial for women - just like me - school mums, stress-heads, multitaskers etc who have a lot on their plate and need to focus on cutting stress to avoid overeating or losing out on sleep. It’s great to be able to measure progress and find peace. “

I did the Finding Your Calm session with Michael today and just after one session, this is the first time in a very long time that I have felt so calm and relaxed. Definitely, something I will be continuing. Really found the session insightful. Michael was informative, engaging and passionate. I would recommend this to others.

Michael has been first class throughout the process. From an introductory call to make sure this is the right fit for me, to engaging & meaningful monitoring and analysis of bio-feedback.
Beyond stress reduction, I have really clicked with Michael - he is a genuine guy, who cares about what he does & who he works with.
I highly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking to optimise their life!

Michael lead me through his Stress Reliance course with weekly sessions online. My health metrics (like HRV, quality of sleep, etc) started to rise immediately and continued throughout the course. I felt better, more relaxed, more able to respond to my own needs and able to self-regulate.
Michael delivers an expert course distilling a huge amount of research into simple techniques to radically improve well-being. I recommend it to everyone!
