own the lost hours
Our evenings are often a blur of mindless scrolling when they should be an opportunity to remove ourselves from the stresses of the day, recalibrate, and connect with the people who are most important to us. Own Time initiates a neurojourney that supports the body’s natural circadian rythymn, for calmer, more meaningful evening hours, better quality sleep and improved healthspan.
support your neuro-journey
Own the lost hours from 6pm-midnight. Inhale, clock-off, disconnect from daytime stimulations and find your inner calm. Prioritise what your body needs and re-discover what should come naturally.
From doing to being, consciously downshift your nervous system from active to relaxed.
feed
Allow the body to do what it's biologically designed for - taste, smell and chew food mindfully to ground the body and activate the rest and digest system.
Make eating restorative, maximise nutrient absorption and support gut health by prioritising calm over chaos.
connect
Open space for intimacy, softness, and emotional closeness free from distractions.
sleep
Settle the final layers of tension, help the body to drift without resistance into a restful night's sleep.
