Deep Relief

Recovering – not just managing stress

If you've been longing to feel like yourself again.

Clear-headed.
Well rested.
And deeply okay.

This is my invitation to you.


Together, we'll create your stress recovery system.

Reliable relief that keeps working
even when everything feels like too much.

Welcome to
Deep Relief.

Your six-month, one-to-one stress recovery programme.

I currently have room for 2 people starting each month.

If we're just meeting,
my free Starter Kit is a good place to start.

Does any of this feel familiar?

  • You’ve coped with a lot of stress for a long time.

  • You’re thoughtful and capable – often the one others rely on.

  • You've pushed through, tried your best with self-care, and held it together.

But now, the usual stress tips just aren’t helping anymore.

A woman sitting at a desk with her hands on her head, looking stressed while working on a laptop in a modern office.

Maybe you're getting through the days on coffee, chocolate and willpower.

Reading the same email three times and still not taking it in. Shouting at your teenager over burnt toast.

Or collapsing on the sofa at 7pm – too wired to sleep, too drained to do anything but stare at the screen.

And you know you can't keep going like this.

Or maybe you've cut back hard on things you used to love.

The book club, volunteering, seeing people.  And yet, you can still barely follow dinner conversation.

And you lie awake at 3am with your mind racing in the dark.

Wondering what's wrong with you, why you can’t cope just like “everybody else.”

You’ve tried the apps, the books, the courses. Sometimes, it works. For a while.

Then your mum needs help. Your son's struggling at school.

And your boss adds another thing to your plate.

And somehow sitting down to meditate just doesn’t happen anymore.

But deep down, you know: there must be a better way.

What you really want is simple:

Feel well again
and know that it will last

That’s what we build in Deep Relief

Why a system?

Hi, I’m Angela.

A few years back, I was where you might be right now – desperately trying to find a way to reset my stress responses.

I’d asked for help, followed the standard advice, and worked my way through books and courses.

I even took a sabbatical to give my body time to rest and heal, making sure I did ‘everything right.’

For a few weeks I felt human again – until the boiler broke and one tense phone call yanked me straight back to brain fog and exhaustion.

So I kept searching for the thing that would reset me ‘back to normal’. Kept digging into the science and the research, determined to understand everything I could about long-term stress.

Then it finally clicked.

The human body has no reset button.

It needs tending, like a garden – not fixing, like a machine.

And just like a garden, it needs different things at different times.

But relief doesn’t come from doing more or trying harder.

It came from making recovering easy.

Bringing together the tools and rhythm I can rely on – even on hard days.

A simple system you can lean into

When I shaped things around one brilliant core practice and made it easy to reach for what actually helps – everything shifted:

  • I wake up before the alarm and actually want to get up

  • Problems often resolve themselves when I lie down for a practice instead of circling for ages

  • Conversations flow again without my mind losing the thread

  • And at home there’s more ease, laughter, and energy – for board games, badminton, and seeing people

That’s what we do together in Deep Relief:

Creating your very own recovery system – shaped around you, your life, and what you actually need – so you can feel like yourself again. Clear-headed. Well-rested. And deeply okay.

How we approach this together

Everything we do together is guided by two questions we keep coming back to.

  • What would help you most right now? Because that changes as you move through Deep Relief.

  • How can this be easy and effective in your real life? Because it's not just knowing what helps – it needs to be doable, especially when everything feels like too much.

That means you'd start feeling better early on. And as you practise, little and often, things continue to get better over our six months together.

How we build your system

Creating your system without adding pressure isn't something we can rush. That's why we give ourselves six months for Deep Relief.

  • We meet twice a month on Zoom and talk through what's going on for you. What's working, what needs adjusting and what's most helpful to focus on next.

  • And we stay in touch by email in between. For support, questions, and celebrating your progress along the way.

  • For our core practice iRest, we have a clear pathway of pre-recorded teachings and guided practices that you move through at your own pace.

  • And we decide together what else we bring into your toolkit and how, based on what makes most sense for you.

How we make it last

We figure things out together and keep going at a pace that feels right for you, especially whenever life gets wobbly.

  • We build your system around you, your life, and what you actually need.

  • And we literally get to stress-test things together. That’s how you get to practice adjusting your rhythm and your tools.

So whatever comes – even after our six months together – you know you've got this.

Is Deep Relief a good fit for you?

Deep Relief is designed for people who want to recover from long-term stress. People whose stress symptoms keep coming back, no matter what they’ve tried.

You'll know it's right for you if...

  • You're open to an approach that supports your body, your mind and your emotions

  • You’d like 1-to-1 guidance & support

  • You’re willing to try things out, be curious about what you notice, and practice little and often

It’s not a good fit if...

  • You're looking for therapy, coaching or counselling.

  • You’re looking for stress management or productivity hacks.

  • You’re looking for a quick fix.

Not sure if this is right for you, or if you need something else?

You're very welcome to email me and we can figure it out together.

The money side of things

We’ll work together for 6 months to create your stress recovery system.

First month £900 → then £500 per month

My no-awkwardness guarantee

If at any point before the end of our 6 months together you feel you’ve got everything you needed – or it’s simply time to move on – just let me know.

No awkwardness. No further payments required.

I currently have room for 2 people starting Deep Relief each month.

If you’d like to explore working together, simply send me an email.

  • We’ll exchange a few emails first, and if it feels right we’ll set up a conversation on Zoom.

  • We’ll grab a cup of tea and figure out if it’s a good fit – for you and for me.

  • This isn’t about convincing you. It’s about clarity, so you can decide what’s right for you.

You can email me at: angela@realyou.works

Something as simple as: “I'm interested in Deep Relief.” is more than enough. I’ll reply and we can take it from there.

You can feel deeply okay,
just as you are.
