Upgrade Your Day...The Podcast!

You can listen here or wherever you get your podcasts including YouTube
​or even ask Alexa.

Are you intrigued by mindfulness & meditation but never done anything about it?
Do you feel it's not for you or that it's unrelatable?
Do you feel your life is too busy to start something new like this right now?


Would you like to:

• live with more gratitude?
  
• learn tips & tricks to live a more mindful life?
  
• live a happier life?
  
• easily step out of negative headspace?
  
• have a more positive mindset?
  
• live more in the moment?
  
• live with less stress and anxiety?
  

There is a certain image with what I'm trained to teach, and this can seem inaccessible and unachievable to some, but that's why I'm here!

I am passionate about what I have to offer and want to make mindfulness work for EVERYONE!  My mission is to create a more mindful and happier you.


Don't worry, I won't be deep-diving into meditation, it all starts with a daily 3 Minute Upgrade® and we can grow together from there.


With Upgrade Your Day learn to implement manageable 3 Minute moments into your everyday, real life!

By adding small moments, little by little, day by day you can become more mindful, happy, compassionate, grateful and generally improve overall wellbeing.


I love teaching the skills to living a happier and more fulfilling life and how best to introduce techniques into your life that lead to greater happiness and joy.


To help you respond rather than react in situations brought on by stress, emotions or triggers. To turn off auto pilot and be more present day to day. 


These sessions will teach you the practical techniques and skills you need to be kinder to yourself and gradually rewire your brain.

All inspired by world-leading experts in teaching wellbeing, mindfulness, neuroscience and positive psychology.  


In turn I will help you develop your own unique happiness learning exercises for everyday life. 


Less worry about the past and anxious feelings about the future will bring more happiness to your life right now.


It all starts with finding 3 Minutes a day!

My Woodland Meditation sessions run in the Windsor Great Park, Berkshire with kind permission of the Crown Estate.

After a silent, gentle ramble I will connect you to the surrounding environment using all your senses. You will learn to embrace the full benefits of breath and meditation under the trees and within the woodland.

Will we hug a tree? YES! But with Upgrade Your Day I pride myself on approaching everything with fun, good humour and joy.  

Even if you have never done anything like this before, trust me, you will LOVE IT! Take a look at the testimonials all from first experiences of meditating under the trees.

Upgrade Your Day with Music!

This is a list full of songs that my followers and friends on socials have suggested, as they put a smile on their face and give their day a lift! An upgrade!

Listening to uplifting music releases dopamine in our brains which can help towards mental wellbeing.

Have a listen and add your own favourite mood boosting song to the list.

​I've also added a few of my favourites from Jessie Ware to P!nk and a few 90's bangers hahaha!  

Enjoy! 

For every workshop I host I plant a new tree in the UK with the National Trust & plant a new tree sapling into the world for every participant with
One Tree Planted on your behalf.

A little about me..

I usually glide across the pantomime stage at the Theatre Royal Windsor as my alter-ego Kevin Cruise & ​as Basil Brush's side-kick in the Basil Brush Show.

I've been in the entertainment business for over 22 years & have performed at hundreds of holiday parks, theatres, festivals & pubs over the years.

I started practicing mindfulness in 2019 when I felt I needed help with my own mindset, anxiety, nerves & OCD. It changed my life! Because of this I trained and became a certified mindfulness teacher, happiness facilitator & nature guide.

I created 'Upgrade Your Day' to encourage others to improve wellbeing reduce stress & embrace the great outdoors. I am lucky enough to do this from my base in and around my local area in Windsor, Berkshire.

As well as my local rambles and photography I run Woodland Bathing sessions within Windsor Great Park with permission of the Crown Estate. I have also introduced my new workshop '3 MINUTE UPGRADE' helping to implement manageable 3 Minute Upgrades & meditation into everyday life!

I’m living proof that by adding small moments, little by little anyone can become more mindful, happy, compassionate, grateful, productive & improve overall wellbeing.

It all starts with finding 3 Minutes a day!
