  • Longevity & Lifestyle

Unlock your full potential with this unique Emotional Wellness Program, designed to help you balance the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).

Autonomic Nervous System.

The mind and body constantly adjusts and adapts to external experiences, circumstances and environments through the ANS.

Comprising three essential branches:

  1. Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight or Flight): When faced with stress or challenges, your body enters survival mode, preparing you to face perceived threats.

  2. Parasympathetic Nervous System (Rest and Digest): This system restores balance, allowing your body to relax, optimize organ function, and enhance decision-making, performance, and adaptability. It fosters harmony between your inner self and the world around you.

  3. Enteric Nervous System (Gut-Brain Connection): Often called the "second brain," this system plays a crucial role in your overall well-being, affecting everything from mood to immune function.

Mastering the balance of these systems, not only improves your health and emotional well-being. But also boosts your productivity, decision-making, and connections with others.

Lifestyle, wellness & the Autonomic Nervous System

Integrating the workings of the brain and Autonomic Nervous System into one framework.


This unique programme focusses on re-wiring thought pathways, restructuring habits and, realigning to external experience.

What this is not

  • It is not therapy.

  • It is not a clinical consultation.

  • It is an integrated-coaching programme that focuses on a way-of-life that encompasses physical, emotional health with thoughts, habits, behaviours and the external world.

  • Why do we need to move out of fight-or-flight into rest&digest?

  • “Fight-or-flight” is a state of survival reminiscent to a gazelle running away from the lion.

  • When the body is in “rest and digest” i.e., A gazelle under the blue sky. All systems work well with a healthy balance between the states of “fight-or-flight and rest & digest”.

“I have gone from not being able to walk more than 100 yards to actually jogging!!! I never dreamed this would be possible.”

Dr Rebecca Belfitt

“Dr Deschu has been an inspiration in guiding me back to a way of living that is compatible with healing. A shift from  being in fear and sympathetic overdrive to acceptance, being in the present, being grateful and focusing on being in a parasympathetic state which has incredible beneficial effects for healing. She is a master at identifying the triggers that need addressing and skilfully guiding to bring about positive change””.

““I am so very grateful for Deschu’s Mind Body Programme.  It truly is just what I needed to take more purposeful steps for my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing.  The combination of strategies for managing thoughts, behaviours and for moving the body from sympathetic to parasympathetic mode, so important for healing and for a healthy life, are incredibly supportive and effective.  It is also helpful to work with these from a medical context of information about the physical body and mind that Deschu provides.  She was also very skilled at fine tuning her suggestions and strategies according to my individual needs.  The possibility of these adaptations makes this programme unique for each person who accesses it so that it can work at a deep level appropriate for them.  I am very much enjoying applying the tools that I have gained from this programme and can already feel the positive effects of them as I incorporate them into a new way of living.  I highly recommend this programme.  It provides the opportunity to pull threads of mind and body together.  ““
