Bas and Maressa’s commitment to innovation in learning and professional development led to their collaboration after they met at a conference in Brisbane.


Together, they identified a shared frustration with traditional training models that often deliver information without creating lasting change.

Their co-created trainings are well-suited to the corporate world, as well as small and large businesses, organisations, and individuals.

Through learning by doing, reflection, and having fun, participants build practical and transferable skills such as self-awareness, communication, collaboration, adaptability, creative problem-solving, and leadership presence. These programs support wellbeing while strengthening team cohesion.

If you're seeking a training experience that goes beyond the ordinary, delivered by passionate and qualified trainers and therapists, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable learning experience that will empower your people to connect, grow, and thrive.
