When Gill Tree the owner of Essentials for Health became lost in the African jungle for five days on her own in 1989, she became fascinated by how the mind works during survival and pressure situations. Gill devised our stress management course titled “Performing under Pressure” and created an interactive training programme and board game for the corporate world called “It’s a jungle out there!” to challenge the participant and think beyond their normal limitations. We teach how to thrive in the concrete jungle, based on a very real experience of surviving the dangers of the African one. In 2002 we added our Work Life Balance course to the mix.

We’ve been providing our stress management at work courses since 1994. Since then the courses have been regularly refined and updated with new research, methods of teaching and experience. We play to our strengths and only provide courses we feel passionate about.

Our vision
Our vision is to inspire people to transform their lives by being passionate, dynamic, outstanding trainers, guiding our delegates through a fabulous magical journey of discovery and learning.

Our recipe for success
We have learnt from disciplines such as NLP (neuro linguistic programming) and combined this with research on stress and time management. We train using accelerated learning techniques, mix some rich experience of surviving in jungles, with unique, innovative exercises and provide the courses, adhering to our core values of quality, service and excellence.

We provide:
A fresh approach to training in stress management
Results focused interventions and techniques that expand people’s capacity to perform effectively under pressure and manage their work life balance
A platform in which to inspire people to want to change
