A unique approach to mental wellbeing

Elite Sport Experience

Luke was an England U-18 rugby player who became disillusioned with an elite sport environment and his own focus on high performance with little emphasis on mental wellbeing. Two of his former teammates who had become pro athletes took their own lives.

Luke left sport to gain graduate and postgraduate degrees in Law before shifting into managing social care projects supporting people with complex mental health issues to live independently within society.
