Ivan and Rebekah Honey
Founders of the Get Happier Project
Chris delivered Skype sessions to Ivan and Bek.
We worked slowly and made small changes to their office set-up each session and they completed short sensory motor explorations.
Ivan and Bek were suprised by the big impact of small changes.
Ivan and Bek do plenty of travel delivering the Get Happier Project. Chris provided them with tips and tricks to maintain functional and pleasurable posture as they travel.
Ivan and Bek are representative of workers who have mobile workplaces. Change needed to be portable and functional in a variety of contexts.

Solutions can be simple.
Felicity Cole
Flicka Photography
Boutique Stock photography
Felicity took the photographs that appear on this website. She is as passionate about photographic images as Chris is about posture.
Felicity was curious enough to particpate in sessions with Chris even though she didn't really feel like she had any posture problems.
Felicity was immediately able to use the information she learnt. She has found the time she spends driving to be easier and we solved an issue that was causing her pain as she walked up and down stairs.
