Illness and Image in Holistic Discourse: How Alternative Is "Alternative"?Scott L. MontgomeryAs part of the ‘Step IntoTranquility Group,’ we aim to welcome more individuals into our community, providing guidance and support for your wellbeing goals (launching in August)Home maintenance, rising costs, physical appearance, chronic illness, heavy workloads, traumatic events, fast food, and emotional issues like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem – the modern world often feels like it’s constantly attacking us. Social media, advertisements, and negative news headlines all contribute to the primary cause of being unwell: STRESS.“Nothing external to you has any power over you.” — Ralph Waldo EmersonHow do you disconnect from the demands of everyday life to listen to yourself? Where do you find the inspiration to embark on a new path and stay the course when those around you might not agree? If you are already ill, are medications and pills the right solution for you?Our Wellbeing Zone helps cut through the noise, offering non-judgmental advice and inspiration for finding a personalised approach to improving your mental and physical health.Our Founders' Story:Sitting at the computer, the phone rang with an expected update from a hospital visit. “Unfortunately, it’s not as positive as we hoped; they’ve given me three months to live.” The impact was devastating, with initial thoughts ranging from “What about our 7-year-old?” to “Why us?” and “What next?”That was our history, and though the emotions are still raw, Julie, our strongest advocate, decided to pursue a holistic route without medical intervention. Eighteen months on, she had self-cured. Seven years later, we welcome you to benefit from all the advice, studies, professional networks, and inspiration that have helped us significantly.Join us and take the first step towards a healthier, more balanced life.

Involved in some seriously interesting businesses and projects, taking me on a rollercoaster adventure around the world, from Kilkenny to Kuwait and Toledo to Texas

As a 'montage leiter’ (project manager) for the Lindner Group, I discovered an interest for construction. Stepping sideways into a hands on builder, and company owner, I worked on many residential and commercial properties, primarily throughout Germany

Taking my natural love of sport and passion for squash, I coached all ages to champion standard, whilst personally playing competitively around the world; beating the then number 28

Some fun, very active, and (often) dark times, being moved around the world to do crazy things in the interests of a better quality of life for people
