New & Interesting Ways To Look After Your Mental Health

In an age of constant stimulation, Kelly Rose Marks wants us to slow down – from the inside out. A yoga and fitness instructor turned nervous system specialist, her world shifted after surviving a plane crash that left her with a broken rib and deep emotional trauma. The experience led to the creation of Mind Sculpt – a 50-minute session designed to calm the nervous system and clear emotional tension. Each session combines grounding breathwork, gentle movement and guided visualisation to help release stress, shift thought patterns and reconnect to a sense of calm. You’ll start with breath and sensory cues, move through somatic release, then enter a focused ‘mind sculpt’ – a visualisation that helps restore balance. Group and one-to-one sessions are available, alongside her Self Love Coaching Club, which blends mindset tools, movement and nutrition to support long-term emotional resilience.
