The Method

The GROUND Method.

Six things Jac checks with every woman who arrives wired, tired, and calling it fine. Ground, Rest, Orbit, Unwind, Nourish, Design. She's been working this way for years. She's only just given it a name.

None of these words will be new to you. You already know you should sleep better, eat better, get outside more. What you haven't had is the order, and someone reading your actual week instead of handing you another list.

The method sits behind everything on this site: the treatment room, the £47 course, and the private twelve weeks.

The six pillars

GROUND, in plain English.

All six are TCM-informed and none of them are complicated. Jac's training is what tells her which one to start with.

G · Ground

Actual contact between your body and the ground, and the movement that comes with it. Bare feet on real ground is an input the body reads straight away. Ten thousand steps on office carpet is not the same thing as ten minutes outside.

R · Rest

How you wind down, not how long you're in bed. The body needs a runway before sleep, not a light switch. Jac asks about the ninety minutes before your head hits the pillow, because that's usually where it breaks.

O · Orbit

The season you're actually in. TCM traditionally teaches that autumn, the Lung season, asks something different of the body than June does. You adjust pace, light and rest by the season rather than by guilt.

U · Unwind

Breath is the fastest lever you have. One pattern for steadying yourself before something hard, a different one for coming down afterwards. Used standing outside a meeting room, not in a forty-minute practice.

N · Nourish

Eating with the shape of your actual day. Not a diet. TCM traditionally teaches heavier through the middle and lighter as it turns to evening, and the 3pm crash is information rather than failure.

D · Design

The desk you already sit at and the room you stop in. Your environment is a constant input to your nervous system, not neutral background. One change per zone, and you buy nothing.

That's what the name is for. Six ordinary things, done in an order that tells the body it's safe to stand down.

Jac holds a BSc (Hons) in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She's an Oxygen Advantage certified breathing coach and an ADAPT certified nervous system coach. None of this is medical treatment, and none of it replaces your GP.

The course · £47

The Nervous-System Reset.

The whole method, taught once, self-paced. Six short videos, one pillar each. No login schedule and no live calls. A little over an hour in total, cut into sittings short enough for a lunch break.

Every module ends with something built rather than something read. A checklist, a map, a card you keep. You finish with six of them.

Where it's up to: Jac is recording it now, at home, herself. The price is £47. There's no date yet and no waiting list anywhere else, so the list is the only way to hear when doors open. The first group stays small, because she wants to answer people properly the first time she runs it.

Module 1 · about 10 minutes

G: Ground

Contact between your body and the ground, fitted into a week with no spare hour in it. The two-minute version for a day with nothing going spare. Walking as a reset rather than a workout: pace, no headphones, a specific number of minutes.

You leave with: the Ground Habit Stack. Three doorway habits you choose and write down, each tied to something you already do every day.

Module 2 · about 12 minutes

R: Rest

A wind-down you'll run on an ordinary Tuesday, not the sleep-hygiene list you already ignore. The ninety-minute window before bed, what screens and food and light do to it, and how to find your own sabotage point: the exact moment the evening falls apart. Plus what to do when you're lying there wide awake.

You leave with: her Landing Sequence. A one-page wind-down of three to five steps, same order, most nights.

Module 3 · about 13 minutes

O: Orbit

TCM's organ-clock thinking, translated for a desk and an all-season diary. Why autumn, the Lung season, tends to bring a dip, and what to change instead of pushing through it. Then reading your own year: the months you're always strongest, the ones that always take you down.

You leave with: her Seasonal Rhythm Map. A one-page personal calendar marking your strong months and your low ones, with one specific adjustment against each.

Module 4 · about 9 minutes

U: Unwind

Breathwork you'll use standing outside a meeting room, not a forty-minute practice that never makes it into your week. One pattern for steadying yourself before something hard. A different one for coming down afterwards, which is the half most people skip.

You leave with: the 3-Breath Toolkit. A pocket card carrying your three chosen techniques, each mapped to a real trigger point already in your day.

Module 5 · about 11 minutes

N: Nourish

Eating with the shape of your day. Not a diet, not a clean-eating list. The first question Jac asks a new patient is how long after waking before the first proper meal, and what that gap is quietly doing to the rest of the day. Then the caffeine timing trap, and reading the 3pm crash as information rather than proof you have no willpower.

You leave with: the Intake Map. A one-page plot of your own eating rhythm across a working day. No calories, no forbidden foods.

Module 6 · about 11 minutes

D: Design

Your desk and your evening room, treated as inputs. Light, sightline, and what's actually in view when you look up from the screen. Then the real boundary problem with working from home: where work physically ends, not what time it ends on paper. One change per zone: the desk, the space between work and evening, and the evening room. You buy nothing.

You leave with: the Living Space Audit. A room-by-room checklist you walk once, update by season, and open again whenever the setup stops working.

Six checklists. Six habits. One picture of how your ground, rest, season, breath, food and space fit together, built by you, for the life you're actually living.

The GROUND Method: Private 12-Week Programme.

Twelve weeks. One session a week with Jac, about an hour, on video. No needles and no drive to Bassingbourn. Between sessions, a short set of actions built for that particular week.

The course teaches the method once, the same way, to everyone. That's enough for the woman who only needed the information. This is for the woman who'd have fixed it from a podcast by now if it were.

Your sleep problem might not be a bedtime problem. It might be a nine-o'clock-emails problem. Your Ground pillar might keep failing because a walk on your own feels selfish in your house. A course can't ask you any of that.

  • Weeks 1 and 2Ground. Bare feet, real ground, and the movement round it, built for where you live and work.
  • Weeks 3 and 4Rest. The wind-down and the rhythm, built around your real bedtime rather than an ideal one.
  • Weeks 5 and 6Orbit. Seasonal and organ-clock thinking for a desk-based week, in whatever season you're in.
  • Weeks 7 and 8Unwind. Breathwork that fits a packed day. Two-minute techniques, used in corridors.
  • Weeks 9 and 10Nourish. What and when you eat, against TCM's seasonal-eating logic and your actual calendar.
  • Weeks 11 and 12Design. Your work-from-home setup, then the whole system put together so you can run it yourself.

Jac's TCM training sits behind all twelve weeks. Nothing here is a cure, a treatment or a diagnosis. It's a system, applied to your week, by someone who has watched where it tends to break.

Not for you if you want it done for you, or you want a name for what's wrong. That's your GP, not Jac. If you'd rather work through it alone at your own pace, take the £47 course instead. It's the same method.

£1,500 for the twelve weeks. By enquiry only.

There's no checkout for this one. Jac takes a small number of these at a time, and she wants a conversation before either of you commits. Same as the in-room programmes: you talk first.

Time of the Lungs.

One hour, live, free. What TCM has taught for centuries about the season you're moving into, and one breath technique you'll use before your next meeting.

Working through autumn without running yourself down

No TCM knowledge needed, and no need to be into wellness. Forty minutes where nobody wants anything from you. Jac is picking the date. The list gets it first.
