About Adapt Wellness
Meet Marlene Gorman
The Heart Behind Adapt Wellness
Hi, I’m Marlene, the founder and director of Adapt Wellness, a passionate advocate for stress empowerment through holistic wellness practices, with a career spanning over 18 years in clinical and academic settings. From my earliest memories, I have felt a burning empathy for the suffering of others, this propelled me into a career dedicated to helping people improve their quality of life. Throughout my career, and my own personal journey, I have learned that to truly live well we must adapt to the world around us, this ability sits at the heart of Adapt Wellness.
Through a seamless blend of expertise in respiratory physiotherapy and a profound understanding of behaviour change and stress management, I have tailored the Adapt Wellness method. This evidence-based programme is designed to cultivate resilience, offering a fresh perspective on stress that transcends traditional methods.
The Adapt Wellness Difference
Today’s world is more uncertain, with increasing demands and challenges, Adapt Wellness can help you find your calm, to focus more clearly on the things that matter. Unlike traditional stress management which seeks to eliminate stress, I believe in harnessing it. I pair research-grounded practices with compassionate delivery, ensuring your experience with me is both safe and life-affirming.
