It’s Like the Stress Button is Jammed On
“For many of us, the ‘panic button’ gets jammed on. Even when the danger is long past, the body keeps bracing. The mind keeps scanning. We’re still waiting for the moment we can finally exhale.” — inspired by Tara Brach
- Endless work meetings that go nowhere
- Supporting everyone else’s needs first
- Scrolling just to numb out
- Another late night… another early morning
- A drink to relax, but it’s never enough
- Feeling behind on everything
- The pressure to perform at work
- Being the strong one — always
- No time to breathe, reflect, reset
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone…
An Invitation to Begin Again
We’re living in a time that’s frying our nervous systems. The constant noise, pressure, and speed—it’s pushing people to the edge. And most of us are carrying more than we let on.
We push through. We smile when we’re barely holding it together. We scroll, drink, binge, numb—anything to not feel what’s under the surface. I know, because I did it too. For years, I chased success while quietly falling apart inside. I overworked, overdrank, overfunctioned—until I couldn’t anymore.
What I’ve learned is this: healing doesn’t come from fixing yourself. It comes from finally seeing yourself—without judgment. From getting honest. From slowing down enough to hear what your body and mind have been trying to say for years.
That’s why I created Lumenara. Not as a brand. As a lifeline. A space to stop performing and start listening. The SPARK assessment and personalised practices aren’t here to optimise you. They’re here to bring you back to yourself—gently, truthfully, and at a pace that honors your reality.
You don’t need to snap back to “normal.” You don’t need to have a breakthrough. You just need to take one real step toward yourself. That’s it. One shift at a time.
Because when we stop abandoning ourselves, everything changes. We show up more honestly—for our families, our work, and the people we love. Not by trying harder—but by finally getting real.
On the next page, I’ll walk you through what the journey looks like—and how this can meet you right where you are.
I’m not above this work. I’m in it too. And I’d be honored to walk beside you.
This work doesn’t start with pushing harder. It starts when you decide your wellbeing is worth putting first.
Dr. Dan Harrison
Co Founder, Lumenara
Real tools. Honest work. Built for the hard days.
“When wellbeing is the top priority, everything follows.”
Welcome to Unstuck: A Toolkit for Real Life
Insight means nothing if you can’t access it when you’re spiraling.
Healing doesn’t happen in theory—it happens in the messy, frustrating, in-between moments when you're trying not to shut down or blow up.
That’s why we turned lived experience, evidence, and hard-won tools into something real—something you can actually reach for when you need it most.
SPARK Well-Being Assessment
Not a personality test. Not a vibe check. SPARK shows you where you’re stuck—and where you’re strong—so you can stop guessing and start working with what’s real.
NeuroShift Tools
Quick, guided resets for when your brain is racing, your chest is tight, or you’re halfway down a shame spiral. Tools that meet you where you are—so you can shift, not sink.
ShiftX Microlearning
No fluff. Just 15-minute sessions to help you understand your patterns, build awareness, and practice new ways of showing up—without needing a whole damn weekend retreat.
Optional 1:1 Coaching
If you want backup, our coaches are here. No judgment. No fixes. Just real conversation, accountability, and space to figure things out with someone who gets it.
Find Your Starting Point
You don’t need to pretend everything’s fine. You just need a place to begin.
This short check-in helps us understand what’s real for you right now—so we can offer the support that actually fits.
Choose the path that feels most true right now:
Your Journey with Unstuck
This isn’t a course you push through. It’s a space to slow down, reflect, reset—and move forward differently.
Welcome + Setup
As soon as you join, you’ll receive a curated Welcome Pack with your nervous system reset card deck, a guided reflection journal, and a clear orientation guide—plus instant access to the Behaviour Hacking Mini Course. Everything’s designed to help you settle in, feel prepared, and start shifting gears before Week 1.
- Start grounded—not scrambling
- Get clarity and confidence from day one
- Begin shifting patterns with purpose
“You’ll walk in already knowing what to do and why it matters.”
SPARK: Your Honest Check-In
The SPARK Assessment helps you get honest about what’s happening—internally and externally. You’ll spot the patterns that are draining you, the strengths you’ve forgotten, and where to focus next.
- Name what’s really going on beneath the surface
- Stop blaming yourself—start working with what’s real
- Leave with a map, not just insight
“It shows you the patterns—without judgment.”
Your SPARK Debrief
Included in Explorer Club & Coaching plans, this 90-minute 1:1 session is where clarity meets direction. A trained coach will walk through your results and help you set 2–3 personal focus areas you can actually work with.
- Turn awareness into clear next steps
- Walk away with confidence—not confusion
- Shape your path around who you are, not who you “should” be
“This call changes things. It helps you focus where it matters most.”
The Program Begins
Across 8 grounded weeks, you’ll learn to regulate your emotions, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with what matters. Each week includes structured content, real-life practices, and support from Aria, your AI-powered coach.
- Short, practical lessons—not overwhelm
- Journaling that helps—not homework that drains
- Aria supports you daily—even when it’s messy
Optional Coaching
Need deeper support? Our Premium option includes personal coaching—because sometimes you need a real person to help you hold the pieces.
- 1:1 Coaching—For clarity, accountability, and momentum
- Group Coaching—For reflection, connection, and shared insight
“This is support that meets you where you actually are.”
Begin Again—On Your Terms
This isn’t a self-help sprint. It’s a return to something real—yourself. One week at a time.
Meet Your Facilitator
Dr Dan Harrison — Psychologist, Coach, and Co Founder of Lumenara
I’ve been where you might be now — high-achieving on the outside, quietly falling apart on the inside. I burned out. I numbed out. I lived in a fog of shame, pressure, and disconnection while still performing like everything was fine.
Eventually, I stopped trying to fix myself — and started learning how to actually feel. I rebuilt from the inside out using neuroscience, mindfulness, somatic practice, and a hell of a lot of honesty. That journey changed everything.
Now I guide others through the same kind of shift. I bring the science (PhD in Psychology, Harvard Medical School training), the career experience, and the lived truth. What I care about most? Giving people real tools for the real world — especially when things feel messy.
If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through it all, this work is for you. Not to perfect yourself. To come back to yourself — with clarity, strength, and a nervous system that isn’t constantly on fire.
From Stuck to Self: My Journey
Before Lumenara existed, I had to break down — and rebuild — from the inside out. Here’s how it happened, and why I believe this work matters now more than ever.
Everything looked fine—until it wasn’t.
The Illusion of Success
On paper, I had it all. A PhD, a great career, a family, status. But inside, I was chasing an endless sense of “not enough.” No matter what I achieved, peace stayed just out of reach.
Behind the smile was a storm I couldn’t stop.
The Inner Collapse
I was spiraling. Anxiety. Bullying at work. Alcohol. A body that never felt safe. Depression that didn’t respond to treatment. I kept showing up for others—but I was disappearing inside myself.
It didn’t begin with a breakthrough. It began with a choice.
The Turning Point
On October 12, 2023, I stopped waiting to feel ready. I made one quiet but powerful decision: I would put my well-being first. Not after I fixed everything. Not someday. Now.
Breath by breath, step by step—I rebuilt from within.
The Rebuild
I stopped performing and started paying attention. I studied everything—neuroscience, breathwork, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, somatic tools. I practiced what I found. Slowly, I came back to life. And I built Lumenara to offer others the same way back.
What This Is Built On
The tools inside Lumenara aren’t just inspired—they’re evidence-based.
We’ve pulled together decades of research across psychology, neuroscience, trauma recovery, lifestyle medicine, and behavior change to create a system that actually works in the real world—especially on the hard days.
You’ll find practices influenced by Daniel Goleman (Emotional Intelligence), Stephen Porges (The Polyvagal Theory), Tara Brach (RAIN), Rick Hanson (Resilient), Judson Brewer (Unwinding Anxiety), BJ Fogg (Tiny Habits), and Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing)—among many others.
This isn’t theory for theory’s sake. Every concept we use has been filtered through lived experience, validated in coaching rooms, and refined to be something you can actually use when life is messy.
The research continues to evolve—and so do we. You won’t just learn it here. You’ll live it.
