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…

There’s a Different Way Forward

You don’t have to keep carrying what no longer serves you. This 8-week series helps you release, realign, and reconnect—one small, supported step at a time - without leaving your life behind.

Strong on the Inside. Steady on the Outside.

Re: Unstuck Series - Practical tools for nervous system health

Hi there,

Thanks for checking out our upcoming series.

We’re living in a time that’s blasting our nervous systems. The constant noise, pressure, and speed - it’s pushing people to the edge. Most of us are carrying more than we let on. And there’s no sign of things slowing down. Change keeps coming.

We push through though, don’t we? Smiling on the outside while tackling a lot on the inside. I know this experience very well. I used to scroll, drink, binge, overwork, numb -anything to avoid feeling what was under the surface. For years, I chased a version of success that was unsustainable.

What I’ve learned is this: When you put your well-being first, everything follows. Much of what we’re experiencing feeds a state of overwhelm. But learning the skills to calm the nervous system and build new habits can create peace and happiness -not just for you, but for the people you care for and work with.

That’s why a group of us created Lumenara -to share the latest tips, strategies, and techniques that help you grow the skills to navigate modern life with calm, resilience, and joy.

When that happens, everything changes. We start showing up more honestly - for our families, our work, and the people we love. Not by trying harder, but by learning how to break free from unhelpful patterns.

This program is for everyone - whether things are going great and you're looking to build resilience or grow with intention, or you’re navigating a tougher season and need steady support.

Everything you need - just 2–3 hours a week.

Thanks for visiting. I’m looking forward to working with you.

Meet Your Facilitator

Dr Dan Harrison — Psychologist, Coach, and Co Founder of Lumenara

This toolkit started as something I built for myself. After burning out, I found myself stuck in a cycle of pressure, disconnection, and performance—while pretending everything was fine.

What changed? I stopped trying to fix myself and started learning how to work with myself. Through neuroscience, mindfulness, and simple, somatic tools, I rebuilt from the inside out. Slowly. Practically. Honestly.

Now I guide others through that same kind of shift. I bring the science (PhD in Psychology, Harvard Medical School training), the leadership experience, and the lived reality of big transitions. I'm also deepening my practice through current mentorship in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach—an experience that continues to enrich how I support others. What matters to me most? Giving people tools that actually work—especially when life feels messy.

This program is for anyone ready to support their wellbeing with clarity, steadiness, and a nervous system that’s not always in overdrive.

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.

You'll Start With Our SPARK Assessment

SPARK is your entry point to meaningful change. Grounded in behavioural science and nervous system research, this assessment helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—so you can act with insight, not guesswork.

Know Your Patterns

SPARK reveals your default emotional and behavioural responses—so you can notice them sooner and shift more easily.

Targeted Focus

No more scattered self-help. SPARK highlights where you’re most ready for change, so you can focus on what actually moves the dial.

Personalised Support

Your SPARK profile informs every step of your Unstuck journey—from ShiftX suggestions to weekly practices and AI coaching.

The ADR Model: A Practical Development Framework

Transform your patterns from the inside out — with Awareness, Disruption, and Reinforcement.

Awareness

Recognise patterns, sensations, and emotions as they arise — without judgment. Learn to listen to your body’s signals before they shout.

Disruption

Gently interrupt old loops with body-based, breath-based, or thought-based techniques. This is where stuckness starts to shift.

Reinforcement

Solidify new patterns through practice, visualisation, and reflection. This is how we make new defaults feel natural.

In Person When It Matters — or Online When You Need

If you choose the "Explorer" or "Coaching" series options, you can meet with Dan at either of our Melbourne and Echuca spaces—designed for honest conversation, deeper connection, and real momentum.

Prefer flexibility or live elsewhere? Online sessions offer the same depth, insight, and support—so wherever you are, you can still begin.

You’re in the Right Place If…

  • You want to build self-awareness—and develop greater joy and peace.
  • You’re ready to break free from patterns that hold you back.
  • You believe that small, consistent actions can create lasting change.
  • You value science-backed tools from psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience.
  • You’re open to showing up fully, with effort and compassion.

This Might Not Be For You If…

  • You’re expecting a quick fix or passive experience.
  • You need clinical or crisis-level mental health support.

  • You want someone else to “fix” things for you without your participation.
  • You’re looking for traditional therapy—Unstuck is a development program.

Questions That Matter

You don’t need to be in crisis to want change. These are the questions people ask when they’re curious—but still feeling cautious. You're not alone in wondering.

1. Who is this program for?
If you're ready to grow, pause, or shift gears—this is for you. Whether you're stretched thin, curious about your patterns, or just want tools to navigate life with more clarity, you're in the right place.
2. How much time does it take?
About 2 hours a week. The structure is flexible and designed to support—not pressure—you. You can pace it to fit your life.
3. What’s included?
You’ll get the SPARK assessment, 8-week guided program, emotional reset tools, journaling prompts, AI support, and optional coaching. All practical. All science-backed.
4. Is this like therapy?
Nope. Therapy is about healing. This is about building skills, habits, and awareness to support your growth going forward. We complement therapy—but we don’t replace it.
5. Is this trauma-informed?
Yes. We use invitational language, pace with care, and respect your autonomy. The tools meet you where you are—not where someone thinks you should be.
6. Can I do this while working full-time?
Definitely. Most participants do. It’s built for real life—with short, meaningful lessons you can do on your time.
7. Who made this?
The program was created by Dr. Dan Harrison and a broader community working on personal development. Dan is a psychologist, researcher, and someone who’s walked through burnout and come out the other side. It’s built from lived experience and backed by science.
8. What’s SPARK?
SPARK is a self-awareness tool. It helps you spot what’s working, what’s wearing you down, and where your energy is best spent next. No labels. Just clarity.
9. What’s the SPARK Debrief?
A 1:1 session with a coach to walk through your results, uncover patterns, and shape a clear, doable path forward. Most say it’s the piece that really brought things together.
10. Do I have to do the SPARK Debrief?
No—it’s optional. But if you want clarity and momentum, it’s a powerful way to start with focus and support.
11. What kind of results can I expect?
Greater clarity, more calm, and stronger self-connection. People tell us they feel more steady, less reactive, and more aligned in their day-to-day lives.
12. How do I know if I’m ready?
If you're thinking about it, you're probably ready. You don’t need to be "perfectly prepared"—you just need to be open to trying something different.
13. What does it cost?
We offer tiered pricing, payment plans, and a few scholarship spots. We want this to be accessible. Money shouldn’t be the thing that holds you back.
14. What’s the role of coaching?
Coaching helps you stay connected to what matters—your values, your direction, and your momentum. It’s not advice. It’s a partnership that helps you stay grounded as you grow.
15. Can I talk to someone first?
Yes—join a live Q&A with Dan or email us at wellbeing@lumenara.io. We're happy to answer questions and help you decide if this is right for you.
16. What if I’m also seeing a therapist?
No problem. Lumenara fits alongside therapy or coaching. Many participants find that it strengthens what they're already working on.
17. When does it start and how do I join?
Your spot is confirmed as soon as your first payment goes through. Our next 8-week series begins Monday 18 August 2025. Once you’re in, we’ll guide you step-by-step from the start.
