Freefly method

THE LAB is a science-first body method in and through the water.

Structured 4 weeks training experience, delivered remote, with participants joining in from all over the world from their own pools. This is an applied mind-body state training for sustainable engagement with life and leadership.

Because we only have a few recent decades of information, that direct all our medical care and health choices. This includes all diet, hormones, medications and nutraceuticals related uniquely to women’s bodies - and brains.

For most of us, we will know in our lifetime, either for ourselves or a loved one, a woman directly affected by cognitive exhaustion, decline or even disease - and due to the echoes of research gaps and funding bias, we are most likely missing key pieces of the mental and physical health puzzle for proper preventative care and certainly, long-term longevity and bio-optimization. Change starts - with us.

And if you’re done normalizing cognitive depletion, then you’re in the right place.

The embodied brain health era is here.

The movement to restore states where the human mind can truly flourish starts now.

This work extends far beyond conversations about burnout, stress, fatigue, ADHD, wellness or brain fog - though it helps to rewire all of that.

We’re really touching on health equity, justice and the ability to make the most informed choices to safeguard our potential, our futures, our joy, our contributions and our aliveness.

It’s so much more than modern life is simply faster, more busy and fragmented. You’ve sensed that something just hasn’t added up; that disconnection and an inability to focus or organize your energy isn’t right.

Now, it’s time we listened to our bodies and trained them in their optimal cognitive power state.

Biologically, when your face enters water, your body automatically triggers the mammalian dive reflex.

Three things happen instantaneously:

Your heart rate slows,
Oxygen efficiency increases,
The nervous system downshifts to a parasympathetic (ie. rest and digest, reparative state).

This is the move into quiet and away from all the mental noise so many report.

Its also a cognitive state, when trained in a sustained way, that boosts neurplasticity (ie. the connection of new ideas and thoughts) and wires the mind-body into its own repair intelligence.

When I first started studying this, so many women anecdotally reported using water in some way to recover, from TBI, injury, illness and/or to train in water for a cognitive edge.

For the last 5 years, I've built an exploratory in-water training method that helps us all sustain that state and quantify before and after. (Data, I hope, to hand-off to inspire researchers to explore more formally.)

In short: Water is a neuro-permissive environment that regulars the nervous system, expands creativity and rewires the brain.

Applied mind-body state training for sustainable engagement with life and leadership.

This water practice is a 5 year experiment turned method that connects immersive environments, with movement, breath training and body-brain neuroplasticity; sequenced and spaced over 4 weeks in a science-first validated way with pre and post wellness assessments.  

• A remote experience, with community access, structured teaching sessions - delivered live over 4 weeks.

• You will need access to a pool and recording device. And the gear on hand of fins, a mask and dive belt.

• Plus the commitment to hit the pool 2x a week for 4 weeks.

✔️ You are an expert diver or water athlete but are curious how to deepen your understanding of the brain-body benefits and contribute to frontier research.

✔️ You love the water and dabble in many aspects of water sports or even regular water-based trips, but want to branch out into other experimental styles.

✔️ You’re a swimmer or a cold-water immersion enthusiast, but haven’t explored what it is to use your body in a creative way underwater - let alone create or capture with a camera.

✔️ You feel calmer in water and have an existing practice, but want to develop it under structured direction and connect with a community of women.

✔️ You’ve struggled with burnout, ADHD, stress, brain fog or even a TBI or injury and would benefit from a guided entry point to water training.

✔️ In the R&D phase of this program, so many women contributed their anecdotal evidence and personal narratives related to water and health. Here are just a few:

✔️ Nearly two-thirds of people living with Alzheimer’s disease are women. Women represent the majority of Alzheimer’s patients, yet clinical trials for Alzheimer’s have included up to 8× more male participants than female representation would justify.*

✔️ Women also show higher incidence rates of cognitive decline, even when age is controlled, meaning longevity alone does not explain the difference.*

✔️ Drug dosing, side-effect profiles, and disease models are often built on male-biased data. Even though major disease areas affecting women has been around ~40%.*

✔️ Despite women representing half the population, only about 7% of healthcare research focuses on conditions specific to women.*

✔️ Women perform over 60% of dementia caregiving globally, contributing to higher rates of chronic stress and caregiver burnout.*

FAQs

1. Do I need to be an experienced diver or underwater performer to participate?

No. You simply need to be a comfortable swimmer with access to a pool.

The training focuses on attention, breath, and movement in water, not athletic performance. Some participants come from diving or swimming backgrounds, while others are simply curious about the cognitive and nervous system effects of water immersion.

If you can move calmly and confidently in water, you’ll be able to participate.

2. What equipment do I need?

You’ll need access to:

• A pool (public or private is fine)
• Fins
• A mask
• A dive belt
• Nose clips (optional but helpful)
• An underwater recording device (many participants use simple waterproof cameras available online)

These tools help support the training and allow you to document your experience as part of the research and creative exploration.

3. How much time should I plan to commit each week?

Participants should plan for:

• Two pool sessions per week
• One live teaching call
• Optional time for reflection, recording, or creative experimentation in the water.

Most participants spend 2–4 hours per week engaging with the practice.

4. Is this a scientific research study?

This program is not a clinical trial, but it is designed with a research mindset.

Participants complete pre- and post-program assessments related to wellness and cognitive symptoms. The goal is to begin documenting patterns that may inspire more formal neuroscience research into how water immersion and movement influence brain states.

You’ll be contributing to an early exploration of an emerging area of embodied brain health.

5. What kinds of changes do people typically experience?

Participants often report:

• clearer thinking and reduced brain fog
• a calmer nervous system baseline
• improved focus and attention
• renewed creativity and mental flexibility
• a deeper connection between body and mind

While everyone’s experience is different, many people describe feeling like their mind “comes back online” in the water.

6. What if I’ve struggled with burnout, ADHD, or cognitive fatigue?

Many participants come to this work because they feel mentally overwhelmed, scattered, or depleted.

The method focuses on shifting the biological state of the nervous system, which can create the conditions for improved clarity, attention, and emotional regulation.

This program is not a medical treatment, but it can be a powerful supportive practice for restoring cognitive and nervous system balance.
