TRANSFORMATIVE RETREATS
AND 1:1 COACHING

SUPPORTIVE, EXPERT-BACKED ONLINE COACHING PROGRAM

There comes a point in life where we realise we need to change.

Perhaps we’ve let ourselves go. 
Maybe we’ve let things accumulate, carrying our experiences like loads on our shoulders. 
It could be a doctor, a boss, or a partner who tells you that you need to change. 
 
Or maybe the only voice is your own.

RISE to the challenge

...and see your life change, on your own terms
 

MANY OF US SUFFER

- Unwanted weight gain and digestive issues
- Chronic lower back pain
- Chronic stress and burnout
- Tensions and emotional sensitivities in relationships
- A loss of meaning and motivation at work
- Work-life balance issues
- Chronic health imbalances, often improvable with adjustments in behavior (e.g. high blood pressure, insulin resistance, joint pain)

INFORMATION

about all of these is abundant, and success stories can be found.

1.Why then is the information so hard to apply to our own lives? 
 
2.Why do we give up on our health habits even when we truly want to live better? 
 
Those last two questions are the reason
The RISE Imperative exists.
 
Keeping them at the core of our approach is a game changer. Guiding you to find your own answers to these questions is what will empower you to create lasting health habits that truly align with what matters most to you.

FOUNDER AND MISSION 

Paul Brundtland, BA (Hons) Psychology, MS AEES Architecture, adapted yoga and meditation teacher 1000+hrs

In my mid-30s, relentless back pain took over my life. I couldn’t sit, walk, or even get out of bed some days—and worse than the pain was the fear that my world was shrinking. For a long time, I surrendered to it, hoping it would pass. But eventually, I realized healing was my responsibility.
 
That realization sparked a mission. I tracked everything—what worked, what didn’t—and used it to develop the method that became The RISE Imperative. It’s a system built on setting meaningful goals, taking ownership of daily actions, and showing up even when motivation fades.
 
When an arthritic knee threatened to sideline me in my 50s, I applied the same tools—and not only overcame the pain, but came back stronger. In France since 2015, I've helped hundreds of others find their own freedom from stress, pain, and exhaustion through practical, sustainable change. We are now finally opening up on an international level and can't wait to get started with you!  In the program, I'll work with you on your yoga and movement, meditation and also to onboard your other habits sustainably.
 
The RISE Imperative is more than my story—it’s a collaboration. I’ve brought together leading experts in health, psychology, neuroscience, and performance to offer the highest quality, actionable insights possible. Because real transformation starts with the right tools—and the right people to guide the way.
Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back. It’s about rising higher.
