walk with us
A collection of thoughtfully curated experiences inspired by our philosophy of
‘sensorial living for wellbeing’.
Through embodied coaching, creative experiences and sensory practices, we invite people to slow down, reconnect and explore life with greater courage, presence and imagination.
embodied coaching
Illuminate your courage. Imagine new possibilities. Leave the world a little brighter.
Life occasionally presents us with defining crossroads.
Moments when the question is no longer "Who am I?" but, "What next?"
Sometimes these moments arrive through choice. Sometimes through circumstance. A career no longer aligns. A relationship changes. A long-held dream begins calling more loudly than the life we've created.
These are threshold moments. Not because something is wrong with you.
But because something within you is asking to be honoured.
Walk With Me
I help people navigate life's defining transitions with greater courage, clarity and imagination so they can consciously author lives of deeper meaning, authentic success and lasting contribution.
Together we create space to slow down, reflect deeply and reconnect with what matters most.
Through embodied coaching, creative intelligence and thoughtful conversation, we illuminate possibilities that may have felt just beyond reach.
Because imagination is required to see possibilities before they exist. And courage is what brings them to life.

One life. Unlimited possibilities.
I'm Briseis (pronounced Brie-say), writer, guide and founder of Apricus by Nature ltd. co.
I work with people standing at life's defining crossroads — those moments when the question is no longer "Who am I?" but "What next?"
Having lived between countries, rebuilt careers, founded creative businesses and embraced uncertainty through my own transitions, I've come to believe that beginning again isn't about becoming someone different. It's about honouring what has shaped us while finding the courage, clarity and imagination to consciously author what comes next.
For more than twenty-five years my work centred on imagining possibilities before they existed — leading creative teams, directing brands, writing stories and publishing magazines.
Today that same creative lens has found a new canvas.
Rather than helping organisations imagine what's possible, I now help people imagine — and courageously create — the next chapter of their own stories.
My work brings together creative leadership, embodied coaching and philosophy to help people navigate life's defining transitions with greater courage so they can author lives of deeper meaning, authentic success and lasting contribution.
My greatest teacher has never been a qualification. It has been life itself.
I've known profound joy, unexpected grief, courageous departures, reinvention, financial independence, meaningful adventures and seasons that required enormous trust without knowing the outcome.
Every chapter has reinforced one simple belief: Imagination is required to see possibilities before they exist. And courage is what brings them to life.
I believe our greatest contribution remains deeply human — our capacity to reflect, create, adapt and leave the world a little brighter because we were here.

What clients are saying…
“Briseis created such a safe, calming and supportive space during our journeying coaching session. I felt completely at ease to explore whatever came up for me, and the visualisation was incredibly powerful. The experience brought some beautiful insights, helping me connect the threads between my past, present and potential self in a way that felt both meaningful and inspiring. It gave me a deeper sense of clarity around what’s possible moving forward, and I’m so grateful for the space she held and the gentle guidance she offered throughout.
Thank you so much for a beautiful session Briseis, I can’t wait to delve deeper on our next session.” (Sue, Bulgaria, April 2026)
“Briseis helped me gently explore an aspect of a situation I’m currently navigating that I hadn’t even realised was weighing on me. It felt really powerful to give it space, to notice how my feelings around it had been influencing my work, which helped me start to reframe some limiting beliefs. She also supported me in exploring my vulnerability around celebrating my achievements. Through that, I uncovered some beautiful insights about and felt a renewed sense of excitement for an upcoming project.
I felt completely safe with Briseis and really appreciated the way she calmly and intuitively guided me through several threads that I hadn’t realised were all connected. I left the session feeling clearer, lighter, and deeply supported. Her presence is thoughtful, intuitive and grounding, and she brings so much empathy and experience to the space. I’m really looking forward to seeing where our sessions go next.” (Amanda, Kent. UK. March 2026)
“ I had a coaching session with Briseis when I was feeling quite overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. During our session, she created a very calm and safe space. She listened carefully and helped me structure my scattered thoughts step by step. By the end of the conversation, I felt much calmer and finally had clarity about my next steps.
What stood out to me was how thoughtful she was afterwards. She checked in with me and even sent key insights from our session, which made me feel seen and supported, and also helped me keep the momentum. I would definitely recommend her as a coach. She combines efficiency with genuine care, which is not always easy to find.” (Suzana, Slovenia, March 2026)
“As a chronic over-thinker I thought I had thought of everything… Briseis surprised me with some powerful new insights which left me feeling optimistic about future progress! I can’t wait for our next session together!” (Mandy, London, UK. March 2026)
