the sun-kissed home of
sensorial living for wellbeing
walk with us
Live courageously. Trust imagination. Embrace possibility.
Transitions rarely spark in a single moment. Nor is the next destination always clear. Personal growth transcends through the conversations we have, the stories we hear, the communities we share, the experiences we choose, the company we keep, the courage we show, and the willingness to grow.
Apricus has thoughtfully curated a collection of embodied coaching and sensorial wellbeing journeys, stories, gatherings and rituals, guided by our philosophy… Sensorial Living for Wellbeing™.
Through guidance and sensorial practices we invite you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, free your imagination and trust your instinct. Together, we hold space to nurture your inner world, so you can confidently and courageously navigate your life journey with greater meaning, presence and joy.
We truly believe… imagination allows us to see possibilities before they exist. Courage is what brings them to life. And the courage we live becomes part of the legacy we leave.
THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL. LEAD WITH COURAGE. WALK WITH US.
what is embodied coaching?
Life doesn't always ask us to start over. More often, it invites us to begin again.
Sometimes that invitation arrives gently. A lingering question. A restless feeling, that the life you've so carefully built no longer reflects who you are becoming.
Perhaps you've reached a defining transition. A career that no longer inspires you. A relationship, place or identity you've outgrown. Perhaps your life story feels as though it has reached a blank page, but you're no longer certain what comes next. Or perhaps life is already good, yet a calling within you is rising… “Is this all I'm here for? What next?”
Often, they are the first whispers of transformation.
Our embodied coaching methodology is a compassionate yet powerful pathway, designed to honour life’s defining transitions with presence, discernment and deep respect for the story you carry.
Together, we create a safe space to explore what’s unfolding beneath the surface, bringing clarity to what no longer serves you and illuminating the possibilities waiting to emerge. We honour the tiredness that comes from years of striving and holding everything together. We honour the grief of letting go, the uncertainty of change, and the quiet wisdom emerging beneath the noise. Most importantly, we honour the brilliance that has always been within you.
Through embodied coaching, creative intelligence and soul-led practice, we illuminate possibilities that may have once felt just beyond reach. As clarity returns, courage grows. Confidence deepens. Decisions become aligned with what truly matters. The life you're longing for begins not as something you chase, but as something you consciously create.
Whether you choose to journey through private 1:1 coaching, an intimate group experience or one of our transformational coaching gatherings, every pathway is thoughtfully curated to help you reconnect with your deepest values, your natural gifts and the contribution only you can make.Because when we change the story we live by, we don't just transform our own lives. We change the way we show up for everyone, and the world around us.
We believe transformational coaching is both a privilege and a responsibility. Every journey is held with compassion, integrity, discernment and deep respect for the courage it takes to begin again.
ILLUMINATE YOUR COURAGE. EMBODY YOUR BRILLIANCE. LEAVE THE WORLD BRIGHTER.

meet your guide
One life. Unlimited possibilities.
Hello sunshine!
I'm Briseis (pronounced Brie-say), a writer and guide on courageous living, and founder of Apricus by Nature.
I curate signature embodied coaching and sensorial wellbeing journeys to help honour and support you on your own life journeys. I meet you at life's defining crossroads, restless transitions, identity upheavals… at any point life is asking for more, but overwhelm or uncertainty are holding you back from chasing your dreams.
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 accumulating more or becoming someone different. It's about honouring what has shaped us while finding the courage, clarity and imagination to consciously author a beautiful life, knowing we are the creators of our dreams and destiny.
For three decades my work centred on imagining possibilities before they existed — imagining and designing concepts to finished art, leading creative teams, directing brand stories, writing stories and publishing magazines. All before the explosion of AI.
Today that same creative lens has found a new canvas. Rather than helping organisations imagine what's possible through their brand stories, I now help people imagine what’s possible — and courageously create — the next chapter of their own life stories.
My work brings together creative leadership, embodied coaching and the Apricus philosophy, Sensorial Living for Wellbeing, to help people navigate transitions and cultivate life callings with greater courage, so they can author lives of deeper meaning, authentic success and valued 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 travel adventures and seasons that required enormous trust without knowing the outcomes.
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 that, in an increasingly automated world, our greatest contribution remains deeply human: our capacity to imagine, create, love, adapt and consciously author meaningful lives is a fundamental skill for living a plentiful life.
THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL. LEAD WITH COURAGE. WALK WITH ME.
I offer various depths of embodied coaching journeys each year. If you'd like to explore whether one of these journeys is right for you, I warmly invite you to begin with a complimentary Hello Sunshine™ conversation or monthly community gathering, where together we’ll explore what’s unfolding in your life and discover the pathway best suited to our next chapter.
Welcome to the sunny side of life.

“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.”

What is Sound Therapy?
Sound is one of the oldest ways we know to invite the body and mind into deep rest.
At Apricus, our sound journeys combine the restorative qualities of vibrational sound with intentional facilitation to create space for relaxation, reflection and renewal. Each experience is thoughtfully curated to support nervous system restoration and encourage a greater sense of presence and wellbeing.
Whether experienced individually or in community, our intention is clear: to help people slow down, reconnect and return to themselves.
Available for:
Community gatherings • Collaborative events • Corporate wellbeing • Private events
Facilitated by a qualified Sound Therapist.
