Why Origin Wellbeing?

Why are you called Origin Wellbeing? people ask...

Hi, I’m Michael.

Back In 2018, I started a wellbeing company called Pure Turtle Wellbeing with my mother Jackie. I was a wonderful beginning to my life in wellbeing that taught me so much. After nearly ten years working together, Jackie moved to away to retire so now I've stepped forward alone with my own business - Origin Wellbeing.
A new venture born from everything I have learned and working with the values I have grown to live by.

This change feels like a natural homecoming to me, I firmly believe we have moved to far away from our origins, of how we were naturally designed to live. I believe that by returning (as best we can in this world) to how we were meant to live, we can restore a feeling of balance, control and happiness that is all too easy to forget. 

The world we live in today couldn't be further from what our bodies recognise. Everything has changed from living in nature to what feels like a simulation. 

We live thorough things, not with things.

We watch other people live, rather than live ourselves.

We eat things that look like food, rather than natural food, we drink things that taste nice, rather than what we actually need.

We live through technology, playing games on phones instead of playing games in real life, watching people through Instagram on adventures, rather than going on our own adventures. Talking through text instead of going round our friends house.

We even get our opinions/news and even our core beliefs from strangers online, rather than our own lived experience.

Our origins are living in harmony with nature, in nature. We are so lucky to exist on a planet where everything we need for our survival is freely provided for us by nature, and yet, we have a credit score.

We are not built to sit for 12 hours a day on laptops, scrolling on phones for hours a day.

We are not equipped to cope with 24/7 news, fear, pressure, 11pm emails, notification after notification with no end in sight.

Our bodies only understand food in its natural state, yet we fill it with processed food, fizzy drinks, alcohol, vapes and refined sugar.

We are designed to walk for miles looking for food, giving us exercise, vitamin D, fresh air and time to bond with our tribe, yet we either do not exercise at all, or we do it in a sterile gym, with headphones on so no-one will talk to us.

We are social creatures, isolation in caveman times meant death, yet we are encouraged to do everything alone.

All these things go against everything we are, against everything we are physically and mentally designed to manage. My goal is to help you change this, understand yourself and your lifestyle better and make lasting and positive changes.

If all that resonates with you, then get in touch and lets work together to get you back to your origins.​

Massage, Hypnotherapy & Meditation

My core offerings centre on deeply restorative therapeutic massage and transformative hypnotherapy, woven with guided meditation for those seeking inner stillness. Massage invites your body to soften and remember its instinctive ease. Hypnotherapy opens doorways to subconscious freedom and lasting change. Meditation teaches the gentle art of presence - slow breath, quiet mind, open spirit.

​

I offer personalised one-to-one sessions, intimate group classes, and bespoke programs for businesses, schools, councils, or any organisation ready to nurture calmer, kinder, more resilient spaces. In our fast-moving world, even brief moments of mindful pause can ripple into profound collective wellbeing.

Beyond the Treatment Room

Outside of this work, I find joy in gazing at the stars (astronomy is a quiet passion), following the thrill of Formula 1, strategising over chess, and travelling to immerse myself in new cultures and landscapes.

​

Thank you for taking the time to connect here. I look forward to welcoming you into the warm sanctuary of Origin Wellbeing. Creating a space where kindness, conscious touch, and gentle renewal guide every moment.

It's time to return to your origins.
