I'm Charles. I'm an occupational therapist, and I help tired people find their way back to themselves. I teach a practice I call momenting.
If you're still tired, you're not doing it wrong. Fatigue is more complicated than tiredness, and "rest more" isn't the answer most people need.
Momenting is the practice of moving from the 'Current Moment' into the 'Present Moment'.
The Current Moment is where many of us spend our lives: rushing, worrying, planning, reacting, and operating on automatic pilot.
The Present Moment is different. It is where we are aware, grounded, connected, and can cope with whatever life throws at us.
Momenting is the practice of coming back.
It helps us notice the small moments of beauty, joy, connection, gratitude, and wonder that so often pass us by; the 'wow moments'.
Momenting helps us become collectors of wow moments. The more we notice, the more we appreciate. The more we appreciate, the richer life becomes.
Momenting is not about escaping life. It is about becoming more fully present for it so we can better handle, process and accept the inevitable 'ow moments'.
Mindfulness is the training.
Momenting is the game.
Life is the playground.
At its heart, Momenting is the art of healing through noticing, appreciating, and connecting with the present moment.
However you start, you're learning the same thing: how to come back to the present, again and again.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, while I was working in brain injury rehabilitation. I'd spent years burning through energy I didn't know I had, masking it with caffeine and momentum, then crashing in private.
Mindfulness changed that for me. So did a quieter relationship with the part of me that wouldn't stop trying. Now I help other people work out their own version of the same thing. I call the practice momenting, and it's the thread that runs through everything here.
Read more about Charles →I was introduced to Charles and his ABC approach to mindfulness in 2025, while experiencing severe workplace stress and cognitive fatigue. His blend of mindfulness and education enabled me to find balance, restore my wellbeing, return to work and take an active part in my life again. Charles supported me to integrate these practices into daily life, building my resilience and reducing my stress responses. My thinking is calmer, and so am I.
I'd tried everything. This was the first thing that actually helped me understand what was going on, instead of just telling me to rest.
I was sceptical for the first three weeks. By week six I was recommending it to a friend.
I came in exhausted and angry with myself for being exhausted. I left being kinder to myself, which turns out to be the bit that matters.
