THE SWITCH

Change the state. Change the choice. Change the outcome.

Hi, I’m Radka.

I created the SWITCH from something I first discovered through my own family.

Not from a textbook.
Not from a business strategy.
From real life.

Why I created the SWITCH

I am a mother of two boys, and like many parents, I have learned that there is no manual for raising a human being.

There were years when our family felt like it was constantly trying to find its balance. One of my children experienced intense emotional reactions, disrupted sleep, nightmares, resistance to school and huge waves of energy.

I was trying everything I could find.

Parenting programmes. Family support. Courses. Professional help.

And yet something was still missing.

Then I discovered the connection between breath, body, emotions and our internal state.

I began practising myself first.

And something changed.

I realised that I didn't need to find another way to control what was happening around me.

I needed to learn how to SWITCH my own state.

And when I changed, my children began to respond differently too.

I started introducing simple breathing and self-regulation practices with them. At first, the changes were small. But with consistency, they became profound.

The nightmares stopped.

The tantrums reduced.

Their ability to regulate themselves changed.

And so did mine.

That experience changed the direction of my life.

I went on to study yoga, coaching, NLP and the deeper mechanics of human perception, emotion and behaviour. I then took what I was learning into a pupil referral unit, where I worked with young people who had already been excluded from several schools.

The results were immediate enough to make me pay attention.

Children who were considered difficult to manage were falling asleep during their first sessions because their bodies were finally able to relax.

They began opening up.

Some began using the breathing techniques at home when they felt agitated. One young person told me that instead of continuing an argument with their parents, they now chose to go to their room and practise the techniques.

That was when I knew:

These tools can be simple.
They can be taught.
And they can change what happens next.

Over the years, I continued refining them across different environments, including education and the workplace.

And this became the SWITCH.

So, what actually is the SWITCH?

The SWITCH is a practical self-regulation system.

It gives people simple tools they can use in real time to recognise their internal state, regulate themselves and create space between what they feel and what they choose to do next.

Because we cannot always control what happens around us.

But we can learn to change what happens within us.

And that changes our choices.

The SWITCH brings together practical techniques drawn from breathwork, movement, mindfulness, NLP and other approaches to self-regulation.

No particular religion, culture or belief system is required.

It is about something much more universal:

learning how to come back to yourself.

Start With The 'Upside Down' Talk

Upside Down: What do you do if your world tips upside down?

Every environment has moments when things tip upside down: a difficult term, a team under pressure, a child who feels overwhelmed, a change nobody planned.

Upside Down is my signature talk for schools, businesses and organisations. It draws on what standing on my head taught me about dreams, fear and human potential. It challenges the way we see ourselves, others and the world around us, and opens the door to greater awareness, different choices and new possibilities.

It is also the first step into the SWITCH: an experience your people can feel, not just hear.

Suitable for: pupils and students, staff and teams, leaders, parents and community groups.

Format: 30 to 60 minutes, in person or online, adapted to your audience.

No inversions are needed. The talk can be delivered with live demonstration, video or narration, depending on what suits your setting.

TWO WAYS TO BRING IT IN

Option 1: The Talk

A single inspiring session that gets people thinking differently and introduces the idea behind the SWITCH.

Ideal for: assemblies, staff training days, conferences, wellbeing weeks and community events.

Option 2: The Talk + SWITCH Workshop

The talk opens the door, then the workshop gives people the tools to walk through it.

In the workshop, your group learns and practises the SWITCH in real time: how to recognise their internal state, regulate themselves with simple breath and body practices, and create space between what they feel and what they choose to do next. Everyone leaves with practices they can use the same day.

Format: talk plus a 60 to 90 minute workshop, or a half-day, or a full-day, in person or online. Group sizes and age groups are adapted to your setting.

Ideal for: schools and colleges, staff teams, care organisations and workplaces that want something people will actually use afterwards.

SWITCH Foundation

Learn the system. Use it anywhere.

The SWITCH Foundation is the accessible starting point for schools, organisations, care providers and individuals who want to introduce self-regulation into everyday life.

It is designed to be simple enough to implement and powerful enough to create a ripple effect through an entire environment.

The Foundation includes:

Educational Masterclass
A pre-recorded masterclass explaining the mechanics behind the SWITCH — including how the practices can influence our physiological, emotional and mental states, and why the techniques are used in the way they are.

SWITCH Practices
A collection of pre-recorded techniques tailored to different environments and needs.

Implementation Guidance
Practical guidance on when and how to introduce the SWITCH within nurseries, schools, teams, care environments and other organisations.

Additional Resources
Resources will continue to be added to deepen understanding and support implementation.

The aim is simple:

Give people the tools to regulate themselves — before stress, emotion or pressure makes the choice for them.

SWITCH Partnership

Bring the SWITCH into your organisation.

Many organisations begin with a talk or workshop, then move on to the SWITCH Foundation or a full SWITCH Partnership as they see the difference it makes.

Sometimes a pre-recorded system isn't enough.

Every organisation has its own people, culture, challenges and needs.

With a SWITCH Partnership, I work directly with your organisation to understand what is really happening beneath the surface.

I observe.

I listen.

I identify the needs.

Then I create and deliver a bespoke wellbeing and self-regulation programme designed specifically for your environment.

Where appropriate, I also train your team to continue delivering and embedding the practices themselves.

This can be anything from a series of focused sessions to a longer-term project lasting several months or a year.

One organisation at a time.
One environment at a time.
Creating change that can continue long after I leave the room.

Who is the SWITCH for?

The SWITCH can be adapted for different ages, environments and organisational cultures.

It can support:

Nurseries

Primary schools

Secondary schools

Colleges

Universities

Independent and private schools

Alternative provision and PRUs

Home education providers and parents

Care organisations, their teams and clients

Small businesses

Large organisations

Teams and workplaces that genuinely care about the wellbeing of their people

Because the SWITCH works with the individual, its starting point is not age, culture, religion or belief.

It starts with the human being.

From reaction to response.

Imagine a world where people have the ability to pause before reacting.

Where a child can recognise when they are becoming overwhelmed and know what to do.

Where a teacher can regulate themselves before stepping into a difficult conversation.

Where a team member can change their state before stress becomes conflict.

Where leaders understand that wellbeing is not something added to the working day — it is part of how the working day works.

This is the ripple I want to create.

Healthier people.

Calmer environments.

More conscious choices.

And ultimately, a society that learns to respond from a place of greater awareness rather than automatically reacting from fear, stress, shame or old patterns.

"The SWITCH starts with one person.

And that person can be you."

The SWITCH is coming.

The SWITCH Foundation is planned for launch by the end of 2026.

The first 100 organisations will have access at a heavily reduced price.

Join the waiting list to express your interest and be among the first to hear when it launches.
