Li-Anne operates at a rare intersection between deep contemplative practice and modern clinical science. With a background in neuroscience, psychotherapy and over 30,000 hours of training in monastic environments, she bridges the gap between the ancient "source code" of the mind and the practical demands of high-performance modern life.
Her work began from a simple observation: traditional meditation often fails high-performers because it requires them to slow down, while modern "hacks" offer only temporary relief. This led her to develop a new architecture for those who need to regulate their internal state while operating under pressure.
This architecture is The Off-Cushion System, a secular, engineering-based approach to rewiring the nervous system. The method treats the human mind not as something to be calmed, but as an operating system to be debugged and upgraded. It moves beyond simple "symptom management" (like temporary relaxation) to address the root cause of stress by rewriting the deep "Identity Scripts" that generate reactivity. Through a series of protocols, users learn to stabilise their biological hardware before upgrading their cognitive software, enabling them to achieve unshakeable stability without sacrificing speed or performance.
