The Sanctuary Collection: Less Stress
Less Struggle. More Life.
Don’t work harder
at feeling better.
Give your brain something better to repeat.
Less Stress uses original songs and gentle Sanctuary Touch™
to make repetition simple, natural and enjoyable.
Because repetition doesn’t have to feel like an exercise.
It can sound like a song you enjoy.
You listen.
You can watch.
You sing along if you feel like it.
You add the gentle touch.
And each time you play the song, the words and experience
become more familiar to your brain and body.
Less Stress is a simple 12-week multi-sensory program designed to help retrain your brain toward steadier, more resilient responses to everyday stress.
Feel less overwhelmed by ordinary stress.
Bounce back faster when something knocks you off balance.
Have more patience and energy left for your actual life.
You’re Getting Through Your Life. But You’re Not Really Enjoying It.
You love the people in your life.
But some days, even the people you love can feel like another demand.
The list never ends. Someone always needs something.
You hold it together when you need to.
But by the end of the day, there can be almost nothing left.
A perfectly ordinary question can feel like one demand too many.
Sometimes the people you love most end up getting whatever patience you have left.
And afterwards you may wonder, Why did that bother me so much?
Your mind is already thinking about the next thing before you’ve
finished
what you’re doing now.
And when you finally get a few minutes to yourself,
your brain fills
them with everything you still have to do.
You’re functioning.
You’re coping.
You’re getting things done.
But somewhere along the way, life started feeling less like something you get to enjoy and more like something you simply have to get through.
You don’t necessarily need a different life.
You may need more capacity to live the life you already have.
You’ve Already
Tried So Much.
Maybe you’ve meditated, journalled, done yoga or breathwork, bought supplements, read the books, taken courses, gone to therapy, practised affirmations, or tried retreats, routines, apps and challenges.
And some of them may have helped.
For a while.
But then life got busy again.
The meditation needed time and quiet. The journalling became another thing to remember. The course gave you more information and more things to do. The retreat felt wonderful until you came home.
And once again, you found yourself trying very hard to feel better.
Maybe the problem isn’t that you haven’t tried hard enough.
Maybe too many solutions ask more from the woman who is already carrying too much.
You may need something:
What If Feeling Better
Didn’t Have To Feel
Like More Work?
What if your wellbeing practice didn’t require an hour, silence, a perfect morning routine, or another list of things to remember?
What if it could fit into the life you already have?
Foundation was designed to be simple enough for busy days, gentle enough for hard days, and enjoyable enough to return to.
Meet Less Stress
A 12-week, music-led, multisensory wellbeing program designed to support greater emotional resilience, calm and everyday enjoyment.
Less Stress draws on nervous-system-informed, bottom-up and somatic
approaches, together with repetition, rhythm, sensory input and
Polyvagal Theory as a guiding framework.
But you do not need to study any of that to use it.
Press play on your weekly song.
Use Sanctuary Touch™ while you listen.
Complete your quick Sanctuary Check-In before and after.
When you can, give yourself the full 10 to 15 minutes.
Part of Less Stress is creating a little space that is actually yours.
But real life is real life. There will be days when finding that space feels difficult.
Less Stress is flexible enough to use during smaller moments of those busy days.
Ideally, listen twice a day.
Simple on the surface. Deliberate underneath.
It can sound almost too simple.
A song. Gentle self-touch. A quick Check-In.
It would be easy to look at those pieces separately and wonder
how
something so simple could matter.
But Less Stress is not built around any one of them in isolation.
The practice deliberately brings together music, words, rhythm, repetition, sensory input, Sanctuary Touch™ and noticing in one experience.
There is nervous-system-informed thinking underneath the way Foundation has been designed.
Simple to use does not mean simplistic in its design.
You can explore the deeper thinking and supporting information inside Less Stress if you want to.
But you do not need to understand all of it before you can begin.
You can press play and experience it for yourself.
One weekly page. Everything you need.
Your lyric video, audio, song download, lyrics and Sanctuary Check-In can all be accessed together without searching through different parts of the program.
Real Songs
These are not meditation tracks, affirmations, or background ambience.
They are original songs. Some are softer. Some are cinematic.
Some are uplifting enough
that you may want to move or dance.
Each of the 9 core songs comes in two musical versions,
and Foundation also includes 2 bonus songs.

One Simple Practice.
Thoughtfully Layered.
Less Stress brings several elements together into one simple experience.
Original Music
Original songs you may actually want to hear again. The themes are carried inside music you can replay rather than another statement or worksheet you have to remember.
Sanctuary Touch™
Less Stress uses forms of gentle somatic self-touch. You choose the combination of touches that feels right for you.
Sanctuary Touch™ is an important part of the core song practice.
Voice
You do not have to sing. But you can hum or sing along if you wish.
As the songs become familiar, certain phrases or melodies may naturally return to you during the day.
Visual & Sensory
Each song has a soothing lyric video, giving you another way to follow the words and engage with the experience.
You do not need to stare at a screen to do the practice.
Repetition
Less Stress is not built around constantly learning something new. You spend time with one core song each week so the music, words and practice can become familiar to your brain and body.
Noticing
Your Check-In helps you notice what happens before and after the practice. Your Weekly Reflection helps you notice what may be changing in everyday life.
Press play. Use your Sanctuary touch. Check in. Repeat.
Miss a day? You do not catch up. You do not restart.
The Simplicity Is Not
An Absence Of Design.
When you already feel overwhelmed, you probably do not need another program asking you to watch hours of lessons, fill in a giant workbook, remember complicated techniques, keep up with a group or complete everything perfectly.
Less Stress was deliberately designed differently.
You do not need more content simply so the program looks bigger.
You need a practice you can understand, find easily and actually use.
Less searching. Less figuring out.
Less Stress is also designed to remove the little bits of friction that can make an already-busy woman give up before she even begins.
Your weekly materials are kept together so you are not clicking through different parts of the program trying to remember where the song, lyrics, video or Check-In went.
More room to actually use what you bought.
12 Weeks From Guided
To Familiar To Yours
Less Stress follows a deliberate emotional progression.
→ Make It Yours → Notice → Embody
I Can Pause
Giving yourself permission to pause.
I Am Here Now
Return your attention to this moment.
I Am Safe in the Body I’m In
Helping your body to feel safe.
I Am Calm
Allowing your body to soften and calm.
Safe Enough to Allow
Letting your body know that it is safe
to let go of what it has been holding.
I Let Go
Giving yourself permission to let go of what you have been holding on to.
I Rest Deep
Giving yourself permission to rest. If sleep comes, that is welcome. If it does not, the rest itself is enough.
I Am Whole
A celebratory reminder that you don't need to be fixed or be perfect.
I Can Trust
Learning to feel safe to trust yourself.
Make It Your Own
Begin choosing from the songs and Sanctuary Touch™ practices you now know.
Notice
Pay attention to what is becoming easier and what you naturally reach for.
Embody
Use Less Stress without needing the program to tell you exactly what comes next.
Guided → Familiar → Independent
The goal is not for you to depend on the program forever.
And you keep access to your Less Stress materials, including the
downloadable songs,
so they are there whenever you want to return
to them.
Two Extra Songs
For Real Life Moments
Not every day fits neatly into a 12-week progression.
A Moment for Me
For the days when everybody seems to want something from you and you feel overwhelmed.
I Am Grateful
Gratitude practice has scientifically proven benefits, but it shouldn't be forced.
So this song is optional.
Notice The Changes You
Might Otherwise Miss.
When you are waiting for one dramatic transformation,
it is easy
to overlook smaller changes happening along the way.
That is why the Sanctuary Check-In is a core part of Foundation.
Before your song-and-touch practice, quickly rate how stressed or activated you feel.
Listen to the song while doing Sanctuary Touch
After the practice, check again.
It takes seconds.
Maybe you began at an 8 and finished at a 5.
Maybe you began at a 6 and finished at a 2.
Maybe the number did not change at all.
The point is not to score well.
It is to notice.
Weekly Reflection
Once a week, Foundation gives you a very short Weekly Reflection.
It is mostly quick checkboxes.
Any writing is completely optional.
No long journalling. No essays.
Less Stress Is Not About
Being Calm All The Time.
Life will still happen.
You may still get annoyed. You may still have stressful days. You may still have moments when everything feels like too much.
Work may still be demanding.
Someone you love may still need something when you are already exhausted.
A difficult conversation may still happen at exactly the wrong time.
It just doesn’t have to take so much out of you.
Less Stress Doesn’t Have
To Look Like Sitting Still.
Your core Less Stress practice is your weekly song,
Sanctuary Touch™ and Check-In.
But the music can also become part of the rest of your life.
Sit with it. Walk with it. Move with it. Dance with it.
Make Less Stress fit your life, not the other way around.
Want To Understand
The “Why”? It’s There.
Some women love understanding exactly why something was designed the way it was. Others would rather press play and get on with their day.
Optional material explores hidden signs of stress, the nervous system,
science behind the songs, and somatic touch.
None of it is required before you can begin.
I Spent More Than 30 Years Searching For Answers.
Severe chronic fatigue dominated my life. I tried practitioners, alternative
therapies, supplements, gadgets, energy work - anything that might
help. A few things helped a little.
Then, a couple of years ago, suddenly I could barely function. The fatigue and brain fog became so severe that cooking and shopping were impossible. For well over a year, I was mostly bedbound, relying on a family member to manage what I no longer could. After three decades of searching, life had nearly stopped.
What I eventually learned about stress and nervous-system patterns
pointed me toward one realisation:
So I began creating songs for myself - not dreary tracks I had to endure, but songs I liked and wanted to play again. I paired them with gentle somatic touch practices I'd discovered were very helpful.
Then something happened that upset me deeply. In the past, situations like that could derail me for weeks. This time I was still upset. But I did not fall into the same prolonged shutdown pattern.
While I had been confident the songs and touch would help,
even I was surprised at how soon, and how much it had made a difference.
I kept creating. Kept practising. Shared with a few women.
Added instructions, the Sanctuary Check-In and the reflections.
And what began as something I made for myself gradually became
The Sanctuary Collection: Less Stress .
Designed for real life on purpose.
What Women Are Noticing
I'm enjoying the songs...I realised I didn’t even need my login in that moment. I already knew how to do the Sanctuary Touch and I sang what I remembered of the song... It isn’t just a course. It has actually become a part of my life that I can do anytime.
You mentioned how the catchy lyrics become positive ear worms... well, it is working! The songs are in my head all the time. I even wake up with them in my head.
Beautiful and soothing... the gentle respectful touch of my own palms and face and arms... the heartbeat, the breath, the music... I found it soothed my soul. Tanya...You have found a wonderful multisensory artform for peace and healing.
The thing I care about most?
Not that women “complete a course.”
Deliberately Left Out.
Less Stress does not contain everything an online
program is
apparently “supposed” to contain.
That is intentional.
You won’t have to:
- Make room in your week for live calls or replays
- Keep up with a group pace
- Post to prove you are participating
- Watch hours of lessons
- Complete a huge workbook
- Catch up if you fall behind
- Restart if you miss a day
- Memorise a complicated routine
Instead, you get:
- One clear weekly focus
- Everything you need for the week kept together
- Original music you can download and return to
- Sanctuary Touch™
- The Sanctuary Check-In
- Short Weekly Reflections
- Simple guidance and encouragement
- Optional deeper information if you want it
- A practice you can use on your own schedule
I didn’t leave those things out because Less Stress is incomplete.
I left them out because you may already be carrying enough.
There is no call you have to rearrange your evening for.
No replay waiting for you because you missed it.
No other participant’s pace telling you whether you are ahead or behind.
If life gets messy for a few days, you have not failed and you have not fallen behind anyone.
More room to actually use what you bought.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Less Stress a nervous-system regulation program?
Less Stress is a nervous-system-informed, music-led multisensory wellbeing program.
It draws on nervous-system-informed, bottom-up and somatic approaches, together with repetition, rhythm, sensory input, gentle self-touch and Polyvagal Theory as a guiding framework.
It is not medical treatment and does not claim to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.
Is this just music?
No. The music is central, but the core Less Stress practice combines music, Sanctuary Touch™, the Sanctuary Check-In and repetition inside a structured 12-week progression.
What do I actually do each day?
Ideally, listen to your weekly song while using Sanctuary Touch™ for around 10 to 15 minutes twice daily.
Complete your quick Check-In immediately before and after.
Outside the core practice, listen, hum, sing, walk, move or dance with the music whenever you like.
Is Sanctuary Touch™ optional?
Sanctuary Touch™ is an important part of the core Foundation practice.
You will learn simple techniques and can choose the one, or combination, that feels most comfortable.
There will naturally be times when touch is impractical or unsafe. In those moments, enjoy the music and return to the full song-and-touch practice later.
Do I have to sing?
No. Listen quietly if you prefer. Humming and singing are additional ways to engage with the music.
What if I miss a day?
Continue.
No catching up. No restarting. No guilt.
Repetition, not perfection.
How important is the Sanctuary Check-In?
Very. It is a core part of Less Stress because it helps you notice your own experience before and after the practice.
The slider takes only seconds. Recording your song, touch or notes is optional.
Do I have to complete the Weekly Reflection?
It is strongly encouraged because it helps you notice real-life changes that may otherwise be easy to overlook.
Most of it is quick check boxes. Any writing is completely optional.
The reflection is never used to lock you out of the next week.
Why one core song each week?
Because Less Stress is built around familiarity and repetition rather than constantly giving you something new.
Each core song has two musical versions.
What if I get tired of the weekly song?
Try the other musical version first.
If you genuinely need a break, use another Sanctuary song available to you and then return to the weekly focus.
This is not meant to become a battle.
Can I walk, dance or exercise with Sanctuary?
Yes. Extra listening can easily accompany walking, movement or appropriate exercise.
Where touch is safe and practical, you can include it. Where it is not, simply listen and return to your full core practice later.
Can I use Less Stress while driving?
You may listen to the songs as you would ordinary music.
Do not use Sanctuary Touch™, the Check-In, lyric videos or any other distracting part of the practice while driving.
Do I have to learn all the nervous-system theory?
No. Press play and begin.
Deeper information is there only if you want it.
Is Less Stress therapy?
No. Less Stress is a wellbeing and personal-development program. It is not therapy, medical care or a substitute for appropriately qualified professional support.
Are the songs downloadable?
Yes. Less Stress is designed to become something you can use in everyday life, so the songs are available for personal-use download.
They may not be shared, redistributed, uploaded, resold or used commercially.
What happens after Week 12?
You keep access to Less Stress.
The intention is that by then you know the songs and practices well enough to choose what supports you without needing the program to continually tell you what to do.
Is there a group or Zoom calls?
No. Less Stressis private and self-paced.
Supported and Personal support is also delivered without group calls.
What is the difference between the three tiers?
Less Stress: complete program, working independently.
Less Stress Supported: complete program plus two short, uplifting video messages in your inbox each week.
Less Stress Personal: everything above plus individual video support and a custom Sanctuary song.
Can I try Less Stress before buying?
If you're on the fence, start with the 7-Day Experience.
The 7 Day Sanctuary Experience includes two versions of a Sanctuary song, two Sanctuary
Touch™ practice, the Check-In, instructions and supportive emails.
If you purchase the full program within 10 days the amount you paid is credited towards the program - so it is essentially a free trial.
What is the refund policy?
14-Day Refund Policy The Sanctuary Collection: Less Stress includes a 14-day voluntary refund period. You may request a refund within 14 calendar days of your original purchase by contacting us at the support email address provided on this website. We ask that you briefly tell us why the program was not the right fit for you. This helps us understand our customers' experience and improve the program. If your refund is approved, your access to Less Stress will be cancelled and the purchase price will be returned using the original payment method where possible. Refund requests made after the 14-day period are not normally eligible for a refund, except where required by applicable consumer law. Nothing in this policy limits any statutory rights you may have under the consumer laws that apply to your purchase.
Less Struggle. More Life.
You do not need a life where nothing ever goes wrong.
There will still be busy days, unexpected problems,
difficult
conversations and people who need things from you.
Less Stress is not about becoming perfectly calm.
It is about becoming less reactive and more resilient.
So perhaps you pause sooner.
Recover more easily.
Reach the end of the day with more
of yourself left.
More patience for the people you love.
More room for energy.
More room for laughter.
More room for joy.
A practice designed to become yours.
