Helping Busy Creatives Work Smarter, Slow Down & Play More :)
Hey! I'm Rik. Long story short, I’m an independent SEO-PR consultant and founder. Previously a strategist at one of the UK’s top digital marketing agencies, I now use my expertise to fund initiatives supporting mental health & creativity.
I used to work hard and fast. I used to think: "if I can just hit that target/get that pay rise/take that holiday/win that award, then I'll be happy"
After 7 years in a "successful" career making money for my clients and myself, I achieved all these external goals... and experienced burnout.
Now, I focus on helping people learn from my experience through training, connecting, creating and celebrating. I work smarter. I slow down. I play more. 😎
Check out the services and products below to see how I can help you.

WE ARE HAPS
Nutrition is fundamental to mental health, but isn't prescribed because anti-depressants are so profitable for big pharma. So, I worked with experts to develop HAPS as a natural way to boost serotonin and support mental health.
