Whole Science is an online magazine on the potential power of the human mind.
It combines consciousness research with self development tools and techniques.
I set up the business after completing 1 year of a 2 year MSc course in Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology. Emboldened by the amount of significant results within consciousness research and parapsychology, I decided that these important findings needed to be communicated to the general public.
Consciousness research has been carried out for around 100 years now, but it is only in the last 30 years that the field has made significant advances, especially in the areas of mind-body science, mental imagery, and psi research (telepathy, extra-sensory perception etc).
In 3 years time, I hope that Whole Science magazine is both a thriving online business and a print magazine. My main aim is to get into the mainstream media with my brand, and allow as many people as possible to be aware of the research that is currently going on around the world. Success to me is getting my brand in the public eye, and my ultimate vision is to have my advertisements on billboards.
Striding Out has helped me immensely. The networking events have been invaluable and I have not only met some fantastic people but have also learned some important business skills. One-to-One coaching sessions are also very beneficial in the fact that you can use them as a yardstick to measure your progress and update your coach on what you have achieved since the last session.
As I currently work alone, this has helped me a lot. Striding Out have gone out of their way to help me in the areas where I feel I need support, securing me expert financial and marketing advice and connecting me to the right people. They have definitely been an integral part of my progression with Whole Science.
