The People Behind RRD CIC
We are on a mission to help people release the impact of stress and trauma from the body and to give the next generation a life tool for lasting well-being.
Release Recover Discover CIC was created to make body-led healing simple, safe, and accessible.
Our work helps adults understand how stored tension affects physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through every programme purchased, we contribute to our Youth Mission, helping young people learn a life tool before stress and trauma shape their adult lives.
Meet Our Leaders
Caroline Purvey
Founder and CEO
Dr. (Honoris Causa) Natural Medicine
UN Peace Ambassador
Caroline is the co-founder of Release Recover Discover CIC with her son Daniel and the creator of the Total Release Experience®. Her work grew from personal experience, professional training, and a deep belief that the body holds the key to healing.
For more than a decade, Caroline has helped people release the impact of stress and trauma through a safe, guided, body-led process. Her approach teaches people how to reconnect with their body, release stored tension, and begin to feel more in control of their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Caroline is also the author of Feel It To Heal It and is committed to making this work accessible to families, schools, communities, and organisations.
Daniel Wood
Co-founder RRD
Director of International Operations
UN Peace Ambassador
Daniel works alongside Caroline to bring Release Recover Discover CIC to the people, families, schools, and organisations who need it most.
Having experienced the Total Release Experience® himself, Daniel understands the difference it can make when someone learns how to release stress and trauma from the body. His own journey through challenge, change, and healing gives him a deep passion for supporting others, especially fathers and young people.
Daniel leads the technology, systems, and accessibility behind the programme, helping make RRD available online, at home, and in different languages.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower and inspire one million young people to release stress, recover their well-being, and discover who they are before childhood stress becomes an adult struggle.
Stress and trauma do not only live in the mind. They can leave tension held in the body, affecting how people feel, think, behave, learn, work, and relate to others.
RRD CIC gives people a simple, guided way to release that tension safely. Adults who take part do more than support their own healing. They also contribute towards our Youth Mission so young people can learn this life tool early.
When one adult chooses to heal, they become an Inspiration for the Next Generation.
I’ve gone from living with trauma and using self-destructive behaviours to having trauma in the past and being kind to myself. My depression has lifted, my anxiety levels have lowered significantly,
I’m generally calm and relaxed, I no longer have nightmares or flashbacks, I’m sober, have consistently good energy levels, and enjoy self-care.’
‘The programme has helped me release years of trauma. Daily, I was experiencing PTSD flashbacks and anxiety, and this has vanished. This has helped me cope with day-to-day emotions and hardship very well.
I highly recommend it just because this is the first of many things that I have found to have worked.’
