About The Wellbeing Website
I had to do something. People are struggling and help isn’t always available. It can often be expensive as well, and out of reach to those who really need it.
My solution:
Something that will encourage people to help themselves
Something where the key teachings are free to access
Something that can immediately be put to use
A wellbeing website. A place for anyone who would like to improve or maintain their mental health and wellbeing. A place you can go to get help.
My story
I’m Martin Robinson. This is the bit where I share my story and let you know how I can help you. You obviously don’t just sit down and create a wellbeing website like this without something happening to you. Without unique motivation.
The short version of my story is that my life changed when I was struck down with a serious neurological condition in October 2011. It left me disabled and for a time, I was unable to walk and experienced incredible pain. This created obvious physical and mental challenges.
I had to find things that would help me get through it, and I’ve never stopped. I’m pleased to say that I’ve significantly recovered now, although it was a long journey and I still face challenges. The most significant thing for me is that my focus turned to helping others.
It moved me to more meaningful work. I’ve taught wellbeing to those who really needed help. I’ve also worked on projects that supported people and seen the problems they face up close. I’m used to coming up with solutions. I’ve helped myself, I’ve helped other people and now I’d like to help you.
For me, it’s all about helping people build up their own wellbeing toolkit. Practices, activities and ideas they can use to help themselves. I’ve seen the difference it makes. I’ve seen what it could do for you.
Self-help, different

This is your wellbeing website. It’s designed to adapt to what you need. You can just dip in for some inspiration, or use it to build something incredible. You choose how you use it.
