What Makes Tethered Different?

- Rooted in Scotland: Let timeless folklore, accents, natural soundscapes and traditions create a space for quiet reflection and inner calm.
- Scientifically Grounded: Our method is based on cognitive and affective neuroscience — using storytelling and place to stimulate limbic system engagement and evoke emotional memory.
- Founded with Heart: Tethered was born from grief. Co-founder Karen created it following the loss of both her parents. Her voice — soft, warm, and deeply personal — carries through every session.
