The online course
AI skills and a calmer mind, together
Each week pairs one AI module with one mindfulness module. You read or listen, then try it on your own work: a scenario, a guided practice, a worksheet and a short knowledge check.
Prompt AI with a plan
A simple structure (C.R.A.F.T.) for prompting the AI tools you already use, so you get more consistent results, not guesswork.
Practices for a desk job
Short mindfulness practices, each labelled with the evidence behind it, built for people who sit at a desk all day, not on a meditation cushion.
Check AI's work
Where AI genuinely helps, where it makes things up, and how to keep a person accountable for every output.
Live online programmes, by application
I run the course live with a small number of teams, by video, wherever your people work. AI training and mindfulness together; one track on its own is available on request.
AI Training Only
Practical AI training on your team's real work: finding the tasks worth handing to AI, prompting well, and checking every output. It works with whatever AI tools you already use.
On request
Mindfulness Training Only
Mindfulness, breathing and focus practices, each labelled with the evidence behind it, with the Rootcrown app for daily practice. They help your team handle digital noise and the stress of change, and protect their best working hours.
On request
AI + Mindfulness
Both together: safe AI use, plus the mindfulness practice that helps people stay steady through the change. It has the highest recovered value of the three.

Software know-how and psychology
I spent nearly eight years as a solutions consultant for global software companies (Lectra, PTC and EFI Optitex), after two decades in fashion production. I have a Bachelor of Social Sciences majoring in Psychology (BSocSc, University of Waikato), and I'm certified in mindfulness facilitation.
So I understand both sides of AI at work: the technology, and what it does to people's focus and stress.

Questions
Questions
Do I need to be online at set times? +
No. A new week opens every seven days, and you do each module when it suits you, in about 20 to 30 minutes. If you'd like company, the $449 monthly group adds three live group calls with me.
Do I need a technical background? +
No. The AI modules start from the basics and use the tools you already have. The mindfulness practices are short and made for a working day.
How is Aligned Momentum different from an AI vendor or software consultant? +
- I take no vendor commissions or kickbacks and sell no third-party software.
- The only product I sell is my own Rootcrown practice app (formerly EnlightenMe), and the price is upfront: included for six months (the programme and its 12-week follow-up), then $12 per user per month or $120 a year.
- My advice is about what is right for your budget and your people, not what earns me a referral fee.
Do we need to buy new software? +
No. The training works with the AI tools your team already has.
Can we do the AI training without the mindfulness, or the other way round? +
Yes. AI + Mindfulness (12 weeks) is the programme I recommend and price on this page. AI Training Only or Mindfulness Training Only (8 weeks each) is available on request.
How long does it take? +
8 weeks for a single track, 12 weeks for AI + Mindfulness. Every session runs live online, so your people can join from wherever they work.
Is the programme right for every team? +
Not always, and I'd rather say so up front. Before I take on a team I check three things:
- your staff can reach an EAP or other counselling
- taking part is each person's choice
- the daily practice is protected on work time.
The AI half is training. The mindfulness half is a personal journey that can change how people work and feel, so it only works for people who choose it.
How is our data handled? +
A person checks every AI output before it is used, and the training covers what should never go into a public AI tool. I'm independent, so I gain nothing from moving your data onto any platform.
Bringing this to your team?
I take on a small number of teams, so it starts with a short video call to see whether the programme fits your people. If it doesn't, I'll say so.
