About us

Person with arms in air

We understand it’s important for you to know who and what Bearmore is.

We promise to keep this simple and direct – more of a gentle nod from across the room rather than a mosquito biting at your ankles.

Bearmore is a set of free tools, resources and an app coming soon, that guide an effective approach to wellness.

Our approach is underpinned by three core beliefs:

Person laughing
01

The happier and healthier you are, the better life is and the more of life's inevitable challenges you can bear.

Person stretching
02

If you want to be happier or healthier, spend time doing things that have been legitimately evidenced to be good for your own physical and mental health.

There’s no recipe for #2 that fits everyone all of the time. Knowing how to adapt your routine when it’s needed is a superpower in the long game.

Bearmore cuts through the noise of the wellness industry to get to what really matters - you. Giving you what you need today, clear pathways to living a happier and healthier life.

How does this relate to you and why should you care?

💥

Life deals you another blow.

You pick yourself up and lick your wounds but you don’t feel quite right. You know deep down you could be happier.

😕

You find some time but the options are overwhelming.

You finally find some time and motivation to work on this but there are just so many options out there promising the world.

You invest hours in research.

Swerving supplement salespeople, luxury “retreats,” and expensive coaches, you make a decision on something like meditation. Damn! There is so much content on how to do it.

📱

You end up buying an app or two.

Turns out the actual experience is useless because it's full of words and concepts you don't understand.

🤷

You start but don’t know if it’s working.

(If you don’t give up straight away) you will start practising. Problem is, you have no idea if it’s actually helping, if you’re doing it right or why you still don’t feel right.

🪫

Your enthusiasm wanes.

...and your practice gradually fades away, until you’re not doing any of it anymore.

😖

You give up and brace for the next blow.

It can get a bit (more than a bit!) disheartening. We know that sucks because we've been there.

So how are we solving it?

What’s with the name, ‘Bearmore’?

To bear more is to endure; to be strong and grow stronger in response to a challenge or difficulty, tapping into resilience, confidence, mental and physical strength. These are highly valuable traits because they help us better enjoy life.

The name Bearmore reminds us that resilience and growth bring rewards. Those rewards provide us with a more stable footing during tough times and also pave the way for a richer and more fulfilling life. Bearmore so you can be more.

And bears? Well, bears are strong, curious, powerful and intelligent. Definitely qualities to admire and aspire to. They’re also pretty cool animals.

And who’s behind Bearmore?

Aulay

Aulay is his name.

He has a proven track record of being curious, relentlessly challenging questionable information, and identifying the real problems at hand. He then methodically works towards finding practical solutions. This approach, combined with his strong will, consistently leads to reliable and trustworthy outcomes.

He thinks in frameworks, loves to build software, and has a backstory filled with entrepreneurial highlights. A clear instinct for creative problem-solving is present in every phase of business. That backstory also includes his own personal experience of “wellbeing whack-a-mole.”

So, in 2022, when the sale of his tech business, which he had spent 13 years ‘all-in’ on, culminated, he turned his mind towards resetting his own health.

It turns out taking that time off was well spent because he got his ever-curious, truth-seeking head into how to ‘program’ being healthy and well, exploring what was on offer to help him get there. That led to diving into the nitty-gritty of the wellness world—and that led to Bearmore!

He has built an awesome team of engineers, academics, mindfulness coaches, and many other talented people with their own life experiences who are all working with him to bring Bearmore to life.

If you are wondering where to go now, you are welcome to explore Bearmore. Find something fun to try in the Activity Hub, see what activities are best for your with the Wellness Problem Solver or, get hints & tips on your current routine with the Wellness Routine Evaluator. Enjoy!
