The Centre for Positive Change has been making waves in the wellbeing world with a recent feature in Fife's leading news outlet, The Courier.
One of our founders, Scott, has been shortlisted for a major national award through Health & Wellbeing Magazine; Scott is a published writer/blogger and broadcaster and has been featured on multiple news platforms and media outlets worldwide.
A state-of-the-art sound therapy developed in Dysart using silent disco technology could help people in Fife feel less stressed and better manage chronic pain.

Scott Hutchison-McDade, from Dysart-based Positive Change Yoga, joined dozens of other peaceful demonstrators at Charing Cross on Saturday night for an 11-hour outdoor stint as part of Buddhist Action Month (BAM). Yoga teacher Scott, who is a former student of Zenways, said he hoped the charity all-nighter would help raise awareness of the plight of homeless people.

We live in a world where we’re often told to hide how we feel, hide our emotions and put on a brave face. Thankfully, times are changing but the stigma of mental health is still present.

“The majority of people feel that finding peace is something out with their reach and reserved for yogis and hippies that are stereotypically disconnected from the real world and living on the fringes of society. I have spent many years chasing peace, searching for external factors to help me find my internal calmness.”
