Our Story
Bringing Chronobiology Research into the Modern Workplace
About Us
Our journey began in 2021 when Elaine and Renske met. United by a shared passion for helping people live more intentionally, we developed Intentional Life Design—a framework that honoured both purpose and life's natural rhythms. This personal quest for balance evolved into verða, where we now apply science-backed chronobiology to help people align their work with their energy cycles. What started as our own search for meaningful living has become our mission: creating workplaces where people feel and perform better, driving measurable improvements in retention, wellbeing, and business outcomes.
