To help young and old take a stand against the overuse of the technology and live a full, and happy life, the TechnoLife Wise Foundation was established in 2017. It aims to raise awareness around, and empower people of all ages to say NO to screen and internet addiction, and YES to experiences in real life with all our senses and whole beings. These experiences enhance natural learning and development to optimise our unique and unlimited potential, while enjoying real life!

Dr. Marlena Kruger, founder of the non-profit organisation, became aware of how internet and social media addiction can destroy lives during her tenure as a tertiary educator and at the height of technology adoption in lecture rooms. In fact, she herself experienced the damaging impact of the overuse of technology on her physical, and mental health. It prompted her to study the detrimental effects that technology has on our mind, body and spirit – from toddlers to adults. Her research includes learning and neurological disorders such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS), and its associated mental, physical and spiritual health. She uses different modalities to first assess and then address the negative effects with neuro-integrative therapy to achieve ongoing Digital Wellness and Wellbeing.
