Workplace Wellness

Is your workplace looking to promote health and wellness?

I have a background working in the community services and health sector with a particular focus on mental health and well being. I also have experience in leading not for profit organisations both in management and Board positions. My focus is on preventative mental health and well being. Bringing a level of equanimity to your organisation with practices to support mental calmness, composure and evenness of mind, especially at times of stress.

I can offer lunch time 30 minute yoga and/or meditation sessions or longer breakout sessions at your next team building or staff wellness day. I can also offer mindfulness practices to your leadership team that will support equanimity, assist with managing emotions, leading with physical presence, promote physical movement and compassion in your workplace.

If your workplace is looking to offer health and wellness sessions to employees I can offer the following:

• Yoga (including desk / chair yoga)
• Breath awareness and practices
• Gentle stretching and mindful movement
• Relaxation and progressive muscle relaxation
• Mindfulness meditation
• Stress management
• Easing back, neck pain and headaches

A University workplace research study has given a positive indication that the Dru Yoga and Meditation workplace programs are highly effective for improving well being and resilience to stress in the workplace. A randomised, controlled study found that employees who practiced Dru Yoga and Meditation techniques for six weeks reported feeling significantly:

• more confident in dealing with stress
• more energised
• more happy
• more clear-minded
• more agreeable
• more confident
• more composed
• more purpose and life satisfaction

…than the control group who did not practice. For more on the evidenced based research visit the Dru Yoga Research website page.
