Professional Workshops
We offer a wide range of workplace wellness workshops and seminars and can combine them for more benefits in your workplace.
Many pressures and demands of today’s workplace can cause a range of physical and emotional illnesses. Providing self-care tools and reducing stress in the workplace means your employees will be more satisfied and feel more positive about your organization. In this highly interactive and dynamic workshop, participants will learn the best practical tips and tools to reduce stress and develop a personal action plan that leads to positive outcomes.
Balancing work and life in the 21st century is no easy task. The cost of poor work-life balance is high for both an individual and his employer. We provide a myriad of effective strategies through interactive workshops and classes to improve your employees’ wellbeing and increase productivity, job satisfaction and morale. Our goal is to help individuals feel more in control and fit in all of life’s obligations, while still finding time to do the things they enjoy.
Many research studies have shown that well-rested employees are productive, efficient, and happier members of your team and society. This program is informative, engaging, and will leave your team or group of employees with a “toolbox” of skills to reduce and prevent ongoing struggles with sleep. Click here to learn more how simple and effective behavior-change techniques can help your employees get quality sleep, be more focused and engaged, and increase their performance levels.
The growth of mindfulness has been the most revolutionary development in meditation in the Western world. Many leading companies in the U.S. embraced corporate meditation classes and mindfulness trainings to reduce stress, develop a calm mind, heighten awareness, and increase focus and productivity of their employees. Our Meditation and Mindfulness class series introduces new skills, tools and techniques for better stress management, resiliency and empowered wellbeing.
Researchers have discovered that the practice of self-compassion is associated with a multitude of benefits, such as greater life satisfaction, increased happiness, improved relationships, decreased depression and anxiety, and greater resilience. This course will expose you to the latest neuro-scientific insights on self-compassion and provide simple tools that can help you apply these concepts in a practical manner throughout your daily life.
Burnout? Compassion Fatigue? Lack of Focus? As stress and pressures mounts, without regular self-care to offer relief and relaxation, the likelihood is that if left unabated it will lead to burnout, which can have serious physical, mental, and emotional consequences for any mental health professional. Our goal is to offer mental health organizations and practitioners a new revolutionary approach to self-care that will transform the lives of clinicians and those they serve.
