Wellbeing Workshops.
I have been running workshops on wellbeing for over a decade now providing support, education, tips, and practical guidance across a wide range of areas including stress, sleep, posture, vitality, diet, exercise, communication and relationship skills, and more.
The aim of all my workshops is to educate, empower, and engage so that attendees leave the workshop with a clear action plan, knowing which of the tips and new knowledge they are going to implement first.
The background and recommendations in each workshop are evidence-based. My approach to wellbeing is based on understanding the key drivers of our health and emotional well-being and how to optimise both through education on our basic physiology and our psychological drivers. I provide bespoke practical suggestions and tips on how to incorporate and implement the key learning from the workshops into daily routines which create the best possible all-around wellness at work rest and play.
My workshops can be tailor-made to individual briefs both in terms of content and time length. They can be online or offline, with most clients preferring one-hour workshops. I offer 45-minute workshops and topline 30-minute workshops too.
I also offer a pre-course questionnaire with the one-hour sleep workshop and one-hour stress management workshops. These help gain insights into the company’s levels of sleep hygiene or stress levels with highlights presented as the introduction to the workshops. They also provide the perfect backdrop for the workshop and never fail to demonstrate the relevance and need for the workshop to the members of staff based on their collective results. I offer a deeper dive into holistic health and performance in my ½ day wellbeing workshop, as well as one-on-one support for employees within the company.

I guide how to implement change to optimise a sense of wellbeing and enhance overall health and productivity both inside and outside work.
Posture Workshop
I bring over 20 years’ experience as an Osteopath to my posture workshop. I begin by illustrating how the challenges of our modern sedentary/tech-based lifestyle compromises our posture and demonstrate how to correct this during the practical component of the session.
