Up until very recently my LinkedIn profile read:

Human Resources | 5+ Years Business Administration Experience | Part Time Yoga & Meditation Teacher

I have spent the last 5 years writing company policies, signing charters , obtaining various accreditations and certificates, getting on frameworks and tenders, joining all the different employer recognition schemes all on behalf of my ex-employer. The trend of them all was Mental Health, Workplace Stresses & Corporate Wellness, but as with all workplaces it can be very difficult to implement such plans and policies where there’s a lack of understanding and awareness.

In my space time, I ran a small Yoga and Meditation business offering daily yoga classes, as well as meditations, and wellness practices that promote a healthy lifestyle and personal growth for individuals. I found the main concern and cause of Stress, Anxiety, Confidence and various other Mental Health struggles was primarily from the workplace. I could personally relate to this, with heavy workloads, outdated practices & ideas, and little support or direction; so I decided to combine my passion for health, and wellness with my knowledge, experience and expertise in Corporate Policies to create The Weekly Wellness Co.

Focusing on the need to nourish & relax your mind & body while creating a place for everyone, I teach calming, tension relieving and energising classes that offer opportunities for reducing stress & anxiety, improving confidence, promoting a healthy work-life balance, and inducing physical and mental relaxation.

My professional wellness training consists of a 200 hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher Certification (200RYT), 40 hour Yin Yoga Certification, 25 hour Restorative Yoga certification and 200 hour Meditation alliance registered Meditation Teacher Training (200CMT).

In addition to my own training and knowledge, I work closely with a skilled team of trained Massage Therapists, Coaches & Practitioners to offer a range of services to ensure your Company provides the ultimate workplace wellness plan.

3. Employee Moral & Satisfaction - when you spend time and money implementing a corporate wellness programme you’re effectively telling your employees you care and that you’re willing to help them succeed.

4. Assists a Company Wellness & Mental Health Policy - in a world of Corporate Social Responsibility Policies and Workplace Wellbeing & Mental Health Charters it can be difficult to know where to begin, utilising my background & experience within Human Resources, Company Accreditation’s & Charters as well as my Wellness Certifications in Yoga & Meditation I can support your company in creating a robust and easy wellness practice to benefit both the employee and employer.

5. Reduction in workplace Stress, Anxiety & Depression by promoting mental & physical relaxation. The physical postures promote flexibility, relieve tension, and alleviate pain as well as assisting you to release physical blockages like muscle knots, helping release emotions and tension.

Don’t waste your time and money advertising, recruiting, training and implementing new strategies and personnel when you can save those costs and time by implementing a robust and simple wellness programme.
