Corporate Wellbeing

Online and in-person classes, workshops, and  courses to support the wellbeing of employees, whether working remotely or in the workplace.

Benefits for your employees:

​Mental health issues are now the leading cause of sick leave in the UK, accounting for 70 million sick days.

​

We’ve seen throughout the past years, particularly with the pandemic, how mental wellness has been significantly impacted and it's my mission to support people with the tools they need to build resilience and mental strength, so that they are able to thrive. 
 

Evidence shows that workplace Mindfulness based wellbeing programmes help employees to: 

​

  • Reduce emotional exhaustion, conflict and stress levels

  • Develop compassion and empathy

  • Improve focus, decision-making abilities and overall well-being

  • Increase resilience, self awareness and emotional intelligence

  • Improve communication and creativity 

  • Enhances the ability to balance work and home life and cope in stressful situations as they arise.
     

Research shows that when businesses invest in their employee’s mental health, they experience greater productivity, reduced absenteeism and increased overall happiness. 

Relaxation
“Mindfulness should no longer be considered a 'nice-to-have' for executives. It’s a “must-have: a way to keep our brains healthy, to support self-regulation and effective decision-making capabilities, and to protect ourselves from toxic stress."
 
- Harvard Business Review

Why work with The Kindfulness Effect

43a24c52-d6b1-4346-8165-4debc5e76a99_edi

I’m a passionate advocate of empowering people and my mission is to inform, inspire and empower people to lead happier, healthier and more conscious, connected and fulfilling lives, through mindfulness,  kindness and gratitude. 

​

Having spent 15 years within various management roles of a blue chip organisation and then more recently as an English teacher in a busy language school - I know and have experienced many of the challenges employees, employers and students face with regard to wellbeing and engagement. My background in corporate management and education allows me to better understand, cater for and develop materials for the organisations I work with.

​

With this background and as a long-term meditator, I truly understand the benefits that a comprehensive wellbeing programme or course can bring to all businesses or establishments, whatever the size or type.  
 

As a fully qualified mindfulness, meditation and yoga teacher, as well as a mindfulness based coach, I write and deliver wellbeing workshops, yoga, meditation and mindful movement classes and I am also qualified to teach the internationally recognised 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course, which has helped thousands of people improve their wellbeing worldwide. 

​

Most recently I have worked with Allianz, ASOS, McCann Media Group, EC Language schools & Thornton & Ross, providing packages of wellbeing workshops and yoga and meditation classes and have received exceptional employee and employer feedback from these organisations.

Happy Clients

"Melissa from the Kindfulness Effect, provided Thornton & Ross with a valuable portfolio of bespoke mental wellness workshops, while also running regular meditation and yoga sessions. Melissa worked closely with the business for 9 months, and tailored her sessions based upon employee feedback and surveys. Even under some tight deadlines, Melissa was able to pull together engaging and interactive workshops that were delivered to large groups virtually. Her expertise as a Mindfulness coach and meditation teacher brough both a sense of calm and norm, during the turbulence of the pandemic. From us all, thank you!"

Yoga 

60 minutes

​

Yoga has physical, emotional and mental benefits. Practising physical yoga is a fantastic way to wake up the brain and body or to unwind and release constricted muscles after sitting at a desk all day. I offer live yoga classes to suit all levels, as well as a 30minute gentle movement and stretching class.

​

Practising meditation has been proven to improve both mental and physical health through: reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus, mindset and morale and creating a greater sense of balance. Meditations are guided and are beneficial & accessible for everyone.

Workshop
Mindful Movement

This gentle movement and stretching class relieves tension and calms the mind. Sessions are less challenging than yoga and ideal for anyone sat or stood in one position for long periods.

The classes require no special equipment or clothing. Suitable and beneficial for everyone and can be done seated or standing.
