why this program

Many studies are now available that show the current wellness and assistance programs have poor results on health and economic outcomes. In fact, a recent study in JAMA revealed that "... there were no significant effects on clinical measures of health, health care spending and utilization, or employment outcomes after 18 months."

​

Our program is different from Wellness or Assistance ​programs. We offer on-site and in-person training programs where healthcare workers can support each other during and after the program and our focus is on the whole person. This program encompasses mindfulness, stress and anxiety reduction, physical activity and healthy eating. 

​

After completing the one day seminar, participants are placed in a peer support group comprised of their co-workers. These support groups allow participants to continue the work of the program long after the seminar is over.

​

We  believe and many studies have shown that programs offering support systems afterwards have a much higher rate of success and are actually able to shift the culture to value self-care.

Current wellness programs shortfalls

Wellness programs generally focus on modifiable risk factors of disease, such as nutrition, physical activity, and smoking cessation and lack any type of emotional support, mindfulness or stress reducing activities.

What to expect

This one-day immersion seminar is 7.5 hours in length with a 45 minute lunch break.

Meditation: During this section, we will offer simple, practical and effective guided meditations throughout the day. Individuals will leave this seminar with a whole new appreciation for meditation and how it can change the mood of your entire day.

​

Nutrition: One of my biggest challenges working a 12 hour shift, was how to plan and eat healthy. We will get creative and help you figure out a healthy personal eating plan that works for you.  

​

Alternative Health: Ever wondered what acupuncture is and how it works? We'll discuss the how's and why's as well as give you a chance to discover it firsthand. You'll be treated to a relaxation mini treatment at the conclusion of the discussion.
