Working with you to improve and maintain the wellbeing of your team.

Whether the impact (and isolation from colleagues) of COVID has hit your team or they are simply a little frazzled, our approach to workplace wellbeing is collaborative, adaptable, budget friendly and a little bit different.

From short, snappy online sessions that can work with challenging calendars to full day retreats including mindful paddleboarding and SUP yoga (with our award winning sister business: Wittering SUP) alongside our MBCT training we can curate a wellbeing package that will not just treat and resource your team but leave them with a new toolkit to improve everything from problem solving to  workplace relationships.

All our workshops, courses and experiences are evidence-based, accessible, non-secular, trauma-informed and compatible with all belief systems.

Just drop us an email or give us a call and we can discuss what would work best for you.

How can mindfulness help us in the workplace and our everyday lives?

MBCT is an evidence-based suite of tools we can learn, practice and develop that are proven to have a variety of quality of life-enhancing benefits, including:

Stress Reduction: Numerous studies have shown that mindfulness practices can effectively reduce stress levels, offering individuals a valuable tool to manage daily stressors.

Improved Mental Health: Research suggests that mindfulness-based interventions can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and enhance overall psychological well-being. The latest research suggests that a consistent mindfulness practice is at least as effective as anti-depressant medication.

Enhanced Focus and Concentration: Regular mindfulness practice has been linked to improved attention and concentration, which can be beneficial for work and daily tasks.

Better Emotional Regulation: Mindfulness can help individuals better understand and manage their emotions, leading to more effective emotional regulation and response to challenging situations, responding skilfully rather than reacting unskilfully. 

Pain Management: Some studies have found that mindfulness techniques can be effective in pain management, offering relief for chronic pain conditions.

Enhanced Relationships: Mindfulness practices may lead to improved interpersonal relationships by fostering better communication and empathy.

Improved Sleep Quality: Individuals who engage in mindfulness meditation often report improved sleep quality and better sleep patterns. Sleep is the cornerstone of a healthy body and mind so this is significant.

Coping with Addiction: Mindfulness-based interventions have shown promise in helping individuals cope with addiction and substance abuse issues.

Boosted Overall Well-Being: Practicing mindfulness is associated with an increased sense of overall well-being, life satisfaction, and a positive outlook on life.

Neuroplasticity: Emerging research suggests that mindfulness can change the brain's structure and function, promoting neuroplasticity and cognitive improvements.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of mindfulness-based practices may vary from person to person, and outcomes can depend on the consistency and commitment to the practice but what we do know is that mindfulness-based practices are backed by compelling scientific evidence and the research is only just beginning.

Wittering Wellbeing is here to help you prioritise wellbeing in your workplace, leading to a happier, more successful environment.
