An inclusive approach to wellbeing

Our courses are fully inclusive for all age groups and all levels of the organization. They are designed to support and educate teams, managers and individuals who are looking for better ways to perform in the corporate world. 

The benefits include:

  • Better stress management

  • Higher energy levels

  • Improved productivity

  • Heightened self-awareness

  • Enhanced focus

  • I joined Nana’s Stress and Anxiety Relief class and found it to be very calming in the moment, but also very useful knowledge to carry with me and put into practice outside of the classroom. I was grateful to Nana for not just saying “breathe in, breathe out” but actually explaining why these breathing techniques work in relation to the types of anxieties and stress we generate. I came into this class wanting to empower myself with a better understanding of how to manage my breathing in preparation for giving birth, but you could see in the class how these techniques spoke to each individual’s needs in so many other ways as well.

  • I was only able to join Improve Quality of Sleep, it was a great session. Nana’s presentation was short and sweet, very easy to understand and helpful. The exercise in the second half was really easy to follow and relaxing.

  • I attended the Stress and Anxiety Relief and Improve Quality of Sleep sessions. Nana is super knowledgeable and breaks down complex concepts into layman terms that make it seem super easy to understand. I really enjoyed learning about the deep breathing techniques, effects of Caffeine/alcohol on sleep and vagus nerve stimulation breathing. I am working to apply this in my day to day. Look forward to attending more of her sessions.
