How We Work

Through observation, interaction and discussion, online or in person, we assess postural and ergonomic issues and a range of workplace environmental issues. Through simple daily movements and actions, we explore and establish parameters for understanding the causes of sensations, including pain and discomfort. Participants learn to ease tension and unlock habits of body and mind. We set new and achievable ways to feel better, and literally live better. 

Participants learn to take care of themselves, preventing and mitigating the causes of pain and discomfort, lessening the need for expensive, time consuming medical interactions.

 

Our work helps teams strengthen community connections through improved communications. We interact better with each other when we listen quietly and consider our reactions, free of physical tension, and through balanced, calmer minds.

Meetings with clients are in groups of any size, including one-to-one sessions and larger-scale webinars. Whether in person or online, sessions are dynamic, interactive and transformative.
