Let's talk about how I can help you and your team find balance in mind and body. Start the ConversationAddressing Physical and Mental Stress in the Workplace
You and your team work hard. You sit or stand or run around all day and likely experience some level of stress, even if you love your job.
Whatever you do, doing the same thing over and over for days, weeks, months on end can harm your body and affect your health and well-being.
Improving physical and mental wellness in the workplace can increase employee productivity, morale, and loyalty, and can reduce sick days and demands on health benefit plans.

How Balance At Work Can Help
Educational Presentations
Embrace the power of knowledge
Understanding how stress and inactivity affect our health can be a powerful motivator. Presentations are typically 1 hour — perfect for a lunch-and-learn — but can be modified to suit your needs.
Workplace Yoga Sessions
Find relief from workplace stress and repetitive (in)activity
30-90-minute yoga tailored to suit your needs, schedule, and budget. Anyone can benefit from my gentle series that provides a full-body stretch and strengthen, relieves stress, and leaves you feeling relaxed and energized. In your workplace or in my conveniently located downtown Peterborough practice space.
Practical Workshops
Take care of yourself throughout the day
A perfect agenda item for an all-day meeting.
- Healthy Movement (e.g., Desk Stretches)
- Mindfulness & Meditation
- Stress Management Techniques
Typically 90 minutes long but can range from a 15-minute guided stretch or meditation session to a 2-hour workshop.
Long-term Programming
Putting it all together in a customized plan
Let me work with you and your team for several weeks or months to create and maintain healthy habits that will benefit everyone in the workplace.
Create a Healthy Work Environment
Increased Productivity & Healthy EmployeesWhy Balance At Work?
I sat at a desk for almost 20 years as a full-time university student and government employee. I know exactly how it feels and how it affects your body, and I’ve developed a yoga series that targets the areas in your body that suffer from prolonged sitting. I also bring a calm, encouraging manner to my sessions, which makes even newcomers to yoga feel safe and comfortable. Here’s what previous workplace wellness clients have had to say about my services.
Would you recommend a presentation or a workshop for my team?
The main distinction between a presentation and a workshop is that the presentations focus more on the “why” side of the topic with a brief introduction to the “how,” whereas the workshops are all about “how”… how to relief stress; how to move throughout the day. If time and budget permit, a presentation followed by a workshop offers the complete picture.
But we don’t sit all day in our workplace…
Sitting, standing, or moving all day can all take their toll on your body. I’ve taught almost 1,000 yoga classes and led several workshops over the past 3 years and can easily develop a workshop or session tailored to meet the demands of your line of work.
Ready to bring this into your workplace?

How many people can attend a session?
The only limit is how many can fit into the space you have.
How much does it cost?
The cost of my services is based on several factors, including the type and duration of service, how many people are involved, and location. I can also develop custom-tailored talks, retreats, and workshops. I would be happy to help find a solution that works.
