Corporate Wellness
The recent pandemic has underscored the critical importance of self-care and maintaining both physical and mental health as essential components of a balanced life. The phenomenon of the ‘Great Recession’ and recent workplace well-being studies have emphasized the need for a holistic approach to health, balancing personal and professional life.
Health & Wellness Coaches, equipped with their expertise and tools, adopt a comprehensive approach to various issues, including nutrition, exercise, stress management, emotional health, and sleep improvement.
The alarming rise in chronic conditions and diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune disorders has driven people to consider lifestyle changes. While the digital age offers abundant information, it lacks the personalized guidance that a Health & Wellness Coach provides. After all, each individual’s health journey is unique.

Work - Life Balance
We often discuss work-life balance, but work is an integral part of our lives and frequently occupies much of our day. There are moments when you need to take a business call during family time or step away from work due to a family emergency.
Life encompasses everything. At work, you remain a parent, and with your family, you continue to be a professional. The ongoing effort to juggle personal life, financial uncertainties, work demands, and commuting can be a significant source of stress.
Statistics

Depression, anxiety, anger and somatization are the main findings.
