Which Program is right for you?
Performance Wellness engagements typically begin with an employees’ need assessment:
Level I Training in Performance Wellness
The Wellness Inventory:
The Wellness Inventory is an interactive, whole person, wellness assessment designed to help individuals gain personal insight into their state of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness and to take more responsibility for their personal Health and Wellness. The program revolves around assessment in the 12 dimensions of wellness. The first dimension, Self-responsibility provides a foundation for wellness. The assessment is educational in nature and helps to create awareness of how one’s lifestyle attitudes and behavior influence one state of health and well-being. This online program focuses on areas your employees are most motivated to change and reflects the wellness needs of your employees. We then use data from the WI as a centerpiece to customize PW techniques to match the needs of your employees.

PW Soundbites – "Just in Time Wellness" – right when you need it, it’s there.
Clinically-proven guided wellness exercises with gorgeous acoustic background music designed to balance our natural ultradian rhythms which shift from a “doing” mode to a “being” mode every 90 minutes to 3 hours. Busy people in the course of their workday tend to skip the “being” mode, which can lead to over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system, causing stress and burnout. Just listening to the 5-10 minutes-long Soundbites once or twice a day at work can balance the brain hemispheres and autonomic nervous system to increase creativity, productivity, and joy in daily life. The PW Soundbites Program can be custom-designed to meet the specific wellness needs of your employees. Examples include:
Diaphragmatic Breathing 7:02 minutes – establishes the deep, rhythmic, abdominal breathing that is necessary when practicing any of the following exercises.
Progressive Relaxation 9:04 minutes – you will systematically tense and relax the major muscles groups of the body; retrains the body-mind to choose relaxation instead of tension when under stress
Healing Hands 3:51 minutes – this exercise relieves tension and strain in the hands, arms and shoulders due to overuse.
Bright Eyes 4:57 minutes – this exercise helps to relieve eye strain and increases circulation
