Workplace Wellness

Please note: corporate programs are offered to businesses in the Victoria area, and by request available in other areas of Vancouver Island.

Girl guide cookies, birthday cakes, doughnuts, the vending machine… the intentions are usually good, but these same good intentions can easily urge your employees off the pathway of healthy eating.

On top of that, the fast pace and high demands in most workplaces creates an ideal venue for forming poor dietary habits…

• Skipping meals
• Grabbing take out and fast food
• Drinking excessive amounts of coffee
• Eating when rushed and stressed out

Sound familiar? Of course it does!

You’ve seen the result of these habits: fatigue, poor concentration, low productivity, and indigestion to name a few. Poor dietary habits can also aggravate or cause chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, weight gain and high cholesterol.

Sounds like a recipe for increased sick days!

What can be done?

Fortunately, good habits are as contagious as bad habits. When we feel great we tend to be more positive and resilient – and we certainly need this during our workday.

That’s what I am here for: helping build good dietary habits.

My Workplace Wellness programs are designed for employers who want to get the most out of their staff by supporting positive dietary change. Delivered in bite-sized “lunch and learns”, these convenient, typically 30-minute long classes focus on improving dietary habits in the workplace.

This corporate program includes...

• Approximately 30-minute session at your workplace (perfect for the lunch hour!)
• The latest nutrition information on the topic of your choice
• Handouts and recipes
• A tasty treat or two

Choose from the following tasty topics:

• “Ask For Immunity – Increasing workplace resilience to disease with nutrition”
• “Stress, It’s An Inside Job”
• “Eating Healthy On The Go”
