Welcome to our corporate packages section. We have designed the below packages to be a fun way to help de-stress staff members and encourage team spirit and creativity. Executive burnout, staff turnover, and absence are all huge costs which we hope to help reduce for our clients.

As active members of Surrey Chambers of Commerce, we have been able to discuss the current challenges facing large and small employers. Numerous companies now realise they need to assist their staff with health, well-being, and stress related issues.

One of our large blue chip corporate clients recently summed the situation up: “if we don’t offer staff relaxation sessions on our premises, employees go straight home, cook, work around the house and look after their kids, they never have an opportunity to relax, and stress builds up.”

In addition to relaxation events on your premises, we also offer team building days and weekends. These longer sessions are designed to give an extra boost to well-being, relaxation, team morale, and out of the box, blue sky thinking.

Please contact Gary and Olga with any questions; you can call our office on 01932 880 712 or send us an email at holistichealingtherapyuk@gmail.com. We are always happy to help!

All of the below packages are designed to be flexible; we can meet with you and discuss the most harmonious way to implement our services into your organisation.

Mindfulness

business meeting

Recent studies including an all parliamentary report are shedding new light on the benefits of mindfulness in the workplace. Numerous large companies and organisations now have an established Mindfulness programme. Studies in the UK and US have shown mindfulness can help improve productivity and efficiency, as well as help workplace health and wellbeing. We are happy to consult with your HR team and can design a mindfulness programme that suits your organisation’s requirements. We are also happy to add to any existing programmes.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practice of paying more attention to the present moment, which includes being more aware of one’s thoughts and feelings.

What are the business benefits of Mindfulness?

  • A more coherent and healthy sense of self and identity
  • Can help physical and mental health and wellbeing
  • Reduction in stress
  • Potential in improving working memory, executive function, and concentration

Prices start at £100 an hour for a group of 12 people or less. One off taster sessions are available. We also offer programmes of varying lengths to suit different needs.

Our programmes include everything needed to perform Mindfulness. Employees just need to turn up!

Please contact us for more information.

Sound Therapy

Our Sound Therapy events are a unique experience to share with your employees. Deeply relaxing and enjoyable, Sound Therapy is also known as sound bathing because the body becomes immersed in relaxing sound waves. Not only will you hear them, but you will feel them too! The lower frequency sound waves act in a similar way to deep tissue massage. We have run over 100 events of this type, and people love the experience – some report a lovely warm feeling surrounding them, others report a tingling and very relaxing feeling.

Like any experience, it is better to take part it in than read about it. We are happy to give onsite demonstrations to HR or management teams. Based on our past feedback, we predict these sessions will be very popular!

What is Sound Therapy?

Sound Therapy has been called “Noisy Meditation” by the Evening Standard. The reason for that is simple, in studies such as those undertaken at UCLA Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, it has been possible to measure brain activity – simply by listening to certain sound frequencies brainwave activity changes and can often mimic the same brain waves as those reached by long-term meditators.

What are the business benefits of Sound Therapy?

Sound Therapy can help release stress, anxiety, and muscle strain. It can aid concentration, sense of peace, clarity, self-reflection, confidence, creativity, and overall well-being. Improving employee well-being has been shown to reduce absence and sickness costs.

All participants need to do is lay down on a yoga mat with a cushion under the head and a blanket over them and relax. Sound therapy is an easy and accessible experience.

Prices start at £200 an hour for a group of 12 people or less. One off taster sessions are available. We also offer programmes of varying lengths to suit different needs.

Our programmes include everything needed to lay comfortably for a relaxing session. We will set your room up with yoga mats, blankets, cushions and eye masks. Employees just need to turn up!

Please contact us for more information.

Yoga

Scientific studies are shedding new light on the benefits of yoga in the workplace. Numerous large companies and organisations now run yoga classes for employees, and schools are rapidly embracing yoga and reporting positive results. Our yoga classes can be run alongside our Mindfulness and/or Sound Therapy sessions. We are happy to consult with your HR team and can design a yoga programme to suits your organisation’s requirements.

What is yoga?
Yoga is a group of exercises (physical, breathing, and mindfulness) to help improve general health and wellbeing, promote a sense of peace and relaxation, as well as improve cognitive skills and general performance.

What are the business benefits of Yoga?

Yoga can aid productivity and efficiency gains, as well as assist general health and wellbeing at the workplace. It has also been shown to decrease absence rates. Yoga’s ability to improve cognitive functioning can lead to improved management skills thanks to less emotional driven decision making and increased big picture thinking. It has also been demonstrated to improve social skills leading to better team harmony, communication, and effectiveness. These all add up to improvements in a companies bottom line.

Prices start at £100 an hour for a group of 12 people or less. One off taster sessions are available. We also offer programmes of varying lengths to suit different needs.

Please contact us for more information.

Team Building Days

Our team building days focus on Forest Bathing & Nature Therapy. These are unique events based on cutting edge science from Japan and South Korea. Forget contrived challenges to bring a team together – think more of your team relaxing and opening up in beautiful natural settings conducive to relaxed states of mind.

These events combine various exercises to expand our senses. We encourage sharing after each exercise, during these events groups of people can discover a lot about themselves and the people they work with. People can gel once they relax – you may find our sessions help your team to overcome issues and build deep and meaningful personal relationships with their co-workers.

What is Nature Therapy?

Nature therapy, as defined and practiced by Holistic Healing Therapy, is a type of therapy involving spending time in nature to promote health and well-being. Our Nature Therapy combines different types of therapies and exercises, including mindfulness. Think of it as a sensory experience rather than an intellectual analysis. Nature Therapy was inspired by a Japanese concept called Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing), which is currently widely practiced for its therapeutic properties in the USA, Japan, and South Korea. Shinrin-yoku is an accepted part of the national health service in Japan with 48 scientifically approved forests used to boost the immune system.

How can Nature Therapy help your business?

Nature Therapy has been shown to help improve health, wellbeing and creativity, as well as reduce stress. These improvements can lead to increased productivity and performance, as well as have a noticeable impact on a business’s bottom line. The improvement to the bottom line comes in part from increased savings on absence, as well as more mental clarity and a more efficient use of time. Nature Therapy forms the core of our team building packages; part of our work encourages open and relaxed communication between colleagues.

Price

We are flexible on the duration of these events, for the best experience, we recommend allowing at least 4 hours. We offer discounted rates for larger groups.

We also combine an educational aspect to self-empower people, after spending a weekend with us, staff members will have some useful and straightforward tools to use on a daily and weekly basis to help balance the stress modern life throws at them.

How can Team Building Weekends help your business?

Team Building Weekends offer enhanced benefits. Based on Japanese hard science; there is a measurable wellbeing boost from spending 48 hours or more in a forest environment. By combining our other relaxation sessions with a forest environment, we anticipate your staff will notice far greater benefits. We can provide a presentation covering these areas in far greater detail.

Nature Therapy and our other services have been shown to help improve health, well-being, and creativity, as well as reduce stress. These improvements can lead to increased productivity and performance, as well as have a noticeable impact on a business’s bottom line. The improvement to the bottom line comes in part from increased savings on absence, as well as more mental clarity and a more efficient use of time. Nature Therapy forms the core of our team building packages; part of our work also encourages open and relaxed communication between colleagues. Improved communication can lead to increased team morale and closer cooperation.
