You’re busy and your people are too. There is pressure, there are timelines and there are lots of hours sitting.
That’s where our workplace wellness programs come in. We offer simple, turnkey ways for you to support the health (and happiness) of your employees — resulting in incredible, lasting payoffs such as decreased stress and anxiety, increased energy, higher productivity, and lower attrition.
All in a quickly-deployed, fun format that your team can actually get excited about.
Our offerings include, but aren’t limited to: a wellness hub (The HEAL Wellness Platform), lunch and learns or webinars, team-based wellness challenges, mental health training, resiliency building programs and nutrition, movement and mental health resources.
Whether you run a full-year wellness program or a one-off program with us, our customized, done-for-you wellness programs boost employee engagement, increase connection and morale, and reduce stress and mental health issues, all without adding more to your workload.
Our full-year wellness programs include a combination of access to our wellness hub - the HEAL Wellness Platform, team-based wellness challenges, webinars, lunch and learns, and weekly resources spanning mental health, nutrition and movement. Wellness programs only work if your employees use them, and our programs see 3x the engagement of a typical wellness program on average.
Every mental health-related short-term disability claim that can be averted as a result of a wellness initiative or workplace support saves on average $18,000.
Our team-based online wellness challenges are 4, 8 or 12 week programs where employees are challenged to create new habits relating to nutrition, movement and mental health. Using the HEAL Wellness Platform (our desktop and mobile app), users track their participation, check standings and receive rewards for participating. Our challenges are not only great for team building, but they are proven to reduce stress, improve mental health, increase engagement and make work a better place to be.

We’ve been told our lunch and learns and webinars are the best a company has ever offered - the room (or Zoom screen) will be full and it won’t only be the health nuts in the room; those who really need the help will want to attend too. We're available in person in Toronto and Vancouver for corporate wellness, and all over North America, virtually.
What's included in our lunch and learns:
Our most popular Lunch & Learn or Webinar topics include:
This is a 4-part lunch and learn series (available in-person in the Vancouver area or virtually everywhere else) led by a therapist, to dive deep into supporting employees’ mental health. Each session is one hour, including Q&A, and is done in a workshop style, with employee participation and real-life examples and exercises throughout.
We just completed the Wellness Challenge at our office. The daily tips and challenges in the program were educational and motivational and encouraged everyone to focus on their own health and well-being. The competitive aspect made it fun and engaging and held people accountable to make small behaviour changes in their lives for a big impact – reduced stress, healthier eating for more energy, and committing to more exercise and fitness. These changes will last beyond the challenge definitely contributing to a more positive work environment.
Our office hired Natalia for a lunch & learn session on boosting your energy. The talk created a lot of buzz around the office, which I felt was a great team-building opportunity. It also helped myself, and many others in the office, connect the dots between how what you eat has a direct impact on how you feel throughout the day. I now realize how much of an impact things like drinking more water or eating the right breakfast can have on my energy. It's safe to say I learnt things that, months later, I still think about and apply in the kitchen and I feel more healthy and energetic when I think about the foods I put in my body.
We have offered wellness challenges in our organization in the past, however the HEAL Challenge takes a wholistic approach to Wellness. We had high participation and engagement levels throughout the entire course of the challenge, with employees sad to see the challenge come to an end. The weekly themes focused on different pillars of health and wellness with a variety of daily and weekly challenges that kept our workforce engaged and motivated the whole way through. The daily emails provided not only a good reminder of the challenges, but also came equipped with resources and beneficial educational components to inform and educate our employees. This challenge was one of our most well received challenges to date with very positive behaviour changes as a result from those who participated!
Awesome challenge which my team on site truly enjoyed and where they were reinvigorated. I have decided that we are going to keep going to August 31st where they each have to set a goal to achieve for that date that must be challenging to them individually. Thank you for such a great challenge again!
We just had Mandy come in to speak with the Facebook team about how to eat for better energy. It was such a high impact discussion. Everyone got so much value from her knowledge and experience – and loved their swag bags! Her advice is immediately actionable, and people were very engaged by her presentation style – Mandy is approachable, a true expert, and has a genuine way of connecting with people. It took no effort on my end to organize the session and the delicious lunch – I would highly recommend this as an easy way to help your employees enhance their performance and overall wellness.
Mandy is delivering a series of health and wellness workshops for our employees. The first workshop “Eating for Energy” was so popular that we needed her to deliver the workshop three times to include everyone who wanted to attend! Mandy combines her in-depth knowledge as a nutritionist with a genuine passion for health and wellness to deliver engaging, action-oriented, impactful and fun workshops. The “water cooler” conversations here are now all about watching our sugar intake, choosing a healthy snack to avoid the afternoon energy slump and “what’s in your smoothie this morning?” The impact of Mandy’s workshops is so much more than we had anticipated. Even those who are highly in tune with their health and wellness come away with a golden nugget.
We worked with Mandy to hold a professional development workshop that would educate our staff on the impact of enhanced wellness on personal and professional performance; it was one of the most engaging sessions I've ever participated in. She leaves you feeling empowered to make adjustments in your routine for tangible results.
I have attended countless self-help presentations, learning fascinating facts about the impact various foods and daily exercise have on my health and well being. However, Mandy's Challenge is the first one that provided the whole package. Her engaging daily communications brought a holistic approach with inspirational challenges that made the entire process informative and fun. She provided meal plans, recipes, shopping lists, and strategies for achieving a work-life balance. I'm even sleeping better.
Have confidence knowing the lessons you helped instill in the crew are still happening on a daily basis, especially the water, step counts and smoothies!
Our organization has had Virgin Pulse in place for 2 years now, but we felt there were multiple gaps, which the HEAL program has filled nicely. The HEAL high-value prizes are second to none, but the personal touch is what our employees enjoy most. HEAL has a dedicated health & nutrition expert (not 1-800 support number) there to answer any questions we have. Each participant walks away from each week, and each year we do the HEAL challenge, having learned something new directly from Mandy or her team. For me, as a wellness champion at my organization, the proof is in the participation rates, which are over double for the HEAL program compared to Virgin Pulse.
