Accredited Wellness & Mindfulness Coach Sam Weerasinghe - Founder of SamMantra
Invest in sustainable skills for your team with a mindful based stress reduction course, or a series of mindfulness wellbeing workshops to help reduce feelings of stress and create a happier, healthy workforce.
Each session has been designed to promote the development of mindfulness and awareness skills to bring lasting changes to individuals and your organisation’s culture.
These changes can range from:
• Finding a sense of calm during stressful or challenging situations.
• An increase in engagement and satisfaction with work
• Improvements to interpersonal & communication skills
• Cultivating resilience to help with low-moods & low self-esteem amongst employees
• Ability to stay focused on a task without the mind becoming distracted.
Mindfulness Training In The Workplace ‘If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things – that's when your intuition & creativity starts to blossom.’ Steve Jobs (Co-Founder of Apple & Visionary)
‘Ditton HR are delighted to be working in partnership with SamMantra to offer clients Mindfulness & Stress Reduction training for employees.’ Claire Watt (Director - Ditton HR)
Why commit to a mindfulness stress reduction course in the workplace?
• Mindfulness can help to start important conversations in the workplace on how employees manage stress. We know that some amount of stress is good to help motivate us, but too much can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health - that’s where mindful awareness skills can help.
• Neuroscience research has shown that regular mindfulness practice can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other health conditions caused by long term mental strain and worry.
• Employers will benefit from reduced health care costs and stress related absenteeism, as well as improvements in recruitment, retention and overall staff engagement at work.
• Attendees will come away with a tool kit of stress management strategies and simple mindful practices they can implement in their interactions at work and in their everyday lives.
‘Stress-reduction and mindfulness don't just make us happier and healthier, they're a proven competitive advantage for any business that wants one.’ Arianna Huffington (Co-Founder of Huffington Post & CEO of Thrive Global)

Throughout the course Sam was flexible with her timings, she creates a safe and nurturing environment, and her content, passion and delivery were excellent."
