Performance and Wellness Workshops

Sessions your people will actually
use on Monday morning

Four workshops built on the DRESS for Health Success framework: diet, rest, exercise, stress management, and supplements. Each one is practical, science-led, and written for people running demanding roles. Delivered online or in person.

The Framework

Five levers, one system

Every session draws on the same five areas, so a program built from several workshops reinforces itself rather than pulling in different directions.

D

Diet

What to eat, what to leave, and why the answer is not another elimination plan.

R

Rest

Sleep quality, recovery, and the difference between rest and stopping.

E

Exercise

Movement that supports a demanding schedule instead of competing with it.

S

Stress Management

The nervous system underneath performance, and the practical levers on it.

S

Supplements

The basics worth knowing, and how to read the market without being sold to.

The Catalogue

Four sessions to choose from

Run one as a standalone, or sequence several as the delivery layer of a wider program.

Session One

Become the CEO of Your Health

How to take ownership of your health outcomes through the five foundations that hold everything else up.

What we cover
  • The foundations of good health, and how they interact
  • Diet: what to enjoy and what to leave
  • Rest: the sleep practices that make the biggest difference
  • Exercise: why less can achieve more
  • Stress reduction: the single most effective state-shifter
  • Supplements: the basics worth understanding
Session Two

The Biology of Resilience

We tend to assume we can willpower our way through pressure. If the biology is not right, the psychology will not be either. Get the body right and the brain follows.

What we cover
  • The biology of stress, including the body's enteric nervous system
  • The psychology underpinning resilience
  • Practical strategies for managing a demanding corporate schedule
Session Three

Reset and Renew

For high performers who have hit their goals and found that the achievement did not deliver what it promised. A session about doing less to get more, without losing momentum.

What we cover
  • Why relentless output eventually costs more than it returns
  • How to be, rather than only do, without losing drive
  • The biology underneath motivation and burnout
  • Building a clear roadmap for what comes next, health included
Session Four

Sleep Better, Stress Less

Sleep is the most underrated pillar of health, and the first thing a demanding schedule takes. Good sleep is more than eight hours in bed, and this session covers what actually drives it.

What we cover
  • How the brain, nervous system, and circadian rhythms work together
  • The three Rs: rest, recovery, and relaxation, and what each one does
  • How sleep quality affects hormones, immunity, metabolism, memory, and mood
  • Practical ways to recover when you are short on sleep
Practicalities

How sessions run

Delivery

Online or in person, depending on your location, format, and budget.

Format

Traditional presentation for larger audiences, or a group coaching format for smaller teams where discussion matters more.

Getting started

Sessions follow an initial consultation, so the content is shaped around your population rather than delivered off the shelf.

Attendee Feedback

What people say after the session

Best wellbeing talk I have attended so far.

Session attendee

Excellent and very insightful. Raewyn is clearly passionate about what she does and the science behind it is fascinating.

Session attendee

Very personable presenter who was hugely fluent in her subject. Plenty of good tips. I wish the session could have been longer.
