Company health management
People & Culture teams should promote health-promoting measures that impart knowledge, establish routines and help employees to live healthier lives.
As an IHK-certified specialist for occupational health management, I support companies in taking responsibility for the health of their employees.
New Work not only means flexible working, but also requires comprehensive concepts that go beyond fitness allowances.
Y.AVENA offers needs-oriented corporate wellbeing modules such as stress management, nutrition and mindfulness, which strengthen resilience, mindfulness and body awareness. This promotes trust, appreciation and personal development - for a healthy working relationship.
Health starts in the company
Healthy in the office.
More energy with the right lunch and fewer sick days thanks to a balanced diet, which makes a significant contribution to promoting the health of your employees.
Healthy Lunch Breaks
As part of company health management, your employees will learn how tasty and healthy their lunch can be. Healthy eating doesn't necessarily mean going without: my sessions are all about enjoyment and delicious inspiration for everyday life that can be easily implemented at home.
Mindful Breakfast Sessions
With shopping lists and recipes, participants gain a modern understanding of a healthy breakfast. The Y.AVENA Selfcare Days combine (dis)exciting meditation sessions with interactive food workshops and offer a special team event with healthy added value.

Relaxation | Yoga & Meditation
The effectiveness of yoga and meditation has been scientifically proven. As a certified yoga and meditation teacher, I have also observed the positive effects of movement in combination with breathing exercises many times during my work.
Possible relaxation elements of the Selfcare Days:
Gentle morning meditation
After work yoga classes
Exercises at the workplace for tense backs
Breathwork / breathing exercises in team or individual sessions
Relaxation trips to strengthen resilience
Participants experience how they can reduce stress with small changes and incorporate targeted exercises in the workplace. Employees' mindfulness and body awareness are strengthened.
No previous knowledge is required, the level of the sessions is adapted to the previous knowledge and needs of the participants.
Selfcare Days
A modern interpretation of classic health days
The Selfcare Days are a modern version of the Health Days and help companies to promote stress resilience and invest in the well-being of the team in order to be able to rely on a healthy working relationship in the long term.
At this one-day or multi-day event, employees experience the benefits of a healthy diet, exercise and mindfulness in a practical way and how to integrate these elements into their everyday lives.
The Federal Office of Public Health FOPH has summarized the numerous benefits for employers and employees resulting from the successful implementation of workplace health promotion here.
Mental health
Mental health is the key to holistic well-being and lasting satisfaction - both in your private and professional life.
In order to be able to rely on a healthy and productive working relationship in the long term, it is essential for companies to understand exactly how stress arises, what signs and symptoms of burnout can occur and how managers can actively and effectively support their employees.
This is the only way to create positive working conditions that promote motivation and health.
45% of Swiss women suffer - at least some of the time - from work-related stress. Mind-body interactions (MBI) such as yoga & meditation can change and reverse molecular reactions in our DNA that trigger stress, anxiety and depression*.
