Corporate wellbeing for the modern world.
Productivity is important, but working in a constant state of pressure doesn’t
We live in a culture where almost everything has become optimised. Technology asks us to track, monitor, analyse and share everything, so there is always something to do, and everything feels like work. Over time, this affects how people operate, because they’re highly stressed and their nervous systems are disregulated.
This means decisions are reactive, ideas become safe, and problem-solving is limited. Not because people lack ability, but because they don’t have the space to think differently.
The way we think about wellbeing at work is changing, are you ready for change too?
The 2026 Global Wellness Trend Report reflects something we’ve been thinking about at Find A Creative Mind for a while. At number two, the report points to the collapse of the ‘over-optimisation’ era, as people move away from relentless productivity hacks towards more sustainable, human ways of working. At number three, it highlights the nervous system as a new frontier in wellness, with greater focus on regulating stress, building resilience and supporting emotional wellbeing.
For us, both point towards something simple: people need more space to slow down, reconnect and work in ways that feel genuinely human.

Thinks big picture.
Under pressure, thinking narrows and defaults to familiar patterns.
Creativity opens perspective, helping you see alternatives, reframe challenges, and find more effective solutions.

Decides intentionally.
High stress leads to impulsive decisions, or decision paralysis.
Creative thinking invites space to slow down, explore options, and make clearer, more considered choices with confidence.

Sees ideation as cyclical
Many people see creativity as constant output, overlooking the value of rest.
Creative thinking recognises that reflection and downtime are essential parts of the creative process.

Always innovates.
Disregulation makes people risk-averse and stuck in stagnant patterns.
Creativity encourages curiosity and openness, allowing new ideas to emerge and making change less intimidating.

Knows their limits.
With deadlines, people often push, believing the solution lies in more effort.
Creative thinking helps recognise when space is needed over effort, to allow ideas to emerge naturally.
I used to think that because I loved my job, I couldn’t burn out. Then one day, the ideas stopped flowing.
Creativity has always been a source of peace for me, and ideas always came naturally. But when I made it my career, over time, this shifted. After a decade of constant deadlines, and pressure to deliver, I felt there was little space for genuine exploration or original thinking, and I started to resent a career I’d worked so hard to create.
But I also became more curious about what was happening underneath this feeling. Why did I feel so overwhelmed, and why did this cause me to disconnect from my creative mind? I’m now training as a person-centred counsellor, which has helped me understand more about how people experience stress, and how this impacts their ability to think, and create. That’s why I created Find A Creative Mind.
On this journey, creativity has become my happy place again, but I’ve also come to realise how important pure creative thinking is, especially in the world of corporate productivity.
Why does this matter to you as an employer?
People want to work hard, and build a fulfilling career, but they feel disillusioned and overwhelmed.
There’s no need to share the stats around mental health, because its become a part of our culture that’s difficult to ignore. We are all aware of rising struggles around stress, burnout, and disconnection, and these challenges don’t exist separately from work. The way people feel directly impacts how they think, communicate, collaborate, and perform.
Supporting your team isn’t just about wellbeing initiatives, it’s about creating healthier, more sustainable ways of working. Because when people are more grounded, and connected, they don’t just feel better, they work better too.
Even small opportunities to slow down, and reconnect change this, both for the individual and for the wider culture of a business.
Retreat Case Study for London based B Corp Mobsta
They came to me asking for something different. Rather than focusing on strategy sessions or traditional team-building exercises, the intention was to create the conditions for people to slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and connect with each other outside of the usual pressures of work.
The feedback spoke for itself.
This 2 day experience combined yoga, hiking, sauna and cold plunge and a creative sound session (as well as healthy plant-based food). The group were mostly beginners at these activities, but they all reported feeling calmer and clearer after even this short time.
Ways to work with me
CORPORATE RETREATS
Immersive retreats designed to help teams step away from stress and deadlines. Less structure and goals, more freedom to explore and rest, means returning to work feeling revitalised, usually with new ideas.
MENTORING
Supports individuals who may be navigating pressure, transition, or complexity in their roles. These sessions provide a confidential space to think more clearly and move forward with a greater sense of grounding.
CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
Reflective space for whole teams, designed to help people recognise how pressure impacts the way they communicate and make decisions, and how they can support each other with more creativity.

as well as thinking creatively, I talk about our relationship with technology, menopause, neurodivergence & other things that come to mind when I walk in nature.
