Everything your team needs to manage stress
Each element of this workshop gives your employees practical, science-backed tools to recognise stress, regulate their response and build long-term resilience.
-
Movement Exercises to Manage Stress
Targeted physical techniques that directly counteract the body's stress response, reducing tension, lowering cortisol and restoring calm.
-
Mindset Exercises
Evidence-based cognitive tools to help staff reframe pressure, challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build a more resilient mindset at work.
-
Body Scan Mindfulness Exercise
A guided body scan practice that helps participants develop present-moment awareness and notice where stress is being held physically.
-
Introducing the Window of Tolerance
A powerful psychological framework that helps staff understand their own stress thresholds and learn practical strategies to stay within a healthy range.
-
Sensory Modulation for Stress
Sensory-based regulation techniques tailored specifically to stress management, helping staff self-regulate in real time, even during demanding workdays.
-
Well-being Journal
Each participant receives a Movement & Mindset well-being journal to record their stress triggers, track their progress and reinforce the tools covered in the session.
What we set out to achieve together
Each session is built around three clear goals — helping your team understand stress, move through it and leave with tools they can use straight away.
-
1
Facilitate discussion around current well-being practices rather than initiatives — reflecting on personal preferences and identifying areas for improvement that are needed across the team.
-
2
Conduct a movement-based exercise specifically aimed at reducing stress in the workplace — giving staff physical techniques to use in the moment.
-
3
Conduct a mindset-based exercise specifically aimed at reducing stress in the workplace — building lasting psychological tools for thriving under pressure, managing pressure, and resilience.
Why workplace stress can’t be ignored
Stress is one of the biggest threats to workforce performance and retention — and the numbers make the case for action.

Experienced, evidence-based and genuinely engaging
Our sessions aren't just presentations - they're experiences. Every workshop is designed to get people actively involved, drawing on the latest research in movement science, occupational therapy and behavioural psychology to create change that actually sticks.
Grounded in research
Every technique we use is drawn from peer-reviewed science, not trends. Movement science, occupational therapy and behavioural psychology inform everything we teach.
Experiential by design
We don't stand at the front and talk. Participants move, reflect, practise and engage throughout - because the best learning happens by doing, not by listening.
Targeted and measurable
Each tool we deliver has a specific, measurable purpose. Participants leave with clear actions, not vague advice, and organisations can see the outcomes.
Adapted to your room
No two sessions are identical. We read the energy and needs of each group and adjust our delivery accordingly, so it always feels relevant, not rehearsed.
Delivered by Steph Brumpton & Christie Alkin
What our clients say
“
“There were lots of sceptical staff members going in, but Steph and Christie delivered a fantastic day — engaging, practical and relevant to both work and our own lives. After the event, even those who'd voiced their reluctance beforehand came away praising it. Three weeks on, staff are still putting the techniques into practice. Thanks to Movement and Mindset, who I and all my staff highly recommend.”
