ABOUT
Creating Healthier, More Restorative Workplaces Through A Whole-Workplace Approach
OUR APPROACH
Workplace wellbeing is often approached through individual initiatives, yet the physical environment, working practices, leadership and opportunities for recovery can also shape people's everyday experience.
What Makes Our Approach Different?
━━━
We Start With The Workplace
We seek first to understand what is happening.
━━━
We Look At The Whole Picture
The interaction between the environment, working practices, people and leadership, and individual wellbeing approaches.
━━━
We Use Evidence Thoughtfully
We distinguish between established evidence, emerging evidence and areas where more research is needed.
━━━
We Focus On Practical Action
Where appropriate, we help organisations translate findings into realistic priorities and improvements.
Our Founder
Natura Sanctuary was founded by Nella Gilbert, whose professional interest in wellbeing developed from more than 15 years of personal meditation practice and professional training in mindfulness.
With a background in teaching and training, including a PGCE, Nella has developed and delivered wellbeing and mindfulness-based learning and has a particular interest in the relationship between people, environment and inner experience.
This developed into a wider professional question:
What happens when workplace wellbeing considers not only the individual, but also the conditions in which people work?
That question sits at the heart of Natura Sanctuary.
Our Purpose
"To help organisations create workplaces that support healthier, more restorative and sustainable ways of working."
