Wellness & stress management

A wellness day they
actually feel.

Most wellness days are forgotten by Friday. This facilitated experience gives people a chance to pause, move, laugh, reconnect and leave with practical tools.

Quick answer

What is a corporate wellness workshop?

A corporate wellness workshop is a facilitated session, run during the working day, that gives a team a structured chance to step out of pressure, do something restorative together and leave with tools they can use again. Laughter Coaching runs these for organisations in Johannesburg, across Gauteng, onsite anywhere in South Africa and online. Sessions run from a twenty-minute energiser to a full wellness day, and use guided laughter, breath, gentle movement and connection rather than a slide deck. No one has to tell a joke, perform, or share anything personal, which is what makes them workable for mixed teams and for senior leadership in the same room.

Who this is for

Built for the people who carry the wellbeing brief.

Most enquiries come from someone who has been asked to do something real about how the team is coping, and who has a date, a room and a budget to justify.

HR, People & Culture

You need a wellness day that people actually turn up to, that works for a mixed group, and that you can report on afterwards without overclaiming.

Employee wellbeing and EX

You are running Mental Health Month, Women's Day or a wellbeing week and you want one anchor session people remember, not another webinar.

Learning & Development, leadership

You have a team that is technically fine and humanly flat. You want connection restored before the next stretch of work, not a team-building day people dread.

What it addresses

The problems people bring us.

People are not broken, they are carrying too much. These are the situations a session is usually booked for.

A team running on empty

Sustained pressure, restructures, or a long delivery push. Everyone is still functioning and nobody has any slack left.

A room that has stopped talking

Hybrid working, a merger, or teams that only meet on calls. The work gets done and the relationships have thinned out.

A wellness programme nobody engages with

The EAP exists, the newsletters go out, and attendance is poor. People need an experience, not more information.

How the session works

The Felt Shift Method™

Every session follows the same four movements, adjusted for the room, the time you have and how senior the group is. The point is that people feel the change while they are in the room, rather than being told about it.

1. Arrive

People land, the room settles, and the terms are set out plainly: nothing to perform, nothing to share, every exercise optional.

2. Breathe and move

Simple guided breath and gentle movement that anyone can do in work clothes, seated or standing.

3. Laugh and connect

Structured laughter exercises done together. This is the part people arrive sceptical about and leave talking about.

4. Anchor

A short close that hands people two or three tools small enough to actually use on a pressured Tuesday.

Formats

Shaped to the time you have.

All formats are delivered onsite at your offices or venue, or online for distributed teams. Pricing depends on format, group size, location and context, and is quoted per enquiry.

Meeting energiser
20 to 30 minutes

Dropped into a leadership meeting, a shift handover or the middle of a long agenda. Enough to change the pace of the day.

Team wellness session
45 to 60 minutes

The standard wellness-day slot. Works for a single team or for several groups run back to back through the day.

Wellness day anchor
half or full day

The centrepiece of a wellbeing day or offsite, alongside your other stands and speakers, with sessions repeated for successive groups.

Where

Johannesburg, and wherever your people are.

Laughter Coaching is based in Johannesburg and works throughout Gauteng, travelling onsite to organisations across South Africa, and delivering online for teams that are spread out or working remotely. Shareen has facilitated across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the USA. Travel outside Gauteng is quoted with the session.

Why Laughter Coaching

What makes this different from a wellness talk.

A talk informs. This is experiential, and that is the whole point: the shift happens in the room, in front of you, rather than being promised for later.

Safe for mixed and senior rooms

Nothing to perform, nobody singled out, every exercise optional. This is why it works with executives and shop floor in the same session.

Facilitated, not performed

Shareen has run these sessions since 2009, for 50,000+ people across 500+ organisations. She is a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher, trained with Dr Madan Kataria in Mumbai, and a TEDx speaker.

Honest about what it is

This is a facilitated wellbeing experience, not therapy and not medical treatment. We do not promise clinical outcomes, and we say so on the day.

Facilitating since 2009
Johannesburg-based
Across South Africa
Onsite and online

Within minutes the entire room was filled with joy, connection and genuine belly laughs. We left lighter, brighter and more connected than ever.

Frequently asked questions

How does laughter help workplace wellness?

Research suggests laughter can support stress relief, mood and social connection. In a workplace session, the aim is a brief felt shift and practical tools, not a clinical outcome.

What's the difference between a wellness talk and a wellness session?

A talk informs; a Laughter Coaching session is experiential, people leave having felt the shift, with practical reset tools, not just notes.

Can you run wellness sessions for Mental Health Month?

Yes, May (Mental Health Month) and Women's Day are popular windows. Book early; these dates fill quickly.

Do you run corporate wellness workshops in Johannesburg?

Yes. Laughter Coaching is based in Johannesburg and runs wellness workshops throughout Gauteng, onsite across South Africa, and online for distributed teams.

How long is a corporate wellness session?

Three formats: a 20 to 30 minute meeting energiser, a 45 to 60 minute team session, and a half or full day wellness-day anchor with sessions repeated for successive groups.

How many people can take part?

From a single team of ten to a conference hall. Larger groups are usually run as repeated sessions through the day so everyone gets the experience rather than watching it.

Is this therapy, or a medical intervention?

No. It is a facilitated workplace wellbeing experience. It is not medical or psychological treatment and does not replace professional care.

What does a corporate wellness workshop cost?

Pricing depends on the format, group size, location and how many sessions run on the day. Send the details through and Shareen will quote on it.
