Organizational Wellbeing That Goes Beyond Awareness

Helping teams move from knowing about wellbeing to actually experiencing it.

Your people may already know a lot about stress, burnout, boundaries, and self-care.

The harder question is: Can they actually respond differently when it matters?

Unearthing Wellness brings together psychology, somatic practice, nature connection, and experiential learning to help organizations create cultures where wellbeing is something people can practice, experience, and carry with them—not just something they hear about once a year.

For organizations, workplaces, schools, nonprofits, healthcare teams, leadership groups, and communities ready to explore wellbeing in a more whole-person way that translates to increased capacity and human productivity in a world of AI.

The Hidden Costs of Self-Awareness

Why We Know More About Wellness Than Ever — And Still Feel Burned Out

BOTH/AND: Belonging & The Nervous System

Exploring the tensions, complexities, and possibilities of creating workplaces where people can bring their full humanity while building genuine connection and belonging.

Self-Awareness & Connected Teams

What true self-awareness actually is, and how greater self-awareness can change the way we communicate, navigate differences, and show up in relationships—creating stronger, more connected teams.

THE CHANGING THE RESPONSE SERIES

A Six-Workshop Series for Organizations

We don't change by understanding our patterns better. We change by responding differently—until the new response becomes the wiring.

Changing the Response is a six-workshop journey that explores different layers of how we experience ourselves, one another, and the world around us.

~~~~~

The Six Responses

The Somatic Response
Explore how the body responds to stress, safety, and connection.

The Cognitive Response
Examine the thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, and stories that shape how we respond.

The Scent & Sensory Response
Use sensory awareness and the environment around us to explore regulation, memory, and connection.

The Relational Response
Explore how we respond within relationships, communication, conflict, and connection.

The Earth Response
Reconnect with nature and place as resources for perspective, grounding, and restoration.

The Integrated Response
Bring the six layers together and explore what becomes possible when mind, body, relationship, senses, and environment are considered together.

Available as a single workshop, three-session series, or full six-session program.

Recently Presented At Berkshire Community College

The Integrated Root received enthusiastic feedback from students and faculty for its unique approach to burnout, belonging, and ecological connection.

TESTIMONIAL
"I absolutely loved it! Combining the concept of cognitive and embodied work with ecology and climate care is interesting, poignant, and so thoughtful. Caring for ourselves is a direct path to caring for the Earth, and vice versa."

What organizational audiences say:

  • Executive business coach, Ellevate Network roundtable, July 2026

    "I had never heard anyone emphasize that even with all the insight and knowledge we have — this does not mean we know how to embody. Such good information that I can also use with my own clients."

  • Allyson McDonald, Managing Partner, Ellevate Network

    "I didn't know about interoception or the olfactory connection! It's fascinating and something I can remember from my own life."

  • Environmental Science Professor & The Integrated Root Keynote Attendee
