From Work Stress to Natural Intelligence

Corporate Workshops: Nervous System Regulation for Teams

For HR managers and leaders who invest in real change


You see it every day in your team:

People arrive already tense. Meetings feel heavy. Deadlines create panic instead of focus. Sick leave increases, creativity decreases, and your wellness program doesn't yet feel like the complete solution.

The numbers don't lie: Nearly 900,000 employees in Flanders experience too much work stress, and 330,000 employees are at increased risk of burnout¹. In 2021, Belgium spent more than 1.8 billion euros on benefits for long-term work disability due to burnout and depression².

But what if there was a way to actually help your team deal with stress, instead of just talking about it?

The real problem

Stress isn't in your head - it's in your nervous system.

Your team lives in constant fight-or-flight mode. Emails trigger stress responses. Video calls keep people in hypervigilance. Hours behind a computer cause a disconnection from the body that further dysregulates the nervous system.

"Sitting is the new smoking" - and your team sits an average of 8+ hours per day. The consequences? Not just stress, but also physical complaints that have become "normal."

The result?

  • 1 in 6 Flemish employees struggles with burnout symptoms or is at risk³

  • Neck complaints are - after back complaints - the most common complaints in office work⁴

  • Teams that function but don't flourish

  • Good people leaving because they're exhausted

Imagine: A team that can transform stress

Monday morning team meeting. Instead of tense faces, you see people who are grounded and present. When deadline pressure comes, they stay calm and think creatively. Conflicts are discussed without everyone going into defense mode.

After a long day at the computer, people stand up with energy instead of exhaustion. They know their body's signals and know how to regulate quickly.

This isn't utopia. This is what happens when people learn to regulate their nervous system and reconnect with their body.

My Background: From Burnout to Business Insight

I speak from experience. 7 years of marketing career across various sectors, good performance, but internally I often lived in survival mode. Until my nervous system couldn't handle it anymore - resulting in panic attacks and burnout.

Through my own recovery journey, I understand:

  • How work stress dysregulates the nervous system

  • Why traditional stress management often fails

  • Which tools actually work in a business context

  • How to reconnect with your body

My background:

  • Somatic Experiencing® in training (Intermediate level)

  • Hatha Yoga teacher (traditional training in India)

  • 7 years business experience - I understand your world

  • Personal experience - I know the way back

I combine neurobiology with business reality, because I know both worlds.

A Final Thought

Your team deserves more than stress management that only treats symptoms.

This workshop gives you tools that address the problem at its source. Because a team that knows how to regulate their nervous system is a team that can grow instead of survive.

The question isn't whether your team will experience stress - the question is whether they know how to deal with it.
