Our Employee Wellness Program provides the education and motivation for employees to take care of their health and nutrition. We come to you with lively, entertaining classes that will inspire your employees to live a healthier lifestyle.
“Our emphasis is on prevention. Staying well benefits everyone. It’s good business to prevent illness and increase vitality and productivity.”— Kara Kroeger
In today’s busy world, eating healthy is often not a priority. However, eating healthy is the key to endurance and to handling or adapting to stress, especially in the work place. Many people are so busy that they don’t even realize that their health is compromised until they end up stuck in bed, at the doctor’s office, or out of work for an extended time. The tendency to rush through life, avoid exercise, and grab fast food on-the-go has a major impact on your health, happiness, effectiveness and productivity in both your personal and professional life.
Kara strives to help you reconnect to your healthy self through smart food choices. She speaks to groups in their work setting where she can get first-hand knowledge of people’s eating habits there. She knows that work place meals are often fast food, catered luncheons (where everyone eats too much of the wrong stuff and not enough of the right stuff) or nothing at all because there just isn’t time. These daily choices take a serious toll on your employee’s health. But it can be reversed.
“With a a few basic tools, disease and burnout can be prevented, employees will be happier, more capable of participating and your business will grow.”— Kara Kroeger
Kara’s Employee Wellness classes and consultations are fun, inspirational, and shed light on how to easily fit healthy eating into a busy schedule. Time constraints, old attitudes and beliefs, coupled with lack of solid nutrition education are common obstacles to healthy eating that she will help employees overcome.

These are 30-minute to one and a half hour long classes that are interactive and lively. Kara uses a number of techniques to engage the audience such as taste tests, self awareness quizzes and of course, humour. She provides easy to follow PowerPoint presentation on topics such as Healthy Eating Made Simple!, Nutrition and its Effects on your Ability to Handle Stress, and Living a Weight Loss Lifestyle. These lectures are often offered at employee appreciation days or luncheons.
Six & 12-week programs are offered to employees at a discounted rate and can either be performed in-house or in Kara’s office. Consecutive weekly visits are the best way to build a strong nutritional foundation and to correct unwanted habits. In these programs, nutritional suggestions are gradually introduced so changes are made at a comfortable rate and therefore most likely to produce the long-lasting results desired. These programs are customized to fit employees’ specific needs, whether that’s overcoming impaired health, reducing weight, improving mental and emotional thought patterns or optimizing athletic performance. Progress is discussed at each weekly visit and changes are made accordingly. Consecutive visits offer continued inspiration and motivation and create accountability, which increases the ability to reach goals.
In the workplace, time is money so Kara has created the Workplace Wellness Video Subscription that is sent out once or twice a month to employees. Videos are 5-10 minutes long and cover a range of topics such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, cooking, and de-stress techniques. The videos arrives in a newletter format, which sumarizes the video’s content. Each edition gives the viewer a new tool to improve their health and takes only minutes to watch.
Kara teams up with some of the greatest local chefs and foods merchants to offer a healthier alternative to the usual catered office lunch, while also providing an entertaining cooking demo that instructs participants on how to create quick and healthy meals in their own kitchen. Demos last 30 minutes and are an easy way to inspire your employees to make better choices while also giving the gift of a healthy lunch
Grocery store tours are a fun way to learn the many healthy food options that can fit into every lifestyle. Busy folks with little time for cooking and seasoned cooks who would like to improve their food choices will all benefit from these flexible, customized tours. Tours include a full explanation of each section of the grocery store with ideas for food preparation, nutritional info, storage suggestions, time management, and delicious alternatives to junk foods. Each tour is 1&1/2 hours long and can be performed at any grocery store of choice. (Whole Foods Market is recommended because of its wide range of healthy foods and alternatives.) Many people find this to be an invaluable lesson in creating a healthy lifestyle. The employee’s whole family is welcome to come along and learn. Imagine that -- a teenager who knows how to shop healthy? Priceless!
Ongoing supplementation insures nutrient intake and can greatly improve many health issues. And added nutrients and herbal preparations can help employees achieve their goals faster. A 10% discount on all supplements is offered to all employees utilizing Kara’s consulting services. An extended discount of 20% is offered to employees who wish to participate in a 6 month drop ship program.
