In today’s sedentary […]

I Wish My Employer…

Let’s be honest. Most of us love our jobs (or at the very least, we love payday). But every now and then, I catch myself daydreaming about what life would look like if my employer really leaned into employee wellness.

Why Nature Feels So Good – Reflections from a Kenyan Trail

God’s creation has a way of speaking to us—quietly, powerfully, and consistently. And here in Kenya, we are blessed with some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. The next time you feel overwhelmed, tired, or disconnected, step outside. Let the breeze hit your face. Listen to the rustling trees. Walk. Breathe. Be still.

Movement: moving more for our mental health.

In the house of movement, every room has a vital part of keeping our body in tip-top shape! Let’s take a tour of these key rooms, shall we?
