    Choose individual sessions or a full program. We match facilitators and formats to your goals, team and schedule.

  • In-house or field trip

    We come to your workplace, or we take your team off-site to a venue matched to the group.

  • Full event planning available

    Venue, catering, scheduling, setup, on-site hosting and follow-up, all through one point of contact.

How we measure

How do we measure a program?

Every program can include a short before-and-after survey, so you have something concrete to share with your team.

  • Baseline

    A short, anonymous pulse survey on stress, focus, energy and engagement, kept brief so it fits the workday.

  • Post-program

    The same pulse at the end of the program, plus an optional follow-up at 30 or 90 days.

  • Reporting

    Aggregated, anonymized results only, in a short summary for HR, People and Culture or your wellness committee.

  • Your metrics

    Where you choose to share them, we align with your own data: absenteeism, engagement survey and retention.

Our programs are educational. They do not replace medical, psychological or addiction treatment, and they work alongside your EAP and benefits.

How it works

How does a corporate wellness program work?

  1. Define your goal

    Stress relief, focus, team cohesion, leadership resilience or retention.

  2. Build your program

    Pick sessions à la carte, or ask us to design the PEMS mix.

  3. Choose delivery

    In-house at your workplace, or a field trip to an off-site venue.

  4. Measure and follow up

    Baseline and post-program pulse, with a short results summary.

Built for every team

Which kinds of teams do we design for?

Our team's backgrounds are as varied as the teams we work with. Carl Nissen spent most of his working life in manufacturing, helping run his family's aluminum door and porch-enclosure business, and has worked in customer service. Our facilitators bring farming, culinary, movement and mindfulness experience of their own.

That range means we understand the pressure of sales targets, production floors, busy phone lines and high-performance training, and we design each day around what your people actually face.

  • Financial services, insurance and pensions
  • Manufacturing and operations
  • Customer service and contact centres
  • Sales teams and leadership groups
  • Community and non-profit organizations
  • Sport and high-performance teams

A rest break

What is sound-guided relaxation?

A structured rest break: participants sit or lie comfortably while a facilitator guides slow breathing, and live crystal bowls (and, in premium sessions, live voice) set the pace. It suits the end of a long workshop as well as a quiet pause mid-day.

FAQ

Questions HR teams ask us

What happens at a corporate wellness day with EHF Canada?

A day is built around your goals from a menu of facilitated sessions: movement such as qigong, tai chi or yoga, guided meditation, a team workshop, a cooking class, a farm and forest walk and a chef-prepared lunch. Every activity is optional and invitational. We design the schedule with you, and your custom quote covers the final plan.

Where are your corporate retreats held?

Our home base is a rural property in Caledon East, Ontario, roughly an hour north of Toronto, with a Lighthouse cabin that has indoor space. We also plan events at partner countryside venues in the Caledon Hills and Headwaters region and at the Kingbridge Centre in King City. Ask us about transport options for your group.

Can you come to our office instead?

Yes. We bring the program to your boardroom, training room, cafeteria or outdoor space. We bring the equipment, handle setup and takedown, and keep disruption to the workday minimal. Ask us about in-house options when you request a proposal, and we will confirm what suits your space.

What size of team can you work with?

We shape each program around your team rather than a fixed format. When you request a proposal, tell us roughly how many people to expect and when. We then suggest the best setting: your workplace, our Caledon East property, a partner venue or a conference campus, and confirm the details in your custom quote.

Are the activities optional?

Yes. Every activity is optional and invitational, so each person can take part at their own comfort level and step out whenever they like. Yoga with Meesh is adapted for all fitness levels, with chair or mat options, so nobody has to keep pace with anyone else. Tell us about your team's needs when you inquire.

Can you accommodate dietary and accessibility needs?

Yes. Chef Doris Fin accommodates dietary needs, including gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, plant-based, keto and paleo menus, and handles allergens when we know about them in advance. Tell us about your team's accessibility needs when you inquire, and we will plan the day and venue around them.

What if the weather is bad?

The program continues comfortably. Our Lighthouse cabin has indoor space, so the day can carry on inside when the weather turns. Outdoor items such as the guided farm and forest walk or the evening campfire are optional additions, so you can choose a schedule that suits the season.

What credentials and insurance do your facilitators have?

A registered massage therapist is available on request, offered alongside our facilitators and never in place of medical care. Ask us about the qualifications of any facilitator on your program and about our insurance coverage, and we can share the details you need for your procurement process. Each background is summarized on the menu above.
