Why it matters
Keep your best people. Build a thriving team.
“Dawn delivers practical stress management and burnout prevention training for UK teams all built from lived experience”
People at work get good at hiding how they really feel. Stress and burnout build quietly and before long you risk losing your best people to long-term absence or somewhere else altogether.
I know exactly how that feels, and I know what genuinely helps. My training is built from lived experience, it’s practical, real and delivered with warmth.
When people feel genuinely supported, it shows in how they work, how they treat each other, and whether they stay.
Unlike many trainers, Dawn has lived experience of workplace stress and burnout which is exactly why her training lands differently.

How we can work together
Practical, interactive and fun!
Every session is designed to feel less like training and more like a conversation, the kind that leaves people feeling lighter, clearer and ready to make real changes. Whether that’s for your whole team, for you personally, or for a senior leader who simply needs someone to talk to.

About Dawn
Hi! I'm Dawn
I spent years building a career I loved in marketing. But there was a particular time, when the pressure built so much, I stopped looking after myself and didn’t manage my stress at all well and I slid into burnout.
That one experience changed everything. It’s why I’ve spent the last 20+ years learning everything I can about what genuinely helps people feel better at work and it’s why I now help companies and individuals take better care of themselves, so they can feel good and perform at their best without burning out.
Based in Berkshire and working with teams across the UK.

Frequently asked questions
I specialise in working with small and medium-sized businesses, typically teams of 5 to 250 employees. My wellbeing programs are specifically designed for the budgets, cultures and challenges of growing organisations, not necessarily large corporates with dedicated wellbeing departments.
Yes. All group wellbeing workshops and training can be delivered virtually as well as in person. This makes them accessible for remote and hybrid teams. The Finding Calm online program is available globally.
It depends on your specific needs, goals and team size but typically sessions run from 60 or 90 minutes to a half-day. Short 30-minute relaxation breaks are also proving very popular.
Core topics include stress management, burnout prevention, resilience building, mindfulness in the workplace and developing healthy mental health habits. Every program is customised, the specific focus is agreed on your strategy call based on what your team actually needs.
Absolutely. The Finding Calm online program is available for anyone who wants to manage work stress at their own pace. Personal wellbeing coaching is also available. Visit the Personal Wellbeing page to explore your options.
These are private, confidential sessions designed specifically for senior leaders, busy people, MDs, Directors, and anyone carrying significant responsibility who has nobody they can really open up to. You talk, I listen. You can say the things you can’t say to your team, your SLT or your family, and you’ll be heard by someone who has genuinely been through chronic work stress and burnout themselves. Sessions are held via video call or in person and are completely and utterly confidential.
Completely. Everything shared in a 1:1 session stays between us. Full stop. Nothing is reported back to your employer, your HR team or anyone else. That’s the beauty of these sessions it’s completely external and independent of your work. Many senior leaders find it extremely valuable precisely because it is one of the few truly private spaces available to them.
