About Evolve Yourself Institute
Our Vision
To see a well world.
Our Mission
To revolutionise wellness with an inside out approach.
What if you could develop the ability to self-regulate your emotions? What if you could feed your body the chemicals to create more happiness, no matter what your life experiences shows? We spend most of our waking hours at work and the prime years of our lives in the workplace and too often fall into the systemic conditionings of stress being the ‘normal.’
Lack of resources, constantly changing policies, excessive red-tape and regulation mean more administration, increased workloads and high staff turnover.
Professions like teaching and nursing, midwifery are seeing record numbers of new graduates leaving after only a few years, and experienced staff planning to leave the profession in record numbers. This huge waste of talent and resources leaves industries without the skilled staff and resources to do their jobs well.
In 2015, we noticed this worrying trend and decided to do something about it by creating programs that help workplaces better support the mental, psychological and physical health of their staff.
We work with a vision of all human beings thriving and operating in harmony with all aspects of life.
We now work directly with organisations, corporate, service, hospitals and schools across Australia. Our innovative and holistic programs supporting workplaces look after the mental health and wellbeing of their teams.
We can’t take away the stress, understaffing and workload pressures, but we can enhance the capacity for people to respond rather than react, through the tools of self-care, self-awareness, meditation, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence.
Accredited by the Australian College of Nursing (ACN)
Our Purpose
We believe that everyone has the capacity to know happiness, be less stressed and more productive in life and the workplace.
That’s why we’ve designed our innovative programs to help managers and teams learn the art of self-awareness and self-care to look after themselves first, so they can give more back to their work, life and people.
Our Australian first programs are unique because we focus firstly on the development of the individual, then support the alignment and actions of organisations’ strategic plans and goals.
Our signature education, System of Self® brings together the latest in neuroscience, neuropsychology, positive psychology, mindfulness, yoga and somatic psychology to bring the complexity of mind and body into a layman language that is tangible and relatable.
