About Metanoia Wellness

We believe wellbeing is something that is misunderstood and if people and organisations had a deeper understanding of it they would take more responsibility, they could nurture themselves. If people knew how to genuinely look after themselves it would have a tremendous effect on themselves, the way the company performs and operates and their families. Because when you are out of sync it has a huge effect on what you are able to produce.

Our intention is to help people and organisations deepen their knowledge and application of wellbeing across 4 areas: mind, body, heart and spirit. Through understanding the correct principles that govern human wellbeing we empower people to not only become independent (mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically) but also interdependent (learn the art of building meaningful, trustworthy relationships and become effective leaders of others as well as themselves).

This, therefore requires a team of experts in different areas to be able to develop a holistic wellbeing strategy that looks at culture as well as the individual.

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. When we are mindful, we carefully observe our thoughts and feelings without judging them as good or bad. It can be a really powerful tool to improve our wellbeing, especially our mental wellbeing.

The problems we are solving

INCREASING HEALTHCARE COSTS. INCREASING PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC DISEASES

The General Health Survey estimated that around 27% of the population is living with at least one chronic disease. These will continue to drive up the medical costs, as found by AON. There is growing consensus that the main triggers of chronic diseases are unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity and therefore are largely preventable through modifying lifestyle.
