August has a certain vibe, doesn’t it? Vacations are wrapping up, routines are a little slower, and everyone is quietly bracing for the whirlwind that September brings.
That’s exactly why this is the perfect moment to invest in workplace wellness.
This summer, I’ve had the privilege of bringing wellness sessions into companies that wanted to create a positive, energizing break for their teams. From Essential Oils Workshops to Mindful Eating with seasonal recipes, Meditation 101, and sound healing sessions, these experiences have reminded me of one simple truth: when you make space for wellness, everything in the workplace shifts.
If you’ve been thinking about ways to re-energize your team, here are five reasons why August is the sweet spot to make it happen.
1. The Post-Summer Reset Is Real
Summer tends to be a blur of vacations, long weekends, and juggling schedules. When August arrives, employees are ready to reset and find their rhythm again.
A wellness session gives them that chance to slow down, reconnect, and ease into work mode without feeling like they’re jumping straight into the deep end. It’s a gentle reset before the busy season arrives.
2. Morale Boost Before Busy Season
Energy at work can feel a little sluggish in August. A fun, engaging wellness session is the perfect way to bring everyone together and remind them how good it feels to be part of a team.
This summer, the sound healing sessions and essential oils workshops I led were huge hits for exactly that reason. They weren’t just activities—they were experiences that sparked laughter, curiosity, and conversations that had nothing to do with deadlines.
And that kind of connection pays off when September rolls around.
3. Personalized Experiences Make It Stick
Here’s something I hear all the time:
“We’ve done wellness programs before, but they just didn’t land with our team.”
That’s because generic wellness doesn’t work. Every session I run is tailored. Before I show up, I ask questions about your company’s culture, what your team needs most right now, and what would feel fun—not forced.
That personal touch is what makes your employees want to show up (and talk about it long after it’s over).
4. Healthy Habits Improve Focus and Productivity
Wellness isn’t just “feel good” fluff. Even simple activities like mindful eating or a guided meditation can have a direct impact on focus, stress levels, and productivity.
During a Mindful Eating workshop I ran this summer, teams not only tried out a seasonal recipe—they also learned how small, intentional breaks can re-train their brains to slow down and work more effectively.
Little changes like that add up.
5. It’s Easier to Book (and Stand Out) Now
A little insider secret? Most companies wait until September to start thinking about wellness programs.
Booking something in August not only gives your team an advantage, it also means you have your pick of times and formats. You get ahead of the rush and give your employees something they’ll remember as they gear up for the rest of the year.
