Our Mission

Fizzy Mind helps organizations in the food and beverage industry add value to their staff wellness programs by providing team-based workshops that help individuals build resilience, explore skillful responses to stress, and improve focus by cultivating mindfulness in their daily lives.

 

Our flagship workshop "Introducing Mindfulness" was developed via a collaboration between the Oxford University Mindfulness Centre and Oxford Mindfulness Foundation. It is rooted in MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) research and offers a secular introduction to meditation combined with didactic teaching and home-based practice. It can be arranged as an entirely online course or an in-person course at your facility.  

​

Through our nearly 30 years in the service industry and 10 years owning and operating a brewery, we are well acquainted with the stresses and anxieties of these types of jobs, as well as the default ways for dealing with them. We believe that mindfulness practices can provide hospitality and brewery workers with a wide variety of tools to help effectively minimize nervous system dysregulation and reduce overwhelm in a more sustainable way. 

​

Given the diversity of our industry, we know that those who participate in our sessions have all had different life experiences, and we celebrate these differences by seeking to provide a welcoming, supportive, and culturally sensitive learning environment. Additionally, all sessions adopt a "do no harm" approach whereby participants are encouraged to be their own guides in choosing various ways to adapt their practice to suit their individual needs.
