Why is employee wellbeing important to me

As a doctor who deeply values the impact of lifestyle on health, employee wellbeing holds a special place in my heart.

Throughout my personal journey, I have encountered the detrimental effects of stress in the workplace and battled with the challenges posed by chronic health conditions. These experiences have instilled in me a profound understanding of the vital connection between mental and physical well-being.

It's estimated the average person spends 90,000 hours in the workplace over a lifetime. This staggering statistic serves as a poignant reminder of the tremendous influence that work can have on our overall quality of life.

As an advocate for employee well-being, I am dedicated to creating impactful change by fostering healthier work environments, promoting work-life balance, and prioritising the mental and physical health of individuals in the workplace.

Testimonials

What Others Say

The 12 weeks I spent working with Aishah changed my whole life. I came to her unhappy, stressed, disliking my body and close to burnout. Never once did she tell me I was hopeless. Never once did she say that I needed to do X or Y. Aishah listened. I mean she REALLY listened. Yes, I weigh a lot less now. But more than that I am HAPPY with myself in many ways. I sleep better, I eat without guilt. Aishah changed my whole life and I will never be able to thank her enough.

Anna, Social Media Manager

The ideas underpinning the programme have been clearly laid out over the first 8 weeks in lectures which are engaging and well presented. By encouraging us to think beyond traditional ideas surrounding weight loss and consider how our thoughts and feelings impact on what we eat, I feel the programme is starting to change how I approach my diet, as well as improving other areas of my life eg my exercise and sleep. Aishah is a really approachable coach and as a fellow medic mum, she really understands the difficulties and is empathetic, positive and patient.

Hannah, Hospital Doctor

I enjoyed my interactions with Aishah, she is kind and positive. Most of all she manages to

pinpoint bottlenecks, and help you find solutions. In this she never makes you feel bad or

unworthy, but rather is a partner at your side, letting you find solutions with the tools you

already have, but weren’t thinking of applying right.
