Why Work with us
PROACTIVE VITALITY MANAGEMENT MODEL (PVM)
Our work is backed by the Proactive Vitality Management Model (PVM) which emphasises goal-oriented behaviour to increase mental and physical energy. We provide evidence-base tools within this model to give employees the tools for self-empowerment and advancement at work.
REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
Mindfulness is not just the flavour of the month at Sunrise Well. Our Director, Ruth Kent, has been practicing meditation for 30 years, with many deep periods of practice on retreat and advanced meditation trainings. Ruth has studied both yogic mantra meditation, compassion-focussed therapy, and Buddhist mindfulness meditation. She infuses the intentionality and compassion of mindfulness into everything we offer at Sunrise Well.
PUBLIC HEALTH
We live and breathe public health. Our extensive training in public health, health sociology, psychology, and health coaching support our work in training, consulting, and coaching. We understand the principles of self efficacy, social determinants, epidemiology, and research-based practices in health promotion and disease prevention. Health education is nuanced and should be targeted to the unique needs of the target population. We take care to understand you and your group to ensure our trainings are relevant and impactful.
EXPERIENCED EDUCATORS
With 30 years experience in education and facilitation, we understand the principles of working with groups, both large and small. We tailor our workshops and educational trainings to reach even the most unengaged participants. We love coming up with new ways to share important information and understand the learning journey our clients are on. Whether we meet for one hour, or several months, we ensure that our clients progress, learn, and meet their outcomes.

"That was an awesome webinar today. Our office sat in together and watched... I actually taught my granddaughter the box breathing technique when she stayed with me on the weekend. We practiced it together, then later she told her mum about it."

"Ruth – I just wanted to say a big thanks on behalf of our Tribe for running the Mindfulness session at our Retreat...We’ve received such great feedback from our Tribe, that they were able to let go of what was happening around them, to be present in the moment, and left with a much calmer mind and body. Personally, I loved the session and felt so relaxed afterwards. I’m definitely going to start practicing mindfulness each day!...will definitely be recommending the mindfulness session to others. Thanks again for delivering such an amazing session."

“We had an amazing session with Ruth from Sunrise Well! She worked with two of our Scrum Master teams from the University of Adelaide. She walked us through the skills involved in mindfulness and emotion intelligence. She provided a warm and open environment where people felt comfortable sharing and asking questions. It was a great bonding experience for us all. There were many important take aways that participants were keen to share back with their teams"

"Thank you so much for our session this morning. I really like your warmth and empathy and the way you structure your sessions and feedback. It makes it really easy to see how it all fits together as well as how you guide people to an end goal... ...You listened and discussed issues but still stayed on track to lead me to the end point. I also really enjoyed the mindfulness exercise which you used to elicit my vision. Thanks again."
