About us
Karen James
20 years ago the idea of wellbeing being given its own status within a business, didn’t exist. At the time, my work was two-fold - as a personal development Learning and Development trainer and as a group fitness instructor teaching fitness classes. This dual way of working inspired the thinking that just because our minds are sharpened it doesn’t mean we necessarily reach full potential when our health maybe suffering in some way. And vice versa. An end-to-end practical training package where both mind and body were considered, was surely needed to develop full potential, optimise performance and minimise stress.
Since then, the solid experience gained by continuing to contract within large corporate environments as a trainer and as a private supplier of wellbeing services, in addition to working as a fitness professional within prestigious health and fitness concerns, has become invaluable to what I’m doing today. The many influences during that time have taken twists and turns whilst the steadfast learnings in HR Personal Development, Life Coaching, Yoga, Pilates and Mindfulness and Meditation make up the MindFit BodyFit training sessions.
MindFit BodyFit has remained my passion throughout. All of the practical tools and techniques used in the training package have been tried-and-tested by myself and others to ensure they do work and there is merit to be gained in some wellbeing way.
Results are wide and varied because we are all individuals and have different needs and expectations but for an idea of what MindFit BodyFit achieves for the learner, please refer to the testimonies page
I now work alongside some talented HR specialists who I am delighted to say have agreed to become part of the MFBF network, in order to put wellbeing firmly on the business map.
