Corporate Wellness Programs Los Angeles

If your team is burned out, always on go, and struggling to make it through the week, it’s time for something different. I’m Chelsey Reese, a therapist and somatic practitioner in Los Angeles specializing in nervous system regulation for women of color and high-pressure workplaces. I’ve seen how chronic stress, emotional suppression, and people-pleasing patterns show up at work—and how deeply they impact performance, health, and connection.


Through corporate wellness programs rooted in trauma-informed care and embodied healing, we help your team slow down, breathe deeper, and build resilience from the inside out. Whether you're leading a mission-driven nonprofit, a growing startup, or a tight-knit team, I offer support that goes beyond surface-level solutions.

 

What is corporate wellness?

Corporate wellness refers to programs and practices that support the mental, emotional, and physical health of employees. But the truth? Many corporate wellness programs don’t go deep enough.


The kind I offer is different. Rooted in nervous system education, trauma-informed care, and somatic healing, these wellness sessions are designed to address what your team is actually holding: the invisible load of stress, over-functioning, identity pressure, and exhaustion.


We don’t just hand out meditation apps or host a yoga day—we help your team learn how to regulate, rest, and reconnect. That means addressing the root causes of burnout, emotional disconnection, and overworking so your people can show up fully, not just functionally.


Most common reasons people benefit from corporate wellness

  • Chronic burnout and emotional exhaustion
  • High turnover or team disengagement
  • Persistent tension, fatigue, or difficulty focusing
  • Emotional numbing or checking out during the day
  • Difficulty setting boundaries with workload
  • Lack of psychological safety or team communication issues
  • Feeling the pressure to constantly "perform" or be the strong one
  • Struggles with belonging, identity, and inclusion at work

How do I know if corporate wellness is right for our team?

Ask yourself:

  • Do my team members look “fine” on paper but seem emotionally checked out?
  • Are there patterns of burnout, frustration, or unspoken tension in the group?
  • Do we keep investing in wellness perks without lasting change?
  • Are staff regularly pushing past exhaustion, afraid to slow down?
  • Do I want to create a work culture that truly supports rest, boundaries, and emotional well-being?

If you're nodding along, corporate wellness support rooted in somatic and trauma-informed care might be exactly what your team needs.

Where to find corporate wellness practitioners in LA

At my Los Angeles-based practice, I bring corporate wellness to companies, nonprofits, and small teams who are ready to redefine success not as hustle, but as wholeness. My work blends:

  • Somatic education – Teaching the nervous system’s role in burnout, regulation, and recovery
  • Embodiment practices – Breathwork, grounding exercises, and body-based stress relief
  • Emotional wellness sessions – Group workshops on boundaries, people-pleasing, and self-trust
  • Trauma-informed leadership tools – For managers and founders navigating stress and care fatigue
  • Restorative space holding – Facilitated healing circles or team retreats focused on repair and rest

Programs are customized to meet your team where they are—and create ripple effects that last far beyond the session.

How does corporate wellness help in the workplace

  • Reduces burnout and fatigue – Teaches employees how to identify stress signals early and recover sustainably
  • Improves focus and presence – Supports nervous system balance so employees can stay engaged without pushing past their limits
  • Builds emotional intelligence – Encourages reflection, self-trust, and clear communication
  • Improves team dynamics – Restorative sessions foster understanding, trust, and connection
  • Supports equity and inclusion – Validates the lived experiences of employees of color and marginalized identities
  • Redefines productivity – Centers rest, regulation, and rhythm (not overworking) as paths to effectiveness
  • Creates sustainable leaders – Teaches managers to lead from a place of embodiment, not burnout

Tips and resources for successful corporate wellness programs

  • Start small and build trust – One-off sessions are a great entry point; and consistency builds deeper transformation
  • Include leadership – When managers participate, it models care from the top down
  • Create space for reflection – Journaling, group discussion, or even quiet breaks help the work land
  • Honor cultural context – Wellness isn't one-size-fits-all. Choose providers who understand your team's lived experiences
  • Don’t expect quick fixes – True wellness is a practice, not a checkbox
  • Offer options – Some team members may love group work; others may prefer 1:1 support
  • Make it accessible – Schedule during work hours and compensate staff for their time
  • Normalize nervous system talk – Help employees understand what regulation, dysregulation, and safety actually feel like and look like in the workplace

FAQ

How is your approach to corporate wellness different from traditional models?

Most corporate wellness focuses on surface-level perks like yoga breaks or fitness challenges. My approach goes deeper. I center nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, community care, and somatic tools that actually help your team feel better, not just perform better. We address the root causes of stress, not just the symptoms, so your workplace becomes a space of resilience, not reactivity.

Why is wellness in the workplace important?

Without wellness, even the most talented teams burn out. When people feel safe, regulated, and rested, they show up more fully and authentically.

Do corporate wellness programs actually work?

When done right, yes!. Programs that are trauma-informed, inclusive, and body-centered help reduce stress and increase long-term resilience and retention.

What are some examples of wellness activities?

Grounding and breathwork sessions, team retreats, emotional regulation trainings, and facilitated healing circles.

Is it worth it for a small business to invest in employee wellness?

Absolutely. Even small teams benefit from emotional safety and regulation tools. In fact, small teams often carry more pressure with fewer resources. Investing in wellness helps prevent burnout and turnover.
