Can your company afford to ignore the health of its greatest asset?

Many companies, large and small now realise that the wellbeing of their employees is at least as important as Profit and Customer Service.

As you will see from browsing our website we provide a diverse range of high quality onsite health and wellbeing services and bespoke health and wellbeing initiatives delivered by highly qualified professionals.


Our strategy is to achieve excellence through exceptional service delivery, project management, presentation and communication.

Above all we are passionate about helping your employees to improve their health and wellbeing, and helping you to maximise productivity and profitablility. We are told our enthusiasm is infectious and we believe this is because our clients can tell that we believe in what we do and we love our work!

Headline statistics from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE):

  • The Self-reported Work-related Illness Survey for 2006 and 2007 (SWI06/07) estimated that work-related stress, depression or anxiety affected 530,000 people in Great Britain, with an estimated 13.8 million working days lost due to these work-related conditions in Britain in 2006 and 2007.

  • This represents an estimated average of 30.2 working days lost per year per affected case and makes stress, depression or anxiety one of the largest contributors to the overall estimated annual days lost from work-related ill-health in SWI06/07.

    Lovely & Healthy can work with you to achieve the following:

  • Improve the health of your employees
  • Reduce absenteeism and time off through illness
  • Raise staff morale and increase productivity
  • Make your workforce more content, relaxed and less stressed
  • Improve workplace relations
  • Retain valued, highly trained staff
  • Create a "want to" work ethic

    Our services are tailor made to the needs and aspirations of both the company and the individual

    This area of our website has been put together to give decision makers and budget holders in the fields of health and safety, human resources, and corporate social responsibility examples of our most popular corporate health packages and workplace health and wellbeing solutions.

    Corporate Health Event Packages

    Lovely & Healthy have recently launched three brand new health event packages. Depending on the size of your organisation, number of employees and the type of event you would like us to run, we will guide you towards the most appropriate event package to suit your needs.

    We know from experience that planning a health fair involves a lot of work. There are many things to organise from deciding on a budget, the activities you want to include, booking staff and exhibitors, advertising the event, coordinating the event and not to forget evaluating the event to name just a few! Our corporate health event packages are structured to make life easier for our clients. Our expert team will take care of all the planning, booking, advertising, managing and evaluating, allowing you to focus on your existing workload without having to become an events coordinator at the same time!

    A successful event needs people. It is important to secure attendence at your health fair from many different people, for example: holistic therapists, occupational health teams, exercise instructors and health trainers but the people that can often get forgotten when organising an event can be the employees you are running the event for in the first place! The key to ensuring attendence and engagement in your health and wellbeing initiative is effective communication, and by this we mean the right message at the right time in the right place and in the right format.

    In order for us to ensure that your event is well attended, all of our event packages include marketing communications support and a health promotion display, a summary of what this includes is detailed below.

    Health and Wellbeing Diaries

    Health and Wellbeing Diary Lovely & Healthy have produced a number of diaries including a health and wellbeing diary and a nutrition diary. We also sell a range of other useful diaries including a mood calming diary and even a hot flush diary!

    "People who use these self monitoring diaries should be able to develop a greater sense of mastery and control not only of their symptoms but also their lives."

    Dr Christopher Bass
    Department of Psychological Medicine
    The John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford

    Our diaries:

  • Can start from any time of the year
  • Help your employees to see clearly and easily the severity and patterns of any key symptoms affecting their health and wellbeing
  • Understand whether stress or lifestyle factors are making your employees symptoms worse
  • Monitor the effect of any treatments or interventions
  • The diaries are simple to use, highly effective and stylishly discreet!

    (it may take a few minutes to download and your computer will need to be able to read pdf files.

    Mood Calming Diary
    If you suffer from mood swings, depression or anxiety, understanding and controlling your symptoms can be quite difficult. This is why many health experts recommend keeping a daily record of your symptoms and the factors that may influence them. But this is easier said than done, for example, what symptoms do you record? And more importantly, how do you record symptoms in a way that makes sense when it comes to reviewing them later?

    The mood calming diary will make recording and monitoring your symptoms easy, this can be an important step toward you taking control of your moods.

    Your mood calming diary will fill the gap between your "expert" knowledge of yourself and the expert knowledge your doctor or specialist has about mood and anxiety disorders in general.

    The diary's reflections pages will keep you in touch with what is happening with your moods week by week, while the specially designed symptom monitoring chart allows both you and your doctor or therapist to see at a glance how you are managing.

    If you take medication or make lifestyle changes, you can chart the results in your diary and really see if it is helping or not. You will be able to see trends as symptoms change as well as noticing any patterns and relationships between different symptoms.

    The diary's straightforward guide to mood disorders includes advice about seeking alternative as well as conventional treatment and helpful advice on breaking the taboo - how to tell your family and friends about what is happening to you.

    Taster Article Know Your Numbers! By Anna Titley

    BP monitor The Blood Pressure Association estimates that 16 million people in the UK have high blood pressure. However, 5.3 million of those don't realise they have the condition, and as a consequence are putting themselves at risk. To raise awareness and encourage more people to get their blood pressure checked, BPA are running their Know Your Numbers! campaign. Their campaign week offers a free blood pressure check to every adult at 'pressure stations' in the community. So how much do you know about your vital statistics?...

    Taster Article: How can you get your 5 a day? By Anna Titley

    fruit We all know we should be eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables per day, but it's not always easy to cram them into your daily eating patterns. Here are a few ideas on how to make a habit of eating well.

    Breakfast
    Add fruit to your cereal, using oats or muesli with low-fat milk. You could even try substituting fruit instead of jam on your toast! This way you've had at least one serving before you even leave the house!

    Mid-morning snack
    Grab a piece of fruit or a handful of berries. Why not try a different fruit everyday? And in the summer freeze berries or grapes for a refreshing treat.

    Lunch
    One word for you: salad! It's low in calories and fills you up. You really can't have too much of it and you may get in two or three servings of vegetables in one meal.

    Afternoon tea
    For a snack why not try some veggie sticks? Use your imagination and anything can become a dipping stick for example carrots, cucumber, courgette.

    Dinner
    Stir-fries are brilliant because you can load them full of veg AND get your protein from meat. Challenge yourself to see how many varieties you can get into one meal!

    Dessert
    Nothing can bump up your serving count more than a fresh fruit salad. Choose your favourites from the fruit bowl and serve with yogurt or low-fat custard.

    Smoothies
    These are a brilliant way to pack yourself full of goodness and increase your daily portion count. They can be whisked up in seconds and are much more refreshing than squash. Try experimenting with different combinations of fruit to find out which flavours complement each other.

    Rainbow eating
    Coloured fruit and vegetables give us the most antioxidants and nutrients, which decrease the chances of developing chronic conditions and degenerative diseases. Make sure everything on your plate is a different colour!

    Try something new
    Next time you're in the supermarket, have a look around your fruit and veg aisle. Aim to pick up at least one piece a week which you are not familiar with. It's a perfect way of introducing new tastes to your culinary repertoire.
