Why Mindfulness Matters
We live in a world of endless to do lists, notifications and the chase for ‘more’ to be happy. We’re here to remind you of what really matter, at home, work and the places in-between.
Mindfulness at work
Today’s workplaces are fast-paced, high-pressure, and constantly “on.” Without the right support, your team’s wellbeing and performance suffer. That’s where mindfulness comes in.
At Joyful Collective, we bring practical, science-backed mindfulness training to teams in Auckland, Hamilton and many places in-between— helping your people feel calmer, think clearly, and lead with greater presence.

What our clients say:
“We had Danica run group mindfulness sessions and had awesome repeat attendance when she came back into our office. She creates a calm, mindful setting, allowing people to be present and safe. She left us with some great skills and practices that we’ve taken away!
We are looking forward to getting her back soon!”
– Brent Westein / Senior People & Culture Business Partner – Connexa
Add some joy to your next conference
“I loved working with the Joyful Collective who helped create a mindful moment for attendees during their conference.
Everyone enjoyed the session, and you could feel the sense of calm in the room. Attendees were given really useful tools and information to takeaway and digest and use in their day to day lives.
I 100% recommend working with Nick and Danica if you’re looking to incorporate mindfulness at your work or your next event”
