Wellness in the Workplace - Bickley Consulting

Over the years Naomi has been invited to facilitate workshops for a variety of professional groups on the importance of mindfulness for mental health & wellbeing.

Wellness in the workplace is becoming more important with the rise of anxiety and stress in many workplaces. With over 20 years of mindfulness practice in her own personal life, Naomi is able to create workshops and facilities to help create a more mindful, and happy workplace.

Case Study

Murdoch Veterinary College

Naomi has been integral to the Veterinary Professional Life course since its inception in 2009. Veterinarians have a high rate of depression, anxiety and suicidality and the VPL units aim to equip the vet students with personal resources that can help to prevent or address these issues.

One of the main features of this course is a three-day camp, with a major focus upon positive psychology, self-awareness, resilience and gratitude. Naomi has developed and delivered an evolving program centred around these themes, and the student engagement in the program is rewarding to see. Naomi also provides ad hoc counselling to students during the camp, with students often seeking her out.

"Naomi is essential to the success of the VPL, and staff and students are in awe of her skill, compassion and ability to empower.”

— Melinda Bell, College of Veterinary Medicine, Murdoch University

“The best part of my job is seeing my clients flourish. They lead their teams better, they’re happier, they find more of a work life balance, improve their communication styles and workplace relationships and they are able to get the best from their teams even when the pressure is intense and everyone is working at capacity.”
