More about us
Aum Wellbeing Consultancy was founded by Hansa Pankhania, a recognised corporate wellbeing expert, speaker and author with over 20 years’ experience. She draws on her Eastern heritage; integrating Eastern and Western influences to deliver effective solutions to organisations nationwide.
In 2005, she was inspired to set up AUM Wellbeing Consultancy, through a burning desire to help make a difference to society, by using her extensive skills in corporate wellbeing and mental health. Now the consultancy specialise in leading edge programmes in stress management, corporate resilience training, mental health courses and mindfulness based wellbeing packages offered through coaching, training and consultancy.
‘’I hate to see organisations where people are not fulfilling their purpose and potential due to stress and mental health issues. Many organisations are unaware of the actual costs to their business and of the dramatic savings that can be made by effectively managing stress at work at an early stage. The interventions we pass on, not only reduce stress and increase productivity but also help to create a culture at work which fosters motivational behaviour, trust and loyalty.
My interest in stress management training and wellbeing started, when I was going through a stressful phase, so I went onto research Stress Management for my university degree. I began to help people through coaching and training to be stress free and successful. After working with over 250 companies, countless managers, employees and publishing 7 books on resilience, mindfulness and wellbeing, my passion for this work is still compelling.’’
