Why Mental Well-being Matters in the Workplace
In today’s fast-paced world, taking care of mental health isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. More and more corporations, including Google, Four Seasons, Gucci, and Nike, are recognizing this and weaving wellness programs like yoga and sound healing into their workplace culture. The results? Happier, more engaged employees and a healthier work environment.
When companies prioritize mental well-being, they often see:
Better Productivity – When employees feel supported, they can focus better, work more efficiently, and contribute more meaningfully as a community.
Higher Retention – A workplace that values well-being fosters job satisfaction, lowers stress, and reduces absenteeism.
Stronger Performance – Investing in employee wellness creates a ripple effect—boosting morale, engagement, and even financial outcomes.
Living and working in a fast-moving city like Singapore has its perks, but it also comes with high demands and constant pressure to keep up. While we focus on growing our professional skills and staying ahead, our mental and emotional well-being often take a backseat.
But what if we could strengthen our minds and bodies while managing stress more effectively? In his studies, Dr Bruce Lipton, the highly respected cell biologist concluded that 95% of all diseases are linked to stress. He explains that prolonged stress disrupts the body's regulatory systems, weakens the immune system, and makes individuals more susceptible to chronic conditions, making it more important than ever to take proactive steps toward well-being. Furthermore, Sound healing and other holistic practices offer a simple yet powerful way to create balance, resilience, and a healthier work-life experience.
How Sound Therapy Can Help
Sound Healing is an effective practice that uses sound and vibrations to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Sound has the power to engage both sides of the brain, boosting creativity and inspiration while also activating the hippocampus, a key region for memory. On a physical level, it promotes deep relaxation, with sound waves easily traveling through the body, which, being largely made up of water, naturally conducts sound efficiently.
Incorporating Sound Healing into corporate wellness programs can:
Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Studies have shown that sound healing can significantly lower stress levels. And stress is one of the leading causes of burnt-out, which can increase absenteeism, anxiety, and decreased job satisfaction. Find out more from psychologytoday.com
Improve Mental Clarity: Participants often report enhanced focus and mental clarity after sessions improving cognitive ability
Stress Reduction: Calms the mind and helps regulate stress responses
Emotional Balance: Soothes anxiety, improves mood, and fosters resilience
Improved Sleep: Encourages better rest, reducing burnout risk
Team Bonding: Creates shared experiences of mindfulness and calm

Heartfelt thanks to Carrie Choong from Gentlehabitspace for visiting #NIQ Singapore office and guiding us through a sensory Meditative Sound journey. The gentle tones of singing bowls, gong and water instruments created a calming reset for both mind and body. Within minutes, the atmosphere shifted as the soft vibration filled the room - quieter minds with breath slowed, and everyone shared a sense of inner stillness within our own space. We walked away with a simple and yet powerful reminder that even a small act of #selfcare can make a big impact on our wellbeing and focus.

We engaged Carrie to conduct an introductory Sound Bath Therapy session in our office. I loved how the sounds from the various instruments i.e. Himalayan singing bowls, Gong, Wind chimes, 9-bar swinging chimes rod and Ocean drum, brings all of us into a state of relaxation. In addition, Carrie's calm and gentle voice tone definitely aided me to be full immersed into the session. I felt lighthearted thereafter and was calmer and more focused when doing my work through the rest of the day. I strongly encourage anyone who is new to sound bath therapy to give it a try with Carrie's introductory session! :)

The session with Carrie was quite an out of body experience! I experienced a state of deep relaxation and inner calm. It feels as though the stress begins to melts away, leaving a sense of lightness and clarity. At the end of the session, one can’t help but feel some release of inner tension and mental clutter. It leaves you feeling rejuvenated, energised.

Carrie is professional and experienced. Managed to have a good night sleep and great relaxation after the session. Space and sound were well utilized and had a great experience! Recommended quite a few of my friends and they said they had a calming time as well. Highly recommend!

I felt incredibly rejuvenated afterward. It was like I had slept for 20 hours—my body was totally relaxed. One of the most interesting parts was feeling the vibration of the beats from the singing bowls, which was such a unique and soothing sensation. I loved it.

A sound bath session sounded interesting, so I joined to find out what it is about. it was definitely a very calming and relaxing experience! I left the session feeling refreshed and with a newfound appreciation for the power of sound healing. The hands-on experience with the instruments used in the session made the experience more immersive and engaging.
A Meaningful activity in Employee Wellness
Integrating Sound Healing into the workplace provides employees with tools to manage stress and improve well-being, contributing to a healthier work culture. Small improvements in mental health can have a significant positive impact on both individuals and the organization.
Our sound session are deeply relaxing session where employees are “bathed” in the soothing vibrations of Himalayan Singing Bowls, ocean drums, chimes, and Gong. During sessions, the sound frequencies and vibrations carefully played through the selected instruments, are sent to gently entrained brainwaves into a state of deep relaxation, inviting a tapestry of visualisations, realisations and profound insights.
Every session can be tailored made to meet your team’s requirement, and can be conducted during lunch breaks as a a mid-day mental resets, or after work hours. Drop me an enquiry or contact me for a consultation.
