Virtual Wellness

In our changing work environment, it is critical for employees to be given opportunities to connect and thrive. From satellite offices to remote workers, people feel more disconnected.

The Virtual Wellness & Stress Management offerings from The Back Rub Company are strategically designed to provide participants with a wide variety of virtual workshops and demonstrations focused on holistic wellness and stress management. Even if you have an all-remote team, hybrid workers or multiple satellite offices across the country, bringing your employees together has never been easier.

Our Virtual Wellness offerings are perfect for satellite offices, remote or hybrid workers and to bring your team together in a live and interactive setting; nothing is pre-recorded. This keeps employees engaged and ensures a customized program to encourage better attendance. Employees feel as if they are in the room alongside the facilitator.

Each of these services are available both as an on-site offering and as a virtual program, with customization to suite your team and needs. Our virtual programs are offered via Zoom.

With our virtual cooking demonstrations, your employees will learn healthy cooking skills using their own kitchen and equipment!

Our array of cooking demos will inspire your team to develop better eating habits, stronger cooking abilities and a focus on healthy eating at home.

These next virtual wellness classes are available exclusively through The Back Rub Company. Led by our expert facilitator, Carmen, these courses have been designed to address the challenges of modern work environments, including prolonged screen time and constant mobile devise use.

Carmen developed these virtual wellness classes during COVID to support individuals in transition to remote work. As the sole creator and instructor, she brings her unique expertise and insight to each session to ensure an effective experience for participants.

These sessions are always live and virtual. If your employees are in the Phoenix-metro area, Carmen can facilitate these programs on-site.
