FAQ

That’s something people sometimes wonder and I completely understand. But the meditation used at Chief Well-Being is down-to-earth, practical and evidence-based. I work with simple techniques that fit seamlessly into a professional setting, focused on calm, clarity, resilience and connection.

What’s more, science shows that meditation has a powerful effect on well-being and performance. In Buddha’s Brain, neuropsychologist Rick Hanson describes how meditation structurally strengthens the brain: it reduces stress, improves emotional balance and increases focus.

As one participant put it:

“I remember signing up for the program because it interested me, but I was afraid it would be a bit too ‘floaty’ for me. I told Kathinka this during the first session and she responded with such ease and openness. That was a real relief! Thanks to Kathinka, I experienced how good meditation can feel. I would absolutely recommend the program and working with Kathinka. She has a great approach, even for those who think meditation isn’t for them. She radiates calm and positivity.”

That’s a very valid question. Many organizations already offer something around mental well-being: often in the form of an app, stand-alone workshops, or coaching. Valuable? Yes! But these interventions are often individual, isolated, and focused on short-term symptom relief like stress reduction or absenteeism.

Chief Well-Being offers something fundamentally different:
a structural, connected and strategically embedded approach that creates real, lasting change.

Here’s how I make the difference:

Not a stand-alone fix, but sustainable behavioral change
I combine meditation with insights from Learning & Development. This results in long-term behavioral shifts, helping employees truly come to rest, and apply what they’ve learned at work and at home.

Woven into culture and strategic goals
These programs are designed to connect well-being to your broader organizational goals, leadership and culture. They're supported top-down and bottom-up, so it’s not just another HR initiative, but a shared ambition.

Your personal well-being business partner
I’m not a one-off trainer who disappears after a session. I support you before, during and after the program with strategic input, follow-up and long-term partnership. This isn’t a product. It’s a collaboration.

Measurable and results-driven
I measure before, during and after. The programs are not only inspiring, they’re demonstrably effective, with visible impact on calm, balance and self-leadership.

One clear path, no scattered offerings
Instead of a maze of disconnected options, I offer one clear, supported journey that brings people together, builds direction and allows for lasting growth.

Chief Well-Being isn’t an add-on, it’s a deepening. A strong foundation under your well-being strategy, fully connected to your mission.

Not necessarily and that’s exactly the strength of it. The programs of Chief Well-Being are not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a carefully designed offering for organizations that truly want to invest in well-being.

These programs are best suited for organizations that:
-See well-being as a strategic priority
-Seek lasting behavioral change rather than a one-off intervention
-Want to strengthen connection, reflection, balance and self-leadership
-Are open to a fresh, human-centered approach

The programs are accessible to everyone: whether or not you have experience with meditation. Participants don’t need to “know” or “do” anything. All they need is a willingness to be curious about what silence and attention can bring.

What Chief Well-Being is not:
Not a standalone moment of relaxation.

This approach is about depth, integration and real transformation in a way that fits your people, your mission and your culture.

As I participant shared: “I spoke with several participants each with their own story and motivation for joining. What touched me most was how the program contributed something meaningful to every single one of them, in their own way.”
