Why Engage Us?

We love teaching employees how to thrive in the face of adversity. All of our programs incorporate mindfulness training and evidence-based tools from the well-researched MBSR and MBCT (mindfulness-based stress reduction and cognitive therapy) course. Our focus is always on prevention. This is our point of difference and is demonstrated in the unique way we structure our programs.

Over the years we have discovered that the most effective and proactive way to prevent injuries is to train the mind to be present. This exciting and innovative combined approach to both mental health and physical health has proven to be incredibly effective. Unlike traditional programs which do not always engage the employees and train the mind, our success can be attributed to mindfulness training which results in structural changes in the brain, reduced soft tissue injuries, greater adaptive resilience and improvements in attitude, engagement and culture.

Our work in this neuroplasticity space is exciting and innovative. We understand prevention strategies are required for sustained positive change and resilience. With significant improvements in wellness, safety, performance, productivity and injury reduction we guarantee a return on your investment (ROI).

About the Owner

Engage Health was established by Sally Cumming in 2012. Sally is the Director and lead program facilitator of programs throughout Australia and internationally.

Sally is a Certified Mindfulness Practitioner with the (MTIA) Mindfulness Training Institute of Australia. Her background as an AEP, as well as her training in cognitive-behavioural therapy and stress physiology, means she is passionate about mental wellbeing and teaching psychological resilience strategies that can be implemented into the workplace to reduce stress and improve mental health.

Sally teaches mindful leadership programs, as well as psychological resilience programs to employees across emergency services, the not-for profit, government, education and corporate sectors. She works as a mindfulness counsellor, providing training to psychologists, social workers, disability staff, specialists, WorkCover clients and individuals experiencing high levels of psychological distress, stress, anxiety, burnout, trauma and depression.

During her tertiary studies Sally obtained extensive experience in musculoskeletal, neurological, and chronic disease rehabilitation. She has had extensive experience working with government organisations, Victoria Police and the emergency services, as well as construction, mining, distribution, supply chain and food services. With over 15 years’ experience as a professional educator, facilitator, corporate presenter and health consultant, Sally has facilitated programs on various mental health, wellness and injury prevention topics.

Reviewing the market, she discovered a void in proactive mental health programs that not only reduce workplace stress and injuries but also teach prevention strategies for long-term psychological resilience and sustainability. This, coupled with her experience, training and passion for promoting mental health, led to the creation of Engage Health’s current programs.
