Spiritual Wellness Programs - Often times worksite health promotion programs don’t address the spiritual dimension of wellness. Some people would argue that the spiritual dimension is the most important, and at minimum, it affects the other five dimensions. Jackie has created unique spiritual wellness programs available to businesses and organizations. Our spiritual wellness programs consist of the “4 Cs:” Centeredness, Creativity, Community and Caring. Each of our program offerings covers these four components.

To help businesses and organizations promote spiritual wellness for their employees and members, Jackie Hook can provide a variety of programs, including:

For employers, this program will address how forgiveness can affect the well-being of your organization.
