How We Help

We ally with companies and organizations to build happy and healthy teams through customized wellness services.

Small changes are what ultimately shift your whole life.

Small Changes Big Shifts is a wellness organization focused on whole-person health.  Our mission is simple: to see people come fully alive and live their best lives – at home, at work, and in the community.

While striving to be healthy can feel daunting, we see that when broken down into small steps and nurtured along the way, people are able to create a sustainable lifetime of well-being.

We ally with groups and organizations to help build happy, healthy, and productive teams. Our wellness organization also helps leaders shine by creating a transparent layer between team members that opens the door to more kindness and connection in the organization.

Your needs and team culture are unique – just like our programs.

As with well-being, there is not one-size-fits-all need for a company’s wellness plan.

To best support your individual needs and goals, we start with an initial consultation to learn more, then we customize and co-design a program that will be the best fit for your organization.

While we offer a variety of keynote presentations and workshops, we encourage the learning to go further by integrating virtual learning programs, small group learning circles, and reinforcement resources.

We strive to create a community with your team to have a supportive journey, rather than letting them do it solo. In fact, researchers say banding together is a natural need and has always been part of our human history.

Who We Serve

We partner with human resource professionals, benefits managers, business owners, and leaders in school districts and spiritual communities to help positively impact individuals in their organizations and communities to help them put the odds in their favor to be well and stay well, at home and at work.

We partner with organizations that prioritze the health of their team’s well-being and whose values center around making a positive difference, starting first with their companies and the people within them.

Life’s brevity is its greatest gift, reminding us to savor each moment and live with intention. Jodi Wellman, founder of 4000 Mondays, inspires us to embrace the finite nature of life as a tool for living boldly and purposefully. Drawing from her expertise as a positive psychology practitioner, Jodi shares how practicing gratitude, savoring everyday experiences, and creating meaningful routines can transform how we experience time. She challenges us to use the awareness of our limited Mondays not to stress but to prioritize joy, connection, and the things that truly matter.

Key Highlights:

  1. Use "mortality math" to heighten your awareness of time and create urgency to pursue meaningful goals.
  2. Shake up routines with novelty to add vibrancy and excitement to everyday life.
  3. Gratitude letters are a powerful way to deepen relationships and enhance personal well-being.
  4. Savoring the mundane—like enjoying a favorite drink or completing a simple chore—can provide surprising joy and fulfillment.
  5. Boldness and intentionality are essential for living a life that feels complete and regret-free.
