In the contemporary corporate environment, the notion of wellness is frequently limited to superficial measures such as gym memberships, insurance benefits, and occasional wellness workshops. Nevertheless, genuine wellness encompasses much more than just the physical aspect. Ain Hasshim, the founder of Kefi Meraki Wellness Consultant, exemplifies a more profound, holistic approach. Her transition from a nurse at Singapore’s Institute of Mental Health to a corporate professional, and ultimately, a wellness consultant, underscores the significant impact of addressing wellness in its entirety. Here is her compelling narrative.
In this demanding environment, Ain’s passion for mental health advocacy blossomed. She began to delve into the beautiful tapestry of wellness, discovering how emotional, psychological, and spiritual elements are intricately woven together, and how they could be embraced in a more compassionate and holistic approach to care.
The corporate wellness programs she encountered seemed to miss the heart of the matter—they overlooked the mental and emotional needs of employees and failed to foster a culture where these needs could be openly embraced. During this period, Ain herself felt the weight of burnout and stress, a struggle familiar to many in high-pressure environments. This stark contrast between her nurturing healthcare background and the corporate world deepened her appreciation for the holistic nature of wellness.
Through her dedicated practice of yoga and meditation, Ain discovered the profound and delicate connection between body, mind, and spirit. She realized that true wellness is about nurturing all these aspects to weave a harmonious life. Her journey opened her eyes to the reality that challenges like financial strain, stunted personal growth, and a lack of supportive surroundings can deeply affect one's mental and emotional well-being.
In 2024, with a heart full of passion and a wealth of diverse experiences, Ain founded Kefi Meraki Wellness Consultant. Her dream was simple yet profound: to help organisations craft wellness programs as unique and special as the individuals they serve. She realised that many HR teams struggled to see the true impact of wellness initiatives because they often followed fleeting trends instead of genuinely understanding the heartfelt needs of their employees.
Ain and her dedicated team are genuinely thrilled to share their heartfelt expertise, helping organisations craft wellness programs that truly touch the hearts of their employees. By embracing holistic wellness and appreciating the beautiful interconnectedness of its many facets, they aspire to help organisations cultivate a culture of unity, harmony, and vibrant growth.
"Ain Hasshim’s journey beautifully illustrates that true wellness is a deeply personal and unique experience for everyone. It calls for a compassionate and thoughtful approach that honours the distinct needs of each person and organisation. At Kefi Meraki Wellness Consultant, Ain and her devoted team pour their hearts into transforming workplace wellness, guiding organisations to reach their fullest potential."
