Dr. Rebecca Chabot delivers measurable ROI through evidence-based wellness strategies that reduce organisational costs while enhancing performance. She translates neuroscience and behavioural research into actionable interventions that address the $190 billion annual cost of workplace stress.
Dr. Chabot has partnered with 30+ organisations, including government departments, professional associations, and corporations across multiple sectors, to implement wellness programs that deliver quantifiable results: 25-30% reductions in absenteeism, improved retention rates, and documented productivity gains.
Her approach combines scientific rigor with practical application. Rather than generic wellness advice, Dr. Chabot provides teams with evidence-based tools for stress regulation, cognitive optimisation, and sustainable high performance. Her presentations and programs address critical business challenges: leadership burnout, psychological safety, team resilience, and the cultural transformation required for long-term organisational success.
Dr. Chabot's client portfolio includes RACT, Department of Police Fire & Emergency Management, Tourism Tasmania, CPA Australia, Cancer Council Tasmania, Australian HR Institute, Law Society of Tasmania, Australian Computer Society, and Mental Health Council of Tasmania. She is a regular contributor to ABC Radio Tasmania and maintains professional memberships with the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD), Women Chiefs of Enterprises International (WCEI) and Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA).
Dr. Chabot's work doesn't just improve wellbeing—it strengthens performance, reduces risk, and creates competitive advantage through a healthier, more resilient workforce. Her programs empower individuals and teams to reduce stress, boost productivity, and adopt proactive, daily wellness habits. By reshaping daily routines, participants experience profound improvements in focus, motivation, and overall health. Through her guidance, organisations strengthen connections, rebuild confidence, and create a culture of wellness that supports happier, healthier, and more productive lives.
“Mindfulness for me is a way of life. My practice enables me a deeper awareness of my thoughts and emotions, and therefore of my actions.
Once we are aware of what’s going on inside, we can take the reins and change what needs to be changed in our lives. In this way, we are always growing, learning and becoming a better version of ourselves. ”
