Bring SoulPaws® to your team!

Employees, particularly in hybrid and remote environments, are increasingly grappling with a profound sense of isolation and disconnection. This lack of genuine relationship-building often reduces collaboration to mere transactional exchanges, eroding trust and a sense of belonging. Compounding are the feelings of stress and burnout, which leaves team members "mentally elsewhere" and unable to access the focus or creativity needed for high-level problem-solving. Ultimately, the relentless grind of deadlines leads to a loss of perspective, where teams overlook their own resilience and fail to recognize the small wins and moments of joy that sustain long-term morale.

At SoulPaws, we've customized workplace wellness sessions to address these concerns by unleashing the healing power of the human-animal connection.

What Happens During
Your SoulPaws Session

Broadcast live from Frosted Faces Foundation, a senior dog sanctuary in Southern California, your team will experience our evidence-informed Calm → Connect → Heal framework, adapted from Dr. Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model.

CALM: Regulation & Grounding (15-20 minutes)

Guided mindfulness meditation led by Founder Shannon Kopp helps participants regulate their nervous systems and move out of fight-or-flight mode through:

Visual connection with calm, peaceful senior dogs in their sanctuary environment naturally reduces cortisol and activates relaxation
Grounding exercises create a felt sense of safety in the body, allowing participants to access clearer thinking and better decision-making

CONNECT: Building Trust & Belonging (20-25 minutes)

During the connection segment, your team can build trust and belong through:

Structured sharing opportunities in small breakout groups create psychological safety
Participants can bring their own pets on camera (optional) and share stories, creating authentic moments of connection
Witnessing the senior dogs together provides a shared emotional experience that bonds team members
Facilitated discussion helps teams reflect on what connection means and how to cultivate it in their work

HEAL: Perspective & Renewal (20-30 minutes)

This segment centers on one senior rescue dog's inspiring story and connects it to a workplace-relevant theme. We'll work with you to select the theme that best fits your team's needs:

Finding Joy in the Little Things: Participants reflect on small moments of joy they overlook and identify one "small joy" to notice each day
Second Chances: Teams explore how second chances apply to their work: recovering from setbacks, trying again after failure, embracing new beginnings
Compassion: Participants examine self-compassion during stress and extending empathy and grace to colleagues, with an actionable commitment for the week ahead
Gratitude: Guided gratitude practices help shift perspective from scarcity to abundance, with interactive exercises and sharing
