Mindfulness at work programs

Mindfulness is a practical way to build resilience, focus, and calm in demanding workplaces. At Breathe Australia, our mindfulness programs help leaders and teams stay present, manage pressure, and bring a clear, grounded approach to their work.

These programs are led by Andy Roberts, who combines corporate, academic, and personal experience. Andy began his career as a Director in Corporate Finance at KPMG, working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. He later completed a Masters in Positive Psychology, giving him a strong evidence base for understanding how people learn, grow, and thrive.

For more than eight years, Andy taught medical students at James Cook University. He designed and delivered a mindfulness program that was researched and published. The results showed a rise in student resilience and a reduction in stigma around mental health. 

Andy has delivered mindfulness training across the mining industry, healthcare, and the care sector. Each program is adapted to the realities of the workplace — whether that means shift work, high-risk operations, or leadership challenges. The aim is simple: help people build focus, emotional regulation, and psychological resilience through everyday practices.

Alongside his corporate and academic work, Andy has been a yoga teacher for over 20 years and is an accredited Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion teacher through Dr Kristin Neff’s program. This mix of practice and professional experience means his sessions are grounded, authentic, and practical.
