Noordwyk wellness specialist tackles workplace burnout
From boardroom tears to shared breakthroughs, a local entrepreneur is helping employees find healing where they spend most of their days.
For eight years, corporate wellness specialist Jessica Dlamini (32) has been walking into boardrooms where people smile on the outside – but are breaking on the inside.
Dlamini, founder of The Workbox Corporate Wellness, is on a mission to change that. She is helping employees find healing where they spend most of their days… At work. Her consultancy is not about posters or a once-a-year talk. It is about real people, real pain, and real healing.

“I started The Workbox because I saw too many employees suffering in silence,” says Dlamini. “People were burnt out, anxious, overwhelmed, but they had to smile and keep working.”
Through The Workbox, Dlamini designs corporate wellness days, team-building experiences and workplace mental health programmes. Her work focuses on mental health awareness, emotional well-being and holistic wellness – while helping employers create healthier and more productive workplaces.
“When you take care of the people who keep the business running, the business runs better,” she says. “Wellness is not a luxury; it is a necessity.”

Dlamini has walked into boardrooms, factories and offices across the country, creating safe spaces where employees can breathe, talk, heal and grow. “I have seen people cry, open up for the first time, and finally feel seen,” she says. “That moment when someone realises they are not alone – that is my reward.”
Living in Noordwyk, Dlamini is a Midrand woman building a business with purpose while changing lives.
“My mission is simple,” she says. “To help businesses take care of their people, because when people are well, everything else follows.”
From Noordwyk to boardrooms across South Africa, Dlamini is not just talking about wellness; she is living it, leading it, and making sure no employee struggles alone.
