We made the switch to Mindway
"We recently made the switch to Mindway and couldn't be happier with the decision. The setup process was seamless, and the transition felt really well supported from the outset. Feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive, which has been fantastic to see. The additional resources, like leadership webinars and structured annual planning schedules, have added real value at an organisational level."

Was a breeze
"Setting up Mindway for our clinic was a very easy process. Everyone loves the app with all of its different meditations, sleep support and daily emotion tracker. Quite a few of the team have utilised the counselling services and found the whole process very simple. I can highly recommend this company."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly responsive and well supported
"Ryder has been great and responsive to work with while setting up the EAP from a management perspective. I have had a great response from staff who have shared with me that they have used both the app and counselling services, noting that it has helped them a lot."
