Rose Eskafi
Wellbeing budgets keep growing while burnout, attrition, and disengagement keep getting worse. The gap is rarely about programme volume. It is about whether what gets delivered actually meets people where stress, identity, and pressure intersect, or whether it sits on the surface as another perk.
Rose Eskafi is a trauma-informed mindfulness practitioner and founder of Still Chill who helps organisations build wellbeing programmes that move beyond perks into measurable cultural practice.

Biography
Most workplace wellbeing offers are pitched at the wrong layer. They sit between perk and content and rarely touch the conditions that produce burnout, disengagement, or attrition. Rose Eskafi’s work starts at that deeper layer, where stress regulation, identity, and culture meet.
She is the founder of Still Chill, a consultancy that designs mindfulness, compassion, and trauma-informed programmes for corporate teams. Clients have included LUSH, Snapchat, and Nike. The approach pairs an MSc in Mindfulness and Compassion with a BSc in Psychology, so the practical tools are anchored in clinical evidence rather than wellness language.
Before Still Chill, she was Head of People and Wellbeing at gal-dem, where she ran the people function for a working organisation rather than consulting from the outside. That operating background shapes the work. Programmes are designed to fit how HR and people teams actually deliver, not as set-piece talks that leave the room when the speaker does.
She teaches in line with the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teachers’ good practice guidelines and is trained in self-compassion and racial trauma, which gives her a clearer line on the questions corporate wellbeing usually avoids: how identity, pressure, and belonging interact for the people sitting in the room.
