About Health Savvy

Wellbeing built around how your people actually work.

Health Savvy was founded to bridge the gap between what the science of wellbeing knows and what most workplaces ever get to use. Practical, plain-English, evidence-based — and fully customisable to the language, tone and culture of any organisation, anywhere.

Who's behind it

Michelle Yorke

Director and founder of Health Savvy. A wellness practitioner with twenty-five years of experience across consulting, advisory and social-impact roles — translating the science of wellbeing into tools and habits that real teams will actually use.

Michelle's career spans private-sector consulting, executive advisory, and social-impact work in multiple countries — supporting leaders, teams and organisations across very different cultural and operating contexts. That breadth shapes everything Health Savvy puts out: content that travels well, language that adapts, and programmes that flex around the realities of your people instead of demanding they flex around the programme.

Her work bridges the gap between research and the realities of a working day — from boardrooms to call centres, factory floors to fleet drivers. The result is wellness content that sounds like a useful colleague, not a clinical lecture.

Health Savvy programmes are designed to slot into existing HR and people rhythms, not compete with them. Short, sharp, science-based touchpoints that build wellbeing culture quietly and consistently over time — and customisable to any sector, any size, any geography.

What you can expect

  • A direct relationship. You'll work with Michelle directly — no account-management chain, no handovers.
  • Honest scope. If a programme isn't the right fit, we'll say so — and point you at what is.
  • Customisable to your context. Tone, language, examples and channels flex around your team and your culture, not the other way round.
  • Plain-English everything. Decks, emails, posters — written so your team can use them the same day.
  • Twenty-five years of experience across consulting, advisory and social-impact work in multiple countries — applied to wellbeing the way it should be: practical and human.
The approach

Tools, not lectures.

Most workplace wellness fails because it's too theoretical, too clinical, or too one-off. Here's how Health Savvy is different.

Evidence-led

Every programme, every Digest, every poster is grounded in peer-reviewed science. We tell you where the evidence comes from — no hand-waving, no buzzwords.

Practical, not preachy

We give your team tools they can use today — short actions that fit into the workday, not principles to think about and forget by Friday.

Customisable, anywhere

Every programme can be adapted to your sector, language and culture. From a global head office to a single regional team — same depth, different fit.
