The DK is a global offering designed for companies and their employees. The DK Wellness Collective Team, integral to the DK product, consists of highly skilled experts dedicated to enhancing employee wellness and mental health through their complementary skill sets. Today, the DK’s clients are companies, as the DK’s mission is management’s implementation dedicated to addressing trauma, ensuring sustainable employee wellness and cultivating corporate resilience.

The DK Wellness Collective Team is made up of a small medical part: a psychiatrist and medical practitioner with mental health and trauma background; and highly skilled therapists and coaches, with a corporate background who make up the team’s core and provide support to company employees throughout the intervention.

Our team of highly qualified trauma specialists, led by Désirée Kogevinas, offers interventions lasting from one to four weeks. This collaboration creates a unique atmosphere of care, where individuals are confidentially heard and supported, either in individual sessions or in small, safe groups. Those undergoing therapy often experience positive transformations, finding freedom, truth, and authenticity, alongside a reduction or elimination of secondary symptoms, such as frequent illness or depression.

The DK model can serve various clients, from countries to private individuals, and it can apply to a range of issues, such as education and longevity, if improving clients’ wellbeing and making clients profitable is part of the process.
