Kind by default
Office life is hard enough; our tone stays warm, never preachy.
About our studio
A small Berlin studio that loves quiet, useful workdays.
We started Shineherb because we kept seeing teams drowning in good intentions and back-to-back calls. So we built short, friendly programs that actually fit between meetings.
Our story
Born in a co-working space, shaped by office life
The first version of our programs was a single shared notebook of small workday rituals. People kept asking for copies, then for live sessions, and finally for a full library their teams could plug into.
Today our studio runs from Friedrichstraße in Berlin and partners with offices across Europe and North America, but the spirit is the same: small habits, run gently, repeated often.
- Founded by experienced workplace facilitators and writers.
- Programs co-designed with operations and people teams.
- Reviewed every quarter to stay current and kind.
