Stress is a reaction within a person to an outer experience. In learning about how we feel about certain events and how we react to them is a vital part of gaining insight into the ability to create your own peaceful, fulfilling life.
Mindfulness and Coaching tools to deal with both the roots of stress and the reactions to stress can help to smooth out the feelings associated with stress and begin to transform our relationship to all the stressors that are in our lives and learn to manage everything with more ease.
Stress can sometimes be overwhelming. Maybe its stress from work, from a recent medical diagnosis, strife in the family, or trying to take a new step in life. I work with clients on how to manage the stress and give them tools to operate while when they feel the stress.
Life stressors come up consistently. We can’t control the fact that stress arises, but we can work on how we cope with it and get through it. My goal is to help support you through it and work towards managing and reducing it as much as possible.
I have found that one of the greatest contributors to stress is in over-extending ourselves. We live in a society that values productivity and "staying busy". There is so much value in slowing down, in checking in with ourselves, in engaging in mindfulness. I will work with you on creating more balance so that you can reclaim your life, your mind, and your energy.
