Find the courage to live boldly, create fearlessly and lead with heart
Mind-Body Medicine
Mind-Body Medicine is designed to help you reduce stress, manage anxiety and heal from the effects of trauma. The skills you will learn also improve your self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-efficacy helping you transform your life, professional career and relationships to their best expression. These skills help you feel anchored into your every day ‘now’, manage difficult situations, improve leadership skills and find more joy in being.
This comprehensive model harnesses the fundamental principles and basic science of Mind-Body skills to teach you different techniques of mindfulness, movement, guided imagery, biofeedback, mindful eating, spirituality and self expression in words, drawing and movement that will free you from a fear-based mindset and aligns your mind-body-soul existence to its most courageous version.
If you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected from your self, have detached from your emotions, have been under extended stress, suffer from anxiety, need to release past pain or trauma, are not feeling self-love, want to return to your true self, want to reduce anger or want to increase compassion and self-awareness, this workshop is for you!
