Your Stress Management Specialist

With all the change happening so quickly around us today, feelings of anxiety and stress are on the rise. I can show you ways to help find a place of more peace and resilience in your body and mind.

Yoga is a time-tested way to improve physical mobility and balance. It also enhances the mind/body connection, which is important at every age, but even more so as we grow older. Being aware of how you move through space helps you navigate the world with more safety and confidence. It teaches you to pay attention to the little aches and pains before they become big aches and pains! Yoga can be done in a group, in private sessions; on the floor with yoga mats, or in a chair! Let me help you find your way to improved strength, balance and mobility at any age.

Meditation is another practice that has proved its worth over time. Setting aside time to be quiet, taking your attention away from the day-to-day worries and concerns, is beneficial for both mental and emotional health. Regular meditation has been shown to bring many benefits, including improved mental acuity, better emotional regulation, and that all-important feeling of calm and peace.

Energy work such as Reiki and EFT/Tapping have also been shown to help regulate the nervous system. Any of these practices, alone or in tandem, can help develop a better quality of life with more energy and confidence.

Whether it’s a regular yoga practice, meditation, EFT/Tapping, or Energy Work, let me help you find what works best for you, now. These practices are simple, non-invasive, and can be part of your regular daily routine to help you feel more balanced and in-control. They are an excellent adjunct to — NOT a replacement for — any other care you are under; please continue to follow the advice of your medical professional.

Talk to me!

EFT/Tapping: Calm your nervous system, eliminate fears and phobias, and move through your life with more ease in body and mind by applying these exciting skills.

Online Group Yoga Classes: If time and money are the things keeping you from a regular yoga practice, join these online yoga classes! No commute, and only $15 per class.

Private Sessions: Personal attention means so much! You progress faster, you can address sensitive concerns, and you get the full focus of the teacher. Try it for Yoga, Meditation, EFT, or a combo!

Labyrinth Walks: Take a private or guided walk on the J Howard Holistic Backyard Labyrinth! Please call ahead for directions and regulations. The labyrinth is on private property; no drop-ins please!!

Reiki: Reiki works on the subtle energy body, balancing the chakras (energy centers) and allowing space for the body and mind to heal. Reiki can be done from a distance; I lead you through a relaxing meditation over the phone as the Reiki energies are beamed to you. Sounds weird, but you will feel the benefits after a session.

You have more control over how you feel than you might think!

Do you have:

Sore joints, poor digestion, low energy?

Foggy brain, irritability and impatience?

High stress and anxiety, or mild depression?

What are you missing out on because of issues you blame on the aging process? Do you skip family activities because you’re too stiff and achy to keep up? Have you decided that waking up with aching fingers and joints is just how it is going to be from now on? Is your doctor starting to make noises about putting you on meds that you thought you were years away from?

What are you going to do about it? You have choices. You can continue to do what you’ve been doing, and continue to feel the same. Or . . .

Or you can take charge of this phase of your life, just like you’ve taken charge of your other life phases in the past.
