Join me for a Stress, Energy & Wellbeing Reset -

Cortisol ‘The Stress Hormone’ we cant live without it, but it sure causes issues when were hanging on to too much of it.

Stress you see, whether its a big stress or a little stress is something our body is used to dealing with & responding to. The bodies physical responses to big or little stresses in life are the same and meant to be temporary i.e. we encounter a stressor, our body responds by prioritising the hormones and bodily responses that help us deal with that stress, dials down on the hormones and bodily functions that are less of a priority at that particular moment.

This is how its always worked for thousands of years, however life has changed. Now we tend to have lots of little stresses building up alongside the more occasional big stresses and the problem is we are now more chronically stressed and this causes a whole host of issues with our sleep, skin, digestions, energy, mood and physical health. Cortisol is not being restored to normal levels, instead its remaining elevated for longer or even remaining constantly high.

The good news is you can reset and balance your cortisol levels very effectively and naturally. You can learn to manage your physical and emotional response to big and little stresses, so its not quite so detrimental to your health and I can show you how.

These retreats focus on the key principles of Resetting & Balancing your stress, energy & wellbeing, providing you with a toolkit of realistic, effective and feel good practices that you can use in your everyday life.

These key principles are - Breath, Movement, Mindfulness, Nourishing Physical and Emotional Self Care.

Drawing from my experience of Breathwork, Yoga, Mindful Movement, Chinese & Western Nutrition, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Gua Sha Skin & Body Acupressure and self care. We explore a variety of practices that cultivate healthy habits to Stress Less, Stay Well and Feel Good.
