Resolving Stress - a mind-body approach

“The ability to return to regulation is the essence of resilience.” Deb Dana
Everyday experiences can trigger dysregulation of the nervous system, these can include going to work, getting your children ready for school, having too many responsibilities, being alone….and so the list goes on. This means that the body’s stress responses are often triggered frequently throughout the day, often outside of one’s conscious awareness. When the body’s stress responses are continually triggered like this, your nervous system takes you into ‘survival mode’. Living in survival mode is exhausting. It could leave you feeling hypervigilant, anxious, reactive and unable to relax or you could end up completely numb to all emotion and feeling very disconnected from yourself and others.
I have created a nurturing 6-week group program designed to bring you out of survival mode and help you feel more present, increase your capacity to cope with everyday experiences and feel more energised and stable in life.
You will learn;
Proven strategies to manage and reduce stress
Techniques to regulate the nervous system
Ways to increase resilience and emotional capacity
Practical tools to create a balanced and fulfilling life

“Neena’s course came at the right time to develop a better understanding of mind - body - stress links and to acquire some tools to work with moving forward. I thoroughly enjoyed Neena’s style and approach and would happily recommend.”
Here’s what Jacqui said
Solicitor and Mum
“I was attracted to Neena’s program after I heard her speak because she sounded such an interesting person. I wanted some time and space for myself and hoped the program would help me cope with the stress I am under and can do nothing about. The program has delivered in spadefuls. I feel calmer generally and have learnt how to calm myself down when the stress builds so that it doesn’t overwhelm me. Neena is a lovely person to be around and her venue is both beautiful and relaxing. The whole experience was wonderful and I would recommend it to everyone!”
Here’s what Megan said
“I was going through a particularly difficult time with my stress and anxiety and I knew when I met Neena I had to sign up. This workshop was super helpful in giving me all the tools to be able to handle my stress on my own whether that be in my personal or my work life. I had never considered how great the effects that times in my life had on the way I felt and all the emotions I carried. I found it so interesting to learn about that and how unresolved trauma can affect you so much as an adult. I always felt so calm after every session and it has definitely improved my sleep. Neena thank you so much, I appreciate everything you’ve taught me!”
