stress-reduction workshop for women

• Are you stressed, scattered, frazzled, and overwhelmed?
• Is self-care just one more obligation on your to-do list that you never get to?
• Have you learned and read all about self-care and stress reduction, but none of it sticks?
• Do you beat yourself up for being so stressed even though you 'should' know better?

Like many other busy, smart women you understand the negative effects and stress and you know about mindfulness, the importance of saying 'No', and making self-care an integral part of your life.

BUT...

you're still stressed and want to feel better.

This 4-week workshop is for women who want to make real, sustainable shifts in their everyday lives so they can feel more:

• Organized
• Present
• Mindful
• Calm
• Patient
