More Joy…Less Stress: Mind-Body Connection 8-week Journey

More Joy…Less Stress: Mind-Body Connection 8-week Journey

WHY:

Are you experiencing stress, fatigue, overwhelm, trouble sleeping, and maybe even burnout?

Do you sometimes second-guess yourself and have trouble making decisions?

Have you had a past trauma that may be contributing to feeling “stuck”, fearful or “dis-ease” in your body?

Are you feeling sad or overwhelmed by recent community and world events?

All of the above rob you of joy, peace, energy, passion, purpose,etc.

The More Joy…Less Stress: Mind-Body Connection 8-week Journey will take you through a learning and experientialpractice of mind-body medicine to improve and align your mind, body and spirit/purpose. It is an evidence-based model with proven outcomes provided by a Certified Mind-Body Medicine coach and practitioner.

You deserve this!

HOW:

The Journey includes 8 consecutive weeks of 90 to 120 minute in-person small group sessions at CMC Therapy. Each session consists of a didactic learning piece on one or more mind-body medicine skills/techniques, an experiential process to practice the techniques and a processing/sharing of your experience doing the technique, plus a simple, yet powerful, home practice exercise to instill each skill.

This is coaching, not therapy. It is an opportunity to connect with a certified practitioner in Mind-Body Medicine and a group of like-minded people to learn some powerful, practical, healthy coping skills for dealing with stress, trauma and dis-ease. While the process does include personal sharing, participants are in control of how and what they share.

RESULTS:

These mind-body skills are relatively simple, yet life changing. They can facilitate the body’s ability to heal itself. Research clearly shows that prolonged stress contributes to serious diseases such as high blood pressure, heart irregularities, anxiety, insomnia, persistent fatigue, digestive disorders, mental health issues, diminished fertility, diabetes, and suppresses immune system to name a few.

Mind-Body Medicine teaches self-care and self-healing techniques to reduce and prevent stress, pain and the trauma response, regulate blood pressure, as well as increase and improve sleep, relaxation, digestion, positive mood, thinking and overall brain function. It can also help you be in a state of alignment to have better communication, connection with others and more confidence to create the results you are looking for in all areas of your life!

Regular price is $500…2024 Spring Discount: $400 which includes the Journey of 8 groups @ 90–120-minutes, a 1:1 prep call with the coach, a bonus group (reunion group 1 month after program completion) and valuable handouts and home-practice assignments.

For the full benefit and the support of other group members, each participant is expected to attend all 8 sessions. The bonus session is highly recommended but is not mandatory. None of the sessions are recorded. If for unforeseen circumstances a session is missed, the coach will provide information on the session’s technique and the home practice assignment.

Testimonials:

“The Mind-Body Medicine group was a fantastic experience. It is often difficult to find space for yourself in a fast-moving work and personal life. This group taught me the importance of breathing exercises and other effective techniques to manage everyday stress. It is a supportive and encouraging group. It is an in-depth and personal journey group. I’ve gained a great understanding of myself and how I see others and the world. I have learned to let go of anything that does not add to my happiness and no longer serves my highest good. Leslie and Michele opened my eyes to the fact that I need to give myself the grace I give to others. I looked forward to group and working Michele to uplift my spirit. I’m grateful for the awareness it brought into my life and for the rest of my life.” ~Crystal

“The group allowed me to acknowledge my stress and anxiety, along with become more intentional to working on it. Every group I felt a sense of peace and freedom and throughout my week…It was an amazing group and amazing facilitators. They were genuine and warm and I wouldn't have wanted it to be anyone else.” ~ Cristina

“I have noticed positive changes from the group… I am more focused on the present and listening to my body. “ ~ Chanel

“I have tools to deal with anxiety and stress I did not have before….I feel facilitators were practicing what they were teaching. I saw positive changes in group members and myself throughout this course….” ~KK
