About the Presentation:
In this interactive workshop Maria uses stories, as well as data driven techniques and tools, to encourage participants to implement practices that build a strong foundation that allows them to recalibrate their nervous system and thrive in their decision making and lives.
This workshop includes the topics of intentionality, mindset mastery, self-awareness, self-care, boundaries, play, and community building. Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss and practice techniques that are proven to reduce cortisol (a stress hormone) and increase happy hormones. The shift creates positive ripples in every area of our lives and relationships. Attendees have reported that they walk away feeling equipped, with relevant and tangible tools, to take control of their current condition, whether recovering from or preventing burnout.
