Professional Group Trainings or Individual Sessions
I am a former psychotherapist and adjunct professor of psychology, also trained as a coach. What I have loved most in my career has been teaching revolutionary ways to improve lives through decreasing chronic stress, deepening inner connections and living out potentials.
Now I am looking at the levels of stress and negative thinking in modern life, wanting to help organizations, businesses and individuals learn to release and transform these states independently. From there a calm sureness exists that will radically change thinking. Increasing use of mind’s potential will begin from there. To reach this place, maintaining stable long term use of the techniques is necessary. New habits are essential, so habit formation will be taught, based on the research backed Tiny Habits methods. The training also includes practicing more happy, calm, intentional, effective and creative mind states.
My own life has been a journey from feeling stressed a great deal of the time, always wishing to please others, to finding my own inner place of intention, calm and centered state of being.
When I live out of this state, I know I am able to use more of my mind’s potentials, and I feel so much better. I have used many tools through this journey and have distilled and synthesized them to bring you a unique package. Bringing this to the workplace, those in healthcare, and anyone wanting to learn these tools will increase the quiet joy in the environment, bring out the effective productive thinking you want to see, enhance creative idea making and this comes through while decreasing stress and negativity.
Imagine a society where people are feeling good, communicating well with others, performing well in their roles, able to handle and release stresses and perform their duties with positivity, effective focus and creativity, living out more of their potentials. Learning a definite way to add positive habits goes a long way toward increasing your life enjoyment and productivity.
I know that when people are feeling burned out, they can use a new arsenal of techniques that can easily be used to calm the nervous system, build new habits to maintain what works and increase use of positive mind potentials.
If your business or you as an individual could learn easy to use methods to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, change habit patterns and increase positive mental states, wouldn't you want to do it? It is transformative. Learn how to escape the stressed out chaotic mind. Build your calm joyful center.
Which would you rather feel like?
It's easy to have an entire business, care center or just personally be so overwhelmed by stress that nothing is done about it. It feels like there is no time and getting help is a luxury. Meanwhile, less is accomplished and health problems increase. A vicious cycle can develop.
Learn how to rewire your stressed out chaotic mind.
Build your calm joyful center.

Participants report feeling happier, more grateful, and more hopeful. They have better access to ideas, creativity, and personal stamina.
Abundant ways to release stress are presented in books, articles, apps, podcasts and so on. They are helpful but can’t give readers/listeners the experiential training and practice that a group training in real time can provide. In addition:
People learn better in an environment of support, encouragement, humor and self-expression.
