These Days, Everyone is Concerned about Stress
People Understand Today that Stress is Bad
But Until they Know the Enemy, Stress can remain a problem
The Most Powerful Tool we have to Fight Stress
Is Knowledge and Understanding

Patti has lectured extensively in many Corporate and Business venues to educate people about the Nature of Stress, the effects it can have, and has helped hundreds to understand and develop strategies to address one of the most prevalent health concerns of our time.

Stress Management Education

Classes and Presentations can be for Health Days "Lunch and Learn", Wellness Fairs, Individual Groups or a Weekly format to allow for deeper exploration of the subject and experience of the techniques Stress Reduction Education is commonly a combination of Informational and Experiential Resources. It is the awareness of the Nature, Origins and Effects of Stress that begins our journey towards solutions, but in all cases it is the activating principle of doing something, almost anything, that is the success factor in our quest. People need to not only understand but experience the benefits of Stress Management. The more extensive a study that we undertake, the easier it is to develop and incorporate positive changes for ourselves and others around us.

The effects of Stress have short and long term consequences for our health! Learning about the Nature of Stress, the Physiological Implications, the Warning Signs and Strategies for addressing the effects can be a powerful, available and accessible tool that you can "carry with you." In addition, the results of Stress Management tend to be cumulative, so the more that you explore and work with it, the more benefits you derive!

And the good news is: Therapeutic Massage and Aromatherapy (among others) are valid and great therapies for the reduction of Stress. Once again, the "cumulative benefit" effect is something that takes a part in making changes in our lives that enhance our short term and long term health. Let's sit down today to discuss a plan for addressing your concerns and finding your way to a more healthy and happy life!

Combining information and practice into different formats can offer alternatives for Sessions that combine Knowledge and Experience in varying degrees within a format that allows individuals to gain the most helpful understandings appropriate to their present situation and offer resources for further exploration. Each presentation is tailored to the needs of the Group as the Instructor uses her extensive background in related areas to weave together custom classes for individuals and groups.
