Stress Management & Mindfulness Workshops

Our goal should not to be stress free. We simply cannot completely eliminate stressful situations from our lives. Examine the current state of THE world (outside your home) combined with the current state of YOUR world (inside your home.) Between politics, economy, racism, wars, climate change, pandemic, combined with your family/friend/romantic relationships, responsibilities, jobs tasks, deadlines, kids and what you watch on TV, theres bound to be an occurrence that triggers stress and anxiety. Our goal should be to manage our reaction levels to stress and learn how to alleviate its’ dangerous effect on our health. These workshops serves as an introduction to teach people that we can manage our reactions to stress and reduce its negative side effects on our health through small daily actions. I’ve taught Mindful Wellness classes for The New York Society Rescue Mission, The Covenant House Organization in NYC, and Hour Children event for formerly incarcerated mothers through Colgate/Palmolive. As a single mother performing artist who was trying to survive in NYC I know what stress can do to you mentally and physically. And as a Dance/Fitness instructor for 24 years and in the Wellness Community for 12 years I’m passionate about helping people be the best version of themselves. The tools for managing this kind of stress are not readily available. And I want to change that!

    We will discuss the meaning of Mindfulness: being aware in the present moment of our emotions, thoughts, feelings and/or bodily sensations, and how we can use it to manage stress. By being present and paying attention to our food intake, exercise regime, thought process, breathing and sleeping patterns and meditation practices, we can change how external stress effects us both mentally and physically. Not everyone has the luxury of spending hours per day devoted to self care. But by participating in my workshop, as listed below, you will only need 10 minutes per day to start your mindfulness journey of managing stress and reducing its negative effect on your health:

    As you learn it, practice it, and apply it, this 2 hour class will be the catalyst to your Wellness Journey.
