# 1 Stress Reduction Coaching
Ideal for people with limited time
schedules or as a complement to the MBSR program described below. No matter how busy you are, you'll find effective
ways to minimize your stress while maximizing the health restoring moments in your life.
What

we learn from your scores to develop a personal structured stress-reducing plan. Realistic weekly goals and user-friendly,
everyday practical skills will help you stick to plan. The initial face-to-face meeting takes one hour and can
be followed by brief 15-30 minute phone check-ins or in-person meetings according to your schedule and personal preference.
#2 Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction-MBSR
An 8-week class & full day retreat Over 30 years of research prove MBSR's
effectiveness in taking the sting out of stress. Developed by renowned researcher, Jon Kabat-Zinn, this class introduces
a variety of practices to deepen awareness of our physical, emotional, and cognitive responses to life's ups
and downs. Left unchecked, stress takes a toll on our physical and emotional health. The good news is that MBSR
significantly reduces the harmful effects of everyday hassles as well as the bigger life crises.
You'll learn how to manage your life and relationships with increased calm, clarity and ease.
What

attention and support. You'll receive your own Home Practice Manual and two CD's to help you create a daily
routine outside of class. Dress in loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.
