Anxiety Seminar

This presentation will provide the WHY anxiety shows up in individuals, WHAT anxiety is exactly, and the WISDOM of anxiety.

• Together we will do many somatic exercises (far beyond deep breathing) that will immediately diminish the intensity of anxiety. These are extremely helpful exercises that your team can begin utilizing with the students they work with.
• Also, our double board certified physician will take a portion of the conference and discuss nutrition, exercise, botanicals, and integrative health - all as it relates to diminishing anxiety.
