All of us develop patterns and coping mechanisms for protection and to help us deal with stress, fear, and pain. We’re often unconscious of our patterns and even when we become awake to them we may not realize that these behaviours, emotional responses, or thoughts are “state not trait.” That is, they are not WHO we are, but HOW we learned to show up to life.
In the Discharge Stress + Feel More Empowered Workshop, I offer education and practices to help you live with joy in a stressful world and move stress through your body, rather than suppressing, bypassing, hiding, or existing in a chronically stressed state.
Thank you so much for offering the recent workshop on discharging stress. I was uncertain about what to expect, but your presentation style and delivery put me at ease right away. I watched the workshop live and then watched the recording, because there was just so much information to absorb and process. Thank you for sharing your questionnaires, notes and graphics. They are so useful. One of my key takeaways was to take time to be more self aware and to accept (without judgment) where I am. And I loved the list of suggestions that you gave at the end of the workshop.

watch THE WORKSHOP IF…
- You want to reclaim the wisdom of your body and turn toward and work with your body rather than deny, suppress, numb, or fight against your body and experience.
- You’re curious about how to discharge stress instead of bottling it up and carrying it with you through life.
- You’re ready for less hiding and more thriving and choose to live whole and brave, and feel more empowered through the stressors of life instead of waiting for life to be miraculously easy.

Education is empowering and regulating in and of itself. Watch the recording of the FEEL MORE EMPOWERED WORKSHOP at your own pace using the handouts/exercises provide.
If you want to interrupt old patterning that you’ve spent decades reinforcing and you want to build new, healthy patterns in your life so that you feel more empowered in your life, it will take work. I’m not into quick fixes; I’m into quality education and practicing consistent (imperfect) action to feel safe, at home, and joyful in my body and my life.

I just wanted to thank you for the really thought provoking session and for your generosity in sharing so much with us this evening. I identify strongly with your process and your ideas and I want to express my appreciation to you for modelling an alternative way to be in the world. I will continue to follow and appreciate your gentle strength and guidance through the messiness of life and hope to join you for further sessions in future.

Thank so much for the opportunity to participate in your workshop. I was able to relate to the information. Recognizing what’s happening and being able to understand it is half the battle.

I found your workshop on the neuro system totally enlightening and useful! Thank you again for your wonderful insights.

I learnt heaps in this workshop, especially the parts about the autonomic nervous system, the ideas for releasing ‘stuck’ energy from the body, the bits about shame stories and switching that story to acknowledging your body & wiring trying to protect you. The links to the stress measures were also useful, and the Befriend Your Nervous System map is an excellent way of making the ANS stuff clearer, as was your explanation.
My most treasured part of the workshop, though, one that I have written out on a card an put on my bathroom mirror is the part framing the path to wholeness and a brave and beautiful life through the lens of deepening our roots of self-awareness, self-compassion and learning how to take IMPERFECT action. That was/is pure gold to me.
