When stress becomes prolonged or intense (trauma), the body and brain enter a stress-based state. This can lead to ongoing stress symptoms like trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, chronic tension, stress-related ailments, or learning challenges. These effects can have a cascading impact across the lifespan.

Healing-centered practices help the body and brain return to a balanced, restorative, or high-performance state. Central to this process is the care of the brain, nervous system, and stress-related patterns held in the muscle memory. Advances in neuroscience and epigenetics inspire powerful habits to relieve stress and improve well-being.

Course Objectives:
