Depending on the client, we offer many techniques to help clients deal with the many sources of stress in their lives, to minimize the negative and optimize the positive, including hypnotherapy, meditation, and others. Naturally, this is an experience customized to the feelings and needs of our clients, and we work together to find the perfect 'relaxer' to help relieve stress. We will identify and teach you techniques you can use on an ongoing basis to relieve stress. We offer the option to work in one-on-one sessions or with others in a group seminar.
Depending on the needs of the client, stress management could encompass one standalone session, a session incorporated within a personal training session, or a series of sessions. We could be private, small group, or large group session - whatever works best.
