11jul9:00 am10:00 amWhat is Stress Costing You? Take Your Health Beyond Conventional Medicine

Event Details

Event Details

This workshop will be Live on Zoom

GIVE ME 5 DAYS.

I’ll show you how to reclaim your life and your health.

I invite you to cast aside your belief that the medical system is the only way to heal.

Join me on a 5-day journey of self-discovery.

THIS IS MORE ESSENTIAL THAN ANY MEDICAL ADVICE OR MEDICATION OUT THERE.

You can be the best patient, take all the medications, and follow all the rules of western medicine, but without this missing link, none of it matters. I will show you how to act from an aligned place.That’s when the magic happens!

When you are truly connected to your higher self, you don’t have to rely solely on outer forces to begin to heal.

YOUR BODY WANTS YOU TO HEAL AND BE STRONG

Ready to create that deep connection and shift to greater health?

Get yourself signed up and check your email for details! I can’t wait to see you.

Get ready to shift your perspective and energy!

Be prepared to understand how chronic stress is killing you.

Understand this challenge is one of a kind.

I’m not holding anything back.

I’m going ALL-IN to give you everything you need to create major shifts in your own health, mindset and energy so that you can become authentically aligned with your higher self. When that happens, you can’t help but begin to feel better and come back to re-membered wellness!

Yes, this is FREE—and that’s pretty awesome. I’m offering this because I’m on a mission to help chronically stressed women and women diagnosed with autoimmune illnesses to connect with the power within redirect the body back to health create the life they love while staying connected and aligned with family and friends.

Here’s a quick sneak peek of what’s included!

Day One: Your Relationship with Yourself

Your relationship with yourself is paramount. You are a creation machine. Everything you create is a reflection of yourself. You are the foundation—literally, the main player in your own health. In order to create wellness, you have to believe it’s possible, listen to your own body, and know your body is working with you to come back to health.

Day Two: What Are Your Boundaries?

Do you honour yourself? What are your internal boundaries?

Your internal boundaries reveal your boundaries with the outer world. If you don’t honour yourself, how can others honour you? Too often as women, we put the needs of others before our own. The reality is that people treat us the way we treat ourselves. If we don’t hold ourselves in high regard and protect our interests, why would anyone else? The best way to support your body and move away from stress and illness is to set your boundaries. We start by doing this internally.

Day Three: Stress is Killing You: How Stress Impacts your Body

Start to understand how stress affects your body.

The more you know about your body and how stress impacts it, the more tools you can call on to protect yourself. On Day Three, you’ll get clear on the ways chronic stress sets the stage for dis-ease to enter the body, and how this increases flares in your autoimmune illness.

Day Four: Does Vulnerability Scare You?

Nothing is wrong with you.

The more you ask for help, the stronger you will become. The beauty of being vulnerable is that in reaching out for help, you create a community where you feel safe and supported—where you can grow stronger and heal.

Day Five: Maintaining Your Inner Connection

Now that you have connected to your true self, your physical body, mind, and spirit, you’ll learn to incorporate some daily practices to keep it up! I’ll share amazing tools and techniques I’ve used to live a life with joy, and move through each day with ease and flow.

Sounds amazing, right?

I’ll see you there!
