Manage Stress

Stress is America's #1 health problem. According to the American Institute of Stress, up to 90% of all health problems are related to stress. Too much stress contributes to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression and sleep disorders. Additional studies confirm the debilitating effects of stress on our health:

A Harvard Medical School study of 1,623 heart attack survivors found that when subjects got angry during emotional conflicts, their risk of subsequent hear attacks was more than double of that of those who remained calm.
A 20 year study of over 1,700 older men conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health found that worry about social conditions, health and personal finances all significantly increased the risk of coronary disease.
According to a Mayo Clinic study of individuals with heart disease, psychological stress was the strongest predictor of future cardiac events, such as cardiac death, cardiac arrest and heart attacks.
Studies at Harvard and MIT have proven that relaxation techniques help reduce blood pressure, relieve chronic pain and insomnia and increase mental focus.

Stress management is the foundation of everything I do, whether it is quitting smoking, losing weight, eliminating fears, etc. I combine Hypnosis, N.L.P (Neuro Linguistic Programming), E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and other techniques to help each client learn how to reduce and manage their stress on an ongoing basis.

You have heard the adage "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". That is my approach: I teach clients how to use multiple techniques to reduce and then to continue to manage their stress for a lifetime. The techniques I use and teach are quick and easy to learn and use. I realize the more simple I can make it, the greater the chances are that your will continue to use them.
