WEAVING ALCHEMY

Wellness Links

Times like these can be a catalyst for self-exploration, creativity, and engaging conversations with depth and substance.

For many, this time is also stressful, calling for compassion, resiliency, and nurturing.

While people handle stress and change in unique ways, science suggests that good self-care can put us on the fast track to feeling less stressed.

Eating well, adequate movement, and meaningfully connecting with a partner are all ways to improve and renew mental and physical health.

Relaxation techniques are also quite nourishing. If you’re someone who has a difficult time relaxing, yoga nidra may help to soothe your system.  While lying down, you’re guided through a relaxation experience for the whole body. It’s a deeply restorative technique with proven benefits for the body.

I’ve included links to a few wellness resources that I’ve recently shared with clients. I hope you’ll find something useful, enjoy a new experience, or even decide to take the free course from Yale.

Feel free to share these links with anyone who is actively improving their self-care, and I’d love you to share any resources that you’ve found valuable during this time. If you’d like to explore working with a Holistic coach, I am currently accepting new clients. Let’s chat!

Be well!
