So much is expected of you when you work on the frontlines

Our bodies respond instinctively when we feel challenged: the neck or jaw tightens. The stomach gets queasy. Physical discomfort requires physical strategies. This training offers simple techniques to get you and your body working together so you can handle the challenge and communicate effectively in a way that feels better.

Come prepared to ignite your curiosity and to explore new ways of taking care of yourself, especially in those tough moments.

Learning objectives:

• To experience tuning into automatic cues at an earlier stage of feeling uneasy.
• To practice a variety of effortless tools you can use right in the challenging moment that helps you think clearly and feel better. 

A light supper will be served at this workshop.
