Hello! So many of us are feeling stressed and have become accustomed to it as if living day to day in a heightened nervous state was normal or that is just how we have to function each day. That is absolutely not true! Check out this article about a research-based device that helps lower our heart rate and reduce stress by tapping into our nervous system. No longer accept being 'nervous' and anxious all day. I appreciate you!

There is a deep biological connection between our sense of touch and our emotional well-being. Touch is a powerful sense that changes how we feel. Learn more on the sense of touch and its effect on the brain.

Emotional dysregulation is a recent term used to describe an emotional component of ADHD. Per research quoted in ADDitude magazine (8/2023), emotional dysregulation is the inability to inhibit inappropriate behavior triggered by strong emotions, to self-soothe, refocus, and substitute more moderate emotional responses. Join us 9/19 and 9/21 at 6:30pm to learn more about emotional dysregulation and begin living a calmer life!
